What precautions should be taken when handling 3-cyanobenzoic acid (CAS: 1877-72-1)?

When handling 3-cyanobenzoic acid (CAS: 1877-72-1), appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, safety glasses, and a lab coat should be worn. The compound should be stored in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. In case of a spill, it should be cleaned up using appropriate procedures as outlined in the material safety data sheet (MSDS/SDS).
