First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Move to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.

Skin contact

Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes.

Eye contact

Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do, remove contact lenses. Get medical attention if irritation persists after washing.

Ingestion

Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, keep head low so that stomach content doesn't get into the lungs.

Immediate Medical Attention

Call a physician or poison control center immediately.

Medical Treatment

Treat symptomatically.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Water spray, foam, dry powder or carbon dioxide.

Unsuitable media

Avoid water in straight hose stream; will scatter and spread fire.

Specific hazards

Vapors may cause a flash fire or ignite explosively. Vapors may travel considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. Prevent buildup of vapors or gases to explosive concentrations. Heat may cause the containers to explode.

Instructions

Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Water may be ineffective in fighting the fire. Fight fire from a protected location. Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk.

Firefighter Protection

Firefighters must use standard protective equipment including flame retardant coat, helmet with face shield, gloves, rubber boots, and in enclosed spaces, SCBA.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Keep unauthorized personnel away. Keep upwind.

Large spill

Dike far ahead of larger spill for later recovery and disposal.

Environmental

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

Cleanup methods

Absorb spill with vermiculite or other inert material, then place in a container for chemical waste.

07

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Use personal protective equipment as required. Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Obtain special instructions before use.

Storage

Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place.

Hygiene

Wash hands thoroughly after handling.

Fire prevention

DO NOT handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.

Hands

Material: Chemical resistant gloves

Eyes

Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) and a face shield.

Respiratory

In case of inadequate ventilation use suitable respirator. Chemical respirator with organic vapor cartridge.

Skin/Body

Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves.
