Storage

• Store perchloroethylene in well-ventilated areas away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
• Segregate perchloroethylene from incompatible materials such as oxidizing agents, strong acids, or alkalis.
• Use appropriate leak-proof containers, preferably made of steel or other compatible materials.

Transport

• Follow all regulations and guidelines for the transportation of hazardous materials, including perchloroethylene.
• Use appropriate containers and packaging material designed for the safe transportation of perchloroethylene.
• Prevent containers from tipping, leaking or being damaged during transportation by securing them properly.

Handling

• Avoid direct contact with skin, eyes, or inhalation of vapors.
• Ensure proper ventilation in the working area to prevent the buildup of vapors.
• Follow safe handling procedures, including using suitable equipment for transfer or dispensing.

Spill Management

• Have spill response kits readily available in areas where perchloroethylene is used or stored.
• In the event of a spill, contain and isolate the area to prevent further contamination.
• Absorb the spilled material using appropriate absorbents and dispose of them properly according to local regulations.
• Report significant spills or releases to the appropriate authorities as required.
