First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
No emergency care anticipated, other than removal from exposure.
Wash with soap and water.
Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact with eyes, immediately flush out with water particularly under eyelid.
Symptoms: No significant irritation expected other than possible mechanical effects.
If large quantities are ingested seek qualified medical advice.
Symptoms: Small quantities are unlikely to constitute a health hazard.
Immediate Medical Attention
Obtain medical advice if irritation persists.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
CO2, extinguishing powder or water spray.
Non.
Remove material from fireplace to prevent packaging from burning.
Firefighter Protection
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and fully protective suit.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Exclude non-essential personnel.
No special measures necessary except for avoid spillage to drains and reservoirs of drinking water due to its potential of colouring.
Collect spillage mechanically or by vacuum.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
The removal of the polythene film from IBC (big bags) and palletised sacks may generate an electrostatic charge and should therefore not be carried out in atmospheres containing flammable vapours. Big bags should be handled on pallets or sling hoists designed for the purpose. Never lift using all four loops on a single hook. When using a fork lift truck place two loops over each fork and ensure that the weight is evenly distributed. Special care should be taken when piling the material. Pallets with big bags or paperbags are unsuitable as foundation.
Store in a cool and dry place away from strong light. Once opened, close and seal bags to avoid contamination, moisture uptake and dusting.

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Provide adequate ventilation. Where reasonably practicable this should be achieved by containment at source, local exhaust ventilation (LEV) and good general extraction.
Use rubber safety gloves (EN 420/EN 374) or skin-protecting ointments when direct in contact with the pigment.
Prevent eyes for dust. Use safety glasses with side-shields.
If these are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of particulate below the relevant exposure limits, suitable respiratory protection should be worn. Where LEV is not practicable and exposure is likely to be excessive, approved respiratory protection to CEN standards EN 140 and EN 141, 143 or 149 should be worn.
Wear dust-appropriate suit (tight woven overalls) to avoid dust to reach the skin. Prevent naked skin for soiling. Iron oxide dust is hygroscopic and may result in a dry-out of the human skin.
