Section 6. Accidental release measures
Move containers from spill area. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment.
Approach release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements
or confined areas. Avoid dust generation. Do not dry sweep. Vacuum dust with
equipment fitted with a HEPA filter and place in a closed, labeled waste container.
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
Advice on general
occupational hygiene
Conditions for safe storage,
including any
incompatibilities
Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this 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.
Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and approved area.
Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated
area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10) and food and drink. Store
locked up. Eliminate all ignition sources. Separate from oxidizing materials. 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.

Protective measures
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Do not swallow.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wear
appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Do not enter storage areas and
confined spaces unless adequately ventilated. Keep in the original container or an
approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in
use. Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame or any other ignition source.
Use only non-sparking tools. Empty containers retain product residue and can be
hazardous. Do not reuse container.

Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection
Ingredient name
Exposure limits
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.
Appropriate engineering
controls
:
Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or
other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any
recommended or statutory limits. The engineering controls also need to keep gas,
vapor or dust concentrations below any lower explosive limits. Use explosion-proof
ventilation equipment.
