Desoximetasone Related Compound A

Move to fresh air. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist.

Rinse skin with water/shower. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.

Rinse with water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.

Rinse mouth. If ingestion of a large amount does occur, call a poison control center immediately.

Water. Foam. Dry chemical or CO2. Use fire-extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding materials.

None known.

No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted.

Use water spray to cool unopened containers. As with all fires, evacuate personnel to a safe area. Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.

Keep unnecessary personnel away. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Avoid inhalation of dust from the spilled material. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.

Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal. Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination.

Materials: suitable container

As a general rule, when handling USP Reference Standards, avoid all contact and inhalation of dust, mists, and/or vapors associated with the material. Clean equipment and work surfaces with suitable detergent or solvent after use. After removing gloves, wash hands and other exposed skin thoroughly. Select and use containment devices and personal protective equipment based on a risk assessment of material potency and exposure potential.

Store in tight container as defined in the USP-NF. This material should be handled and stored per label instructions to ensure product integrity.

After removing gloves, wash hands and other exposed skin thoroughly.

Control exposures to below the occupational exposure level (if available). Select and use containment devices and personal protective equipment based on a risk assessment of exposure potential. Cover all containers for solutions and slurries while being transferred. For laboratory operations, use approved ventilation or containment system (biological safety cabinet, ventilated balance enclosure, glovebox). No open handling.

Wear nitrile or other impervious gloves if skin contact is possible. When the material is dissolved or suspended in an organic solvent, wear gloves that provide protection against the solvent. Consider double gloves.

Wear safety glasses with side shields, chemical splash goggles, or full face shield, if necessary. Base the choice of protection on the job activity and potential for contact with eyes or face. An emergency eye wash station should be available.

Chose respiratory protection appropriate to the task and the level of existing engineering controls. Use a powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) with HEPA filters, disposable outerware and head cover for spill cleanup.

Base the choice of skin protection on the job activity, potential for skin contact and solvents and reagents in use. Do not wear protective garments in common areas (e.g., cafeterias) or out-of-doors. Train employees in proper gowning and degowning practices. Wear disposable lab coat, disposable sleeve covers and two pair of gloves as appropriate for the task.

Material is stable under normal conditions.

The product is stable and non-reactive under normal conditions of use, storage and transport.

No dangerous reaction known under conditions of normal use.

Contact with incompatible materials.

Strong oxidizing agents.

Irritating and/or toxic fumes or gases. Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions. F-.
