Personal Precautions: Use personal protective equipment—gloves, goggles, mask—avoid dust formation
Environmental Precautions: Keep spills out of waterways and sewers, notify authorities in case of large spill
Cleanup Methods: Sweep or scoop up using non-sparking tools, place in labeled waste container, ventilate area, wash spill site after material pickup
Disposal: Handle collected material as hazardous waste according to local regulations
Handling: Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing; use proper local exhaust ventilation; handle in well-ventilated environment; wear suitable personal protective gear
Storage: Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry location; isolate from incompatibles such as strong acids or oxidizers; label container clearly; keep away from food and beverages
Special Instructions: Prevent build-up of dust, minimize exposure duration, keep container upright to avoid leaks
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established specific limits for zinc malate; use zinc compounds OEL as reference if required
