Inhalation: Move casualty to fresh air; rest in a position comfortable for breathing; get medical help if symptoms develop.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly; do not induce vomiting without instructions from medical professional; seek immediate medical care.
Most Important Symptoms/Effects: Irritation of eyes, skin, respiratory tract; possible gastrointestinal distress if swallowed.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, CO2, or foam can suppress flames.
Special Hazards: Combustion may generate hazardous fumes including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, phosphorous oxides, and hydrogen bromide.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters need full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Advice for Firefighters: Evacuate area; avoid inhaling combustion products; use appropriate extinguishing techniques.

Personal Precautions: Wear appropriate protective gear including gloves, goggles, and dust mask or respirator.
Preventive Actions: Remove ignition sources; alert staff about the spill; ventilate area.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent from entering waterways or sewers; notify authorities of significant releases.
Cleanup Methods: Collect spilled material with non-combustible absorbent (such as sand or soil); place in sealable container for disposal; wash area thoroughly after cleanup.
Decontamination: Wash tools and equipment with plenty of water; dispose of cleaning solutions and absorbents properly.
Precautions for Safe Handling: Handle in well-ventilated area; avoid generation of dust; avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing; do not eat, drink, or smoke while using.
Storage Conditions: Keep container closed tightly when not in use; store in dry, cool, well-ventilated space; isolate from incompatible materials (strong oxidizers, strong acids).
Other Information: Keep away from food, beverages, and animal feed; maintain good housekeeping to reduce dust formation and accumulation.
Engineering Controls: Use local and general ventilation to minimize exposure.
Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields or chemical splash goggles.
Hand Protection: Use chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile recommended).
