Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

If inhaled, remove to fresh air.

Skin contact

Wash with water and soap as a precaution.

Eye contact

Flush eyes with water as a precaution.

Ingestion

If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth thoroughly with water.

Immediate Medical Attention

Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Water spray, Alcohol-resistant foam, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Dry chemical

Unsuitable media

None known.

Specific hazards

Exposure to combustion products may be a hazard to health.

Instructions

Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Remove undamaged containers from fire area if it is safe to do so. Evacuate area.

Firefighter Protection

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary. Use personal protective equipment.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Follow safe handling advice and personal protective equipment recommendations.

Large spill

For large spills, provide diking or other appropriate containment to keep material from spreading. If diked material can be pumped, store recovered material in appropriate container.

Environmental

Discharge into the environment must be avoided. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Prevent spreading over a wide area (e.g. by containment or oil barriers). Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.

Cleanup methods

Soak up with inert absorbent material. Clean up remaining materials from spill with suitable absorbent.

Materials: inert absorbent material
