A few tid-bits from that:
*********

DANGER! MAY BE FATAL IF SWALLOWED. HARMFUL IF INHALED. MAY CAUSE
IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES, AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. AFFECTS MUSCLES
(INCLUDING THE HEART), AND CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.

Health Rating: 3 - Severe (Poison)

Lab Protective Equip: GOGGLES; LAB COAT; VENT HOOD; PROPER GLOVES

In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved
self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the
pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.

Sounds rather nasty on the whole for a home shop application.
