 | | Ethyl butyl ketone is a clear, colorless liquid with a strong, fruity odor. |
 | | Before a worker is placed in a job with a potential for exposure to ethyl butyl ketone, a licensed health care professional should evaluate and document the worker's baseline health status with thorough medical, environmental, and occupational histories, a physical examination, and physiologic and laboratory tests appropriate for the anticipated occupational risks. |
 | | Containers of ethyl butyl ketone should be protected from physical damage and ignition sources, and should be stored separately from acetaldehyde, perchloric acid, and oxidizing agents such as, peroxides, chlorates, perchlorates, permanganates, and nitrates. |
