In most cases, PVC itself shouldn't cause serious harm. However, if dust from PVC is inhaled, move the person to fresh air and administer CPR if necessary. For skin or eye contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water. If PVC is swallowed, rinse the mouth with water but do not induce vomiting. If you experience any concerning symptoms after exposure, seek medical attention.

When handling PVC, avoid creating dust and wear appropriate protection like gloves and a dust mask to prevent inhalation.

Store PVC in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Most importantly, PVC fires can release hazardous gases like carbon oxides and hydrogen chloride. In case of a fire, use water spray, a fire extinguisher, or wear breathing apparatus if necessary.
