Read the chemical’s MSDS.

The MSDS (now commonly called SDS) provides comprehensive, authoritative information on hazards, required personal protective equipment, safe handling and storage, first aid, and spill/cleanup procedures. Labels and internet searches can help but are not as complete or reliably specific; a similar chemical’s label may be incorrect for this substance.
