Hazards from Combustion: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen bromide vapors
Personal Protective Equipment: Firefighters need self-contained breathing apparatus, chemical-resistant clothing, and gloves
Special Procedures: Keep containers cool by spraying with water if exposed to fire. Avoid breathing vapors or decomposition products. Remove personnel from area if safe to do so.

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Avoid inhalation of dust. Prevent skin and eye contact using gloves and goggles. Ventilate the area.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent surface and groundwater contamination. Do not allow material to reach drains or watercourses.
Cleaning Methods: Sweep up and collect spillage in sealed, labeled containers for proper disposal. Wash area with copious amounts of water. Use non-sparking tools and minimize dust generation.
Notification Procedures: Report spills to relevant local authorities according to applicable regulations.

Handling and Storage

Handling: Use only in well-ventilated areas. Avoid creating and breathing dust. Wear appropriate protective clothing including gloves, goggles, and lab coat. Wash hands after use.
Storage: Store in tightly closed, labeled containers away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers and acids. Keep in a cool, dry place with temperature controls if needed. Protect from light, moisture, and sources of ignition. Limit access to authorized personnel. Monitor for container integrity regularly.

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Use chemical fume hood or adequate ventilation. Emergency eye-wash stations and safety showers should be available.
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits. Minimize exposure by safe practices.
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, face shield if splash risk, laboratory coat, dust mask or respirator (P95 or better) if aerosol formation possible.
Hygiene: Do not eat, drink, or smoke in work area. Wash hands and any exposed skin before breaks and after handling.
Environmental Controls: Use localized exhaust to reduce dust and vapors. Dispose of waste responsibly to avoid environmental discharge.
