    Uploaded by

    Achmad Mahmudy
    1) Benzyl alcohol is a clear liquid with an aromatic odor that is harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through the skin. It is used as a solvent and preservative. 2) Personal protective equipment including chemical splash goggles, gloves, protective clothing and a respirator should be worn when handling benzyl alcohol due to its harmful effects. 3) Benzyl alcohol is flammable and reactive with strong oxidizing agents and acids. It decomposes upon exposure to air and light producing carbon monoxide and dioxide. Proper storage in a cool, dry, tightly sealed container under nitrogen is required.
