Rash occurred following charging the BIT (active) to the reactor. The BIT originally used was 72% and no problems existed - rash occurred only after beginning use of the 84% a.i. There were 2 workers involved - both male - and both following the same procedure - on different days. Both wore full face respirator, gloves and chemical resistant suit - however - neck was exposed while charging the material - rash developed on neck of both. The Lab Manager also noted a rash on the front of her neck after testing the BIT in the lab. She wore a lab coat and gloves and worked with the material in the hood.
