personal risk or without suitable training.
Special protective equipment for : Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-
fire-fighters contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated
in positive pressure mode.

Section 6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

For non-emergency personnel : No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without
suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and
unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through
spilled material. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment.
For emergency responders : If specialised clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of
any information in Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable materials. See
also the information in "For non-emergency personnel".

Environmental precautions : Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil,
waterways, drains and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the

product has caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil

or air).

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Spill : Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Prevent
entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash
spillages into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows.
Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material
e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and place in
container for disposal according to local regulations (see Section 13).
Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Note: see Section
1 for emergency contact information and Section 13 for waste
disposal.

Section 7. Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Protective measures : Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8).
Advice on general occupational : Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this
hygiene material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands
and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated
clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. See
also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene measures.

Conditions for safe storage, : Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container
including any incompatibilities protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area,
away from incompatible materials (see Section 10) and food and
drink. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use.
Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept
upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use
appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.

Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection

Occupational exposure limits
None.

Appropriate engineering controls : Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control worker
exposure to airborne contaminants.
Environmental exposure controls : Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be
checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of
environmental protection legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers,
filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be
necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.

Hygiene measures : Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical
products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end
of the working period. Appropriate techniques should be used to
remove potentially contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated
clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety
showers are close to the workstation location.
Eye/face protection : Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used
when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to
liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts. If contact is possible, the
following protection should be worn, unless the assessment indicates a
higher degree of protection: safety glasses with side-shields.

Skin protection

Hand protection : Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved

standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products
if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary.
Body protection : Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based
on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be
approved by a specialist before handling this product.
Other skin protection : Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures
should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks
involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling this
product.
Respiratory protection : Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying
with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is
necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated
exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits
of the selected respirator.
