05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Use DRY sand, graphite powder, dry sodium chloride based extinguishers, G-1 or Met L-X to smother fire.

Unsuitable media

DO NOT use halogenated fire extinguishing agents. DO NOT USE WATER, CO2 or FOAM.

Specific hazards

Reacts with acids producing flammable / explosive hydrogen (H2) gas. Containers may explode on heating. Dusts or fumes may form explosive mixtures with air. Gases generated in fire may be poisonous, corrosive or irritating. Hot or burning metals may react violently upon contact with other materials, such as oxidising agents and extinguishing agents used on fires involving ordinary combustibles or flammable liquids. Temperatures produced by burning metals can be higher than temperatures generated by burning flammable liquids. Some metals can continue to burn in carbon dioxide, nitrogen, water, or steam atmospheres. Explosions can occur with coils of foil that have been submerged or partially submerged in water for an extended period of time.

Instructions

Alert Fire Department and tell them location and nature of hazard. Use fire fighting procedures suitable for surrounding area. DO NOT approach containers suspected to be hot. Cool fire exposed containers with water spray from a protected location. If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire. If impossible to extinguish, withdraw, protect surroundings and allow fire to burn itself out.

Firefighter Protection

Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves in the event of a fire. Equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Advise personnel in area. Alert Emergency Services and tell them location and nature of hazard.

Small spill

Clean up immediately. Avoid breathing dust. Use dry clean up procedures. Sweep, shovel or vacuum (explosion-proof). Place in sealable container.

Large spill

Do not use compressed air. Use flame-proof vacuum. Use non-sparking tools. Grounding and bonding. If molten: contain with dry sand/salt flux, preheat tools, allow to cool.

Environmental

Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water courses.

Cleanup methods

Dry: Use dry clean up procedures and avoid generating dust. Collect residues and place in sealed plastic bags or other containers for disposal. Wet: Vacuum/shovel up and place in labelled containers for disposal. Wash area down with large amounts of water and prevent runoff into drains.

Materials: sealed plastic bags or other containers

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Develop work practices and procedures that prevent particulate from coming in contact with worker skin, hair, or personal clothing. Never use compressed air to clean work clothing or other surfaces. Wash hands before eating or smoking. Remove surface scale or oxidation formed on cast or heat treated products in an adequately ventilated process prior to working the surface.

Storage

Store in original containers. Keep containers securely sealed. Store in a cool, dry area protected from environmental extremes. Store away from incompatible materials and foodstuff containers.

Hygiene

Wash hands before eating or smoking. Provide appropriate cleaning/washing facilities. Procedures should be written that clearly communicate the facility's requirements for protective clothing and personal hygiene.

Fire prevention

All tooling, containers, molds and ladles, which come in contact with molten metal must be preheated or specially coated, rust free and approved for such use. Any surfaces that may contact molten metal (e.g. concrete) should be specially coated.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Metal dusts must be collected at the source of generation as they are potentially explosive. ▶ Avoid ignition sources. ▶ Good housekeeping practices must be maintained. ▶ Dust accumulation on the floor, ledges and beams can present a risk of ignition, flame propagation and secondary explosions. ▶ Do not use compressed air to remove settled materials from floors, beams or equipment ▶ Vacuum cleaners, of flame-proof design, should be used to minimise dust accumulation. ▶ Use non-sparking handling equipment, tools and natural bristle brushes. Cover and reseal partially empty containers. Provide grounding and bonding where necessary to prevent accumulation of static charges during metal dust handling and transfer operations. ▶ Do not allow chips, fines or dusts to contact water, particularly in enclosed areas. ▶ Metal spraying and blasting should, where possible, be conducted in separate rooms. This minimises the risk of supplying oxygen, in the form of metal oxides, to potentially reactive finely divided metals such as aluminium, zinc, magnesium or titanium. ▶ Work-shops designed for metal spraying should possess smooth walls and a minimum of obstructions, such as ledges, on which dust accumulation is possible. ▶ Wet scrubbers are preferable to dry dust collectors. ▶ Bag or filter-type collectors should be sited outside the workrooms and be fitted with explosion relief doors. ▶ Cyclones should be protected against entry of moisture as reactive metal dusts are capable of spontaneous combustion in humid or partially wetted states. ▶ Local exhaust systems must be designed to provide a minimum capture velocity at the fume source, away from the worker, of 0.5 metre/sec. > Local ventilation and vacuum systems must be designed to handle explosive dusts. Dry vacuum and electrostatic precipitators must not be used, unless specifically approved for use with flammable/ explosive dusts.

Hands

Experience indicates that the following polymers are suitable as glove materials for protection against undissolved, dry solids, where abrasive particles are not present. ▶ polychloroprene. ▶ nitrile rubber. ▶ butyl rubber. ▶ fluoroaoutchouc. ▶ polyvinyl chloride. Gloves should be examined for wear and/ or degradation constantly.

Eyes

▶ Safety glasses with side shields. ▶ Chemical goggles. ▶ Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lenses or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59], [AS/NZS 1336 or national equivalent]

Respiratory

Particulate. (AS/NZS 1716 & 1715, EN 143:2000 & 149:001, ANSI Z88 or national equivalent) - Respirators may be necessary when engineering and administrative controls do not adequately prevent exposures. - The decision to use respiratory protection should be based on professional judgment that takes into account toxicity information, exposure measurement data, and frequency and likelihood of the worker's exposure - ensure users are not subject to high thermal loads which may result in heat stress or distress due to personal protective equipment (powered, positive flow, full face apparatus may be an option). - Published occupational exposure limits, where they exist, will assist in determining the adequacy of the selected respiratory protection. These may be government mandated or vendor recommended. - Certified respirators will be useful for protecting workers from inhalation of particulates when properly selected and fit tested as part of a complete respiratory protection program. - Where protection from nuisance levels of dusts are desired, use type N95 (US) or type P1 (EN143) dust masks. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU) - Use approved positive flow mask if significant quantities of dust becomes airborne. - Try to avoid creating dust conditions. - Class P2 particulate filters are used for protection against mechanically and thermally generated particulates or both. - P2 is a respiratory filter rating under various international standards. Filters at least 94% of airborne particles

Skin/Body

▶ Overalls. ▶ P.V.C apron. ▶ Barrier cream. ▶ Skin cleansing cream. ▶ Eye wash unit.
