material safety data sheet
I just can't get my head around this one and am not happy with my translation at all.
This is taken from a material safety data sheet and means nothing else than it should be ensured that no one goes near the spillage of the hazardous substance.
How can I translate this as short as possible?
Thanks a bunch.

Keep uninvolved persons away
That's closer to the German text, I believe. "Unauthorized persons" may possibly refer to a different set of people than "uninvolved persons".
Direct uninvolved persons away from the area. Ensure
a clear exit for yourself. Stay calm; speak clearly and concisely. ...

(sorry to be posting a second answer - I had to hide my first one as the use of "personnel" instead of "persons" was misleading).
