For all such question as this, I suggest reading labels and MSDSs. After both reading, and understanding, the label and the MSDS, you will then know the precautions to be incorporated into your use and handling of the chemical. If you find the MDSD difficult to understand, or believe it to be inadequate, then raise a bit of H___ with the supplier of the chemical until you are informed of what you find to be missing in the MSDS and/or label.
