Personal Precautions: Use chemical-resistant gloves and splash goggles, prevent skin contact, ventilate area, restrict unnecessary personnel
Environmental Precautions: Keep spill from entering drains, waterways, or soil
Small Spills: Absorb with inert material such as vermiculite or sand, place in chemical waste container, wash spill site after material pickup is complete
Large Spills: Evacuate area, wear standard respirator mask and full suit, dike spill if safe to do, contact local hazardous materials team
Cleanup: Collect residue and contaminated absorbent with sturdy tools, seal in labeled chemical waste drums, dispose according to approved waste requirements
Handling: Always wear gloves and safety goggles, only open containers in ventilated space, avoid inhalation, prevent spills and splashes, minimize exposure duration
Hygiene Measures: Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling, wash hands and face before breaks or after use, keep emergency eyewash and shower nearby
