First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Using proper respiratory protection, immediately remove the affected victim from exposure. Administer artificial respiration if breathing is stopped. Keep at rest. Call for prompt medical attention.

Skin contact

Flush with large amounts of water; use soap if available. Remove grossly contaminated clothing, including shoes, and launder before reuse.

Eye contact

Flush eyes with large amounts of water until irritation subsides. If irritation persists, get medical attention.

Ingestion

If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Keep at rest. Get prompt medical attention.

Immediate Medical Attention

Call for prompt medical attention.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical and water fog. Water can be used to cool fire exposed containers

Specific hazards

This liquid is volatile and gives off invisible vapors. Either the liquid or vapor may settle in low areas or travel some distance along the ground or surface to ignition sources where they may ignite or explode. Combustible Liquid can form combustible mixtures at temperatures at or above the flashpoint.

Instructions

Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces and to protect personnel. Isolate "fuel" supply from fire. Use foam, dry chemical, or water spray to extinguish fire. Avoid spraying water directly into storage containers due to danger of boilover.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Shut off source taking normal safety precautions. Take measures to minimize the effects on ground water. Recover by pumping (use an explosion proof or hand pump) or contain spilled material with sand or other suitable absorbent and remove mechanically into containers.

Small spill

No respiratory protection should be needed

Large spill

use self-contained breathing apparatus or air-purifying respiratory protection

Environmental

Prevent material from entering sewers, water sources or low lying areas; advise the relevant authorities if it has, or if it contaminates soil/vegetation.

Cleanup methods

Recover by pumping or contain spilled material with sand or other suitable absorbent and remove mechanically into containers. Remove from the surface by skimming or with suitable absorbents.

Materials: sand or other suitable absorbent

07

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Keep container closed. Handle and open containers with care.

Storage

Keep containers closed when not in use. Do not store in open or unlabelled containers. Store in a cool, well ventilated place, away from strong oxidizing agents and combustible materials. Do not store near heat, sparks, flame or strong oxidants.

Fire prevention

Do not store near heat, sparks, flame or strong oxidants. Use proper bonding and/or grounding procedure.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended to control process emissions near the source. Laboratory samples should be handled in a lab hood. Provide mechanical ventilation of confined spaces. See respiratory protection recommendations.

Hands

chemical resistant gloves

Eyes

Use proper protection – safety glasses as a minimum. For open systems where contact is likely, wear safety glasses with side shields. Where contact may occur, wear safety glasses with side shields.

Respiratory

Where concentrations in air may exceed the limits given in this Section and engineering, work practice or other means of exposure reduction are not adequate, NIOSH approved respirators may be necessary to prevent overexposure by inhalation.

Skin/Body

wear long sleeves, and chemical resistant gloves, protective clothing and footwear
