5.3. Advice for firefighters
Protective actions during
firefighting
Avoid breathing fire gases or vapours. Evacuate area. Keep upwind to avoid inhalation of
gases, vapours, fumes and smoke. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Cool
containers exposed to heat with water spray and remove them from the fire area if it can be
done without risk. Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out.
If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse vapours and protect men stopping
the leak. Avoid discharge to the aquatic environment. Control run-off water by containing and
keeping it out of sewers and watercourses. If risk of water pollution occurs, notify appropriate
authorities.
Special protective equipment
for firefighters
Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and appropriate protective
clothing. Firefighter's clothing conforming to European standard EN469 (including helmets,
protective boots and gloves) will provide a basic level of protection for chemical incidents.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal precautions No action shall be taken without appropriate training or involving any personal risk. Keep
unnecessary and unprotected personnel away from the spillage. Wear protective clothing as
described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. Follow precautions for safe handling
described in this safety data sheet. Wash thoroughly after dealing with a spillage. Ensure
procedures and training for emergency decontamination and disposal are in place. Do not
touch or walk into spilled material. Evacuate area. Risk of explosion. Provide adequate
ventilation. No smoking, sparks, flames or other sources of ignition near spillage. Promptly
remove any clothing that becomes contaminated. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
6.2. Environmental precautions
Environmental precautions Avoid discharge into drains or watercourses or onto the ground. Avoid discharge to the
aquatic environment. Large Spillages: Inform the relevant authorities if environmental pollution
occurs (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for cleaning up Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. Clear up spills
immediately and dispose of waste safely. Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. No
smoking, sparks, flames or other sources of ignition near spillage. Approach the spillage from
upwind. Under normal conditions of handling and storage, spillages from aerosol containers
are unlikely. If aerosol cans are ruptured, care should be taken due to the rapid escape of the
pressurised contents and propellant. Small Spillages: Wipe up with an absorbent cloth and
dispose of waste safely. Large Spillages: If the product is soluble in water, dilute the spillage
with water and mop it up. Alternatively, or if it is not water-soluble, absorb the spillage with an
inert, dry material and place it in a suitable waste disposal container. Flush contaminated area
with plenty of water. Wash thoroughly after dealing with a spillage. Dangerous for the
environment. Do not empty into drains. Dispose of waste to licensed waste disposal site in
accordance with the requirements of the local Waste Disposal Authority.
6.4. Reference to other sections
