I formulate photopolymers and they are mostly acrylic monomers mixed
with acrylated epoxies or urethanes.
Here are the Radtech recommendations for proper handling:

Just one of the rather ewww images that can be turned up with a search for 3d
printing resin injury.

Safety first. Never move a resin printer with resin in it. Wear long chemical proof
gloves, a chemical proof apron, and a face shield. Sure you can get by with a pair of 10
mil nitrile gloves and being very very careful, and making sure the dog, cat, kids, and
everyone else that could jostle an elbow is locked out of the room, but having chemical
liquid safety gear is safer. I don't have a resin printer yet, I want one, but really
don't have a need for one yet. I could work with one without going to a high level of
protection, but there are definitely things I'm perfectly willing to observe the fails of
others and go "Nope, not gonna try that just to see if it'll happen to me
too.". I have, for getting close to 40 years, had food and drink next to every
computer I've ever owned and not once have I ever spilled any.
