To ensure safety when working with 3M products, it's important to follow specific guidelines. For instance, when dealing with 3M sealants or adhesives, ensure adequate ventilation to control exposure to airborne substances 3, 5. If ventilation is insufficient, use respiratory protection equipment 3, 5. Always wear appropriate eye protection, such as safety glasses with side shields or indirect vented goggles, to prevent contact with eyes 2, 3. Skin protection is also crucial; use gloves and protective clothing approved to relevant local standards 2, 3.

In case of a spill, evacuate the area and ventilate it with fresh air 1, 4, 5, 6, 7. For large spills, mechanical ventilation may be necessary 1, 4, 5, 6, 7. Use non-sparking tools to collect the spilled material and place it in a container approved for transportation [1]. Clean up any residue with an appropriate solvent, following the safety precautions on the solvent label and SDS [1].

When handling 3M products, avoid breathing dust, fume, gas, mist, vapors, or spray 4, 5, 7, 9. Do not get the product in your eyes, on your skin, or on your clothing 4, 7, 9. Wash thoroughly after handling and do not eat, drink, or smoke while using the product 4, 5, 7, 9. Store 3M products in a well-ventilated place, away from heat, acids, and oxidizing agents 4, 9.
