tightly closed. Store the containers in a well ventilated cabinet or in a
recommended flameproof storage container. They must be kept away

First aid
Ideally, all operators should be trained in First Aid and should be aware of
the possible effects of working with flammable and toxic substances.
All operators must have access to the ink and solvent Material Safety Data
Sheets, which explain the hazards and the actions to be taken if First Aid is
necessary.
You must ensure that the First Aid information is readily available in the
event of ink and solvent contact with the eyes or skin, ingestion or
inhalation.
Procedures
The following paragraphs are the First Aid procedures for inks and
solvents taken from the Material Safety Data Sheets. For more detailed
information you should refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet for the
relevant ink or solvent.
Eye contact with inks or solvents
Remove contact lenses, if necessary, before flushing the eyes. Flush the
eyes with clean running water and continue to do so for at least 10 minutes,
holding the eyelids apart. Obtain medical attention.
Skin contact with inks or solvents
Remove any contaminated clothing. Wash the affected area thoroughly
with soap and water, or use a proprietary skin cleaner. Do NOT use
solvents or thinners to remove ink from skin. Obtain medical attention if
irritation occurs or persists after washing.
Ingestion of inks or solvents
If accidentally swallowed, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Obtain
immediate medical attention. Rinse the mouth thoroughly with water and
give large amounts of water to drink if the person is conscious. Keep at
rest, and provide warmth and fresh air.
Inhalation of solvent fumes
Remove the affected person to fresh air immediately. If breathing stops,
administer artificial respiration and obtain immediate medical attention.
Keep the affected person warm and at rest.
