Special Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective gear
Firefighting Instructions: Move containers from fire area if possible, cool with water spray to prevent rupture from heat, control contaminated water run-off
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, ventilate the area, avoid contact with spilled material, wear suitable protective equipment (gloves, goggles, respirators as needed)
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, sewers, and natural waterways; notify authorities if product enters environment in significant amounts
Clean-Up Procedures: Absorb with inert material (e.g., sand, earth), sweep up and place in labelled container for disposal, wash area with water and detergent, avoid dry sweeping to limit dust
Handling: Use proper laboratory or industrial hygiene practices, avoid breathing dust, fumes, or vapors, avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing, wash hands thoroughly after use, no eating, drinking, or smoking while handling
