spray as a protective measure, where feasible.

SECTION 6 : Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Wear protective equipment. Use respiratory protective device against the effects of fumes/dust/aerosol. Keep
unprotected persons away. Ensure adequate ventilation.Keep away from ignition sources. Protect from
heat.Stop the spill, if possible. Contain spilled material by diking or using inert absorbent. Transfer to a disposal
or recovery container.
Environmental precautions:
Prevent from reaching drains, sewer or waterway. Collect spilled liquid for recovery, treatment or disposal.

Limits for Air Contaminants (29 CFR 1910.1000) (02 2006)
Appropriate Engineering controls: Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in
the immediate vicinity of use/handling.Provide exhaust ventilation or
other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapor
or mists below the applicable workplace exposure limits (Occupational
Exposure Limits-OELs) indicated above.
Respiratory protection: Not required under normal conditions of use. Use suitable respiratory
protective device when high concentrations are present. Use suitable
respiratory protective device when aerosol or mist is formed. For spills,
respiratory protection may be advisable.
Protection of skin: The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/
the substance/ the preparation being used/handled.Selection of the glove
material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and
the degradation.
Eye protection: Safety glasses with side shields or goggles.
General hygienic measures: The usual precautionary measures are to be adhered to when handling
chemicals. Keep away from food, beverages and feed sources.
Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing. Wash hands
before breaks and at the end of work. Do not inhale
gases/fumes/dust/mist/vapor/aerosols. Avoid contact with the eyes and
skin.
