As long as you are aware that Toxicities quoted in MSDS are based on an average response across the population but not everyone has the same reaction which is where allergic reactions come in.
If you are going to plane (I assume you mean them I recommend using good dust extraction - you haven't mentioned what you have in this regard.

You won’t get rid of all the blue tinge in places particularly if there are little splits or knots as it will have seeped through.
It is fine to do for a workbench etc but wouldn’t do it for furniture grade with a natural finish as you will likely get some blue hues through the job

I think the H2 will be fine for your work bench. Especially if you dress it so the blue is gone from anywhere work pieces might be clamped to. You could even cover it with plywood.
If you are brand new to woodwork and have limited tools then you might want to start out with DAR untreated timber for furniture. You'll find why after you have hand planed all those boards for your work bench without a vise.

Thanks everyone. After all this, someone selling 2500lm of untreated 90mmx45mmx6m for $2.50/lm appeared on Facebook marketplace. I ended up getting double what I needed for the workbench and still saved money. It was used for racking in a clean, dry warehouse and stored inside once disassembled, so I assume that means it should be nice and dry. Just need to finish off a few other jobs around the house and it's time to build a workbench!
At least I know quite a bit about wood treatments, safety precautions and applications now
