SECTION 6 : ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions:
Evacuate area and keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering the spill area. Use proper personal
protective equipment as listed in Section 8. Avoid contact with clothing. Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
Environmental Precautions:
Avoid runoff into storm sewers, ditches, and waterways.
Methods for containment:
Contain spills with an inert absorbent material such as soil or sand. Prevent from spreading by covering, diking or
other means. Provide ventilation.
Methods for cleanup:
Clean up spills immediately observing precautions in the protective equipment section. Place into a suitable
container for disposal. Provide ventilation. After removal, flush spill area with soap and water to remove trace
residue.
SECTION 7 : HANDLING and STORAGE
Handling:
Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor and contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area away from sources of heat, combustible materials, and incompatible
substances. Keep container tightly closed when not in use.
Hygiene Practices:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Avoid inhaling vapor or mist.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls:
Use appropriate engineering control such as process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering
controls to control airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. Good general ventilation should be
sufficient to control airborne levels. Where such systems are not effective wear suitable personal protective
equipment, which performs satisfactorily and meets OSHA or other recognized standards. Consult with local
procedures for selection, training, inspection and maintenance of the personal protective equipment.
Eye/Face Protection:
Wear appropriate protective glasses or splash goggles as described by 29 CFR 1910.133, OSHA eye and face
protection regulation, or the European standard EN 166.
Skin Protection Description:
Chemical-resistant gloves and chemical goggles, face-shield and synthetic apron or coveralls should be used to
prevent contact with eyes, skin or clothing.
Respiratory Protection:
A NIOSH approved air-purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge or canister may be permissible under
certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits. Protection provided
by air purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if there is any potential for an
