When you are dealing with this chemical, you should be very careful. For one thing, it is irritant which may cause inflammation to the skin or other mucous membranes. This chemical is irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. For another thing, it is highly flammable which may catch fire in contact with air, only needing brief contact with an ignition source, and it has a very low flash point or evolve highly flammable gases in contact with water. 

Therefore, you should take different measures to deal with different cases. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection and then avoid contacting with skin and eyes. And if in case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. Besides, do not breathe gas/fumes/vapour/spray (appropriate wording to be specified by the manufacturer) and then keep it away from sources of ignition - No smoking.
