What safety precautions should be taken when handling mineral spirits?

When handling mineral spirits, it is important to wear protective gloves, goggles, and a mask to prevent skin and eye irritation, as well as respiratory issues. Work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling fumes, and avoid smoking or using open flames as mineral spirits are flammable. Store mineral spirits in a cool, dry place away from heat sources and keep away from children and pets.
