Clean-Up Methods: Contain and soak up large spill with sand or earth, transfer into appropriate spill containers, clean affected area with detergent
Disposal of Waste: Dispose as hazardous chemical waste according to local regulations, do not flush into sewers
Decontamination: Wash area post clean-up to avoid residual slip hazard
Handling Precautions: Work in well-ventilated areas, wear personal protective equipment, avoid contact with eyes and skin, prevent inhalation of vapor
Technical Measures: Use explosion-proof electrical equipment, ground and bond containers during transfers
Hygiene Requirements: Wash thoroughly after handling, remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse
Storage Conditions: Keep containers tightly closed in cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from sunlight, heat sources, and incompatible materials
Packaging Materials: Use sealed glass, HDPE, or metal containers, avoid prolonged storage in mild steel
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation or general dilution ventilation to minimize vapor levels
Respiratory Protection: Use organic vapor respirator if ventilation inadequate
Eye Protection: Chemical safety goggles or face shield
Skin Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or vinyl), long sleeves
