COMPOST QUICK
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and
unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Provide adequate
ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8).
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Approach release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined
areas. Wash spillages into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material e.g.
sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see Section 13). Dispose of via a licensed
waste disposal contractor. Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see Section 1 for emergency contact
information and Section 13 for waste disposal.
Environmental precautions
Accidental release measures
:
Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product
has caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Personal precautions
:
Large spill

Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute with water and mop up if water-soluble. Alternatively, or if water-insoluble, absorb with an
inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

Methods for cleaning up
Store in accordance with local regulations. 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. 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.
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). 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. Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Use only with adequate ventilation.
Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept
tightly closed when not in use. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container.

Exposure controls/personal protection
Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator
selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator.
Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid
splashes, mists or dusts. If contact is possible, the following protection should be worn, unless the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection:
chemical splash goggles.
Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a
specialist before handling this product.

:
Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk
assessment indicates this is necessary. Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check during use that the gloves are still
retaining their protective properties. It should be noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may be different for different glove
manufacturers. In the case of mixtures, consisting of several substances, the protection time of the gloves cannot be accurately estimated.

Engineering measures
:
Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas, vapor or mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust
ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits.
Hygiene measures
:
Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the
end of the working period.
Recommended monitoring
procedures
:
If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal, workplace atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to
determine the effectiveness of the ventilation or other control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory protective equipment.
Reference should be made to appropriate monitoring standards. Reference to national guidance documents for methods for the
determination of hazardous substances will also be required. No monitoring equipment are required if no occupationnal exposure limit
values are suggested.
Environmental exposure
controls
:
Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of environmental
protection legislation.
