Precautions to be observed while handling starch?

When handling starch, it is important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and a mask, to prevent inhalation or skin contact. Ensure that the work area is well-ventilated to minimize dust accumulation and potential respiratory hazards. Additionally, store starch in a cool, dry place away from moisture and heat sources to prevent clumping and degradation. Finally, avoid mixing starch with incompatible substances that could cause reactions.
