After first aid, get appropriate in-plant, paramedic, or community medical support.
Spill/Leak Procedures
Small Spills: Spills may be absorbed using cement powder or fly ash and shoveled into containers.
Neutralize spills with lime, sodium bicarbonate or crushed limestone and prevent runoff. Notify proper
authorities if runoff should occur.
Large Spill Containment: For large spills, dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Do not release
into sewers or waterways.
Cleanup: Spills may be absorbed using cement powder or fly ash and shoveled into containers. Neutralize
spills with lime, sodium bicarbonate or crushed limestone and prevent runoff. Notify proper authorities if
runoff should occur.
Regulatory Requirements: Follow applicable OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1910.120).
Disposal Regulatory Requirements: Follow applicable Federal, state, and local regulations.
Container Cleaning and Disposal: Containers must not be washed out or used for other purposes. Do not
weld or flame cut empty containers.

Section VIII – Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Ventilation: Provide general or local exhaust ventilation systems to maintain airborne concentrations
below OSHA PELs (Sec. 2). Local exhaust ventilation is preferred because it prevents contaminant
dispersion into the work area by controlling it at its source.
Respiratory Protection: Seek professional advice prior to respirator selection and use. Follow OSHA
respirator regulations (29 CFR 1910.134) and, if necessary, wear an OSHA/NIOSH approved respirator.
Select respirator based on its suitability to provide adequate worker protection for given working
conditions, level of airborne contaminations, and presence of sufficient oxygen. For emergency or non-
routine operations (cleaning spills, reactor vessels, or storage tanks), wear an SCBA.
Protective Clothing/Equipment: Wear chemically protective gloves, boots, aprons, and gauntlets to
prevent prolonged or repeated skin contact. Wear protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles, per
OSHA eye and face protection regulations (29 CFR 1910.133). Contact lenses are not eye protective
devices. Appropriate eye protection must be worn instead of, or in conjunction with contact lenses.
Safety Stations: Make emergency eyewash stations, safety/quick drench showers, and washing facilities
available in work area.
Contaminated Equipment: Separate contaminated work clothes from street clothes. Launder before
reuse. Remove this material from your shoes and clean personal protective equipment.
Comments: Never eat, drink, or smoke in work areas. Practice good personal hygiene after using this
material, especially before eating, drinking, smoking, using the toilet, or applying cosmetics.
