Store lubricants in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and ensure containers are tightly sealed to prevent contamination. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when applying lubricants, especially in industrial settings, to avoid skin and eye contact. Regularly check the expiration dates of products and dispose of any expired lubricants according to local regulations to ensure environmental safety.
