Emergency Procedures
•
As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area for at least 50
meters (150 feet) in all directions. If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire,
ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for
800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. LARGE SPILL: Consider initial downwind
evacuation for at least 300 meters (1000 feet) ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no
smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Keep unauthorized personnel
away. Stay upwind. Keep out of low areas. Ventilate closed spaces before entering.
Environmental precautions
•
Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Containment/Clean-up
Measures
•
Stop leak if you can do it without risk.
Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to
containers.
Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material.
A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors.
All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded.
LARGE SPILLS: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal.
LARGE SPILLS: Water spray may reduce vapor; but may not prevent ignition in
closed spaces.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Precautions for safe handling
Handling
•
Use only in well ventilated areas. Avoid contact with heat and ignition sources. Take
precautionary measures against static charges. Do not use sparking tools. All
equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Wear appropriate
personal protective equipment, avoid direct contact. Avoid breathing . Avoid contact
with skin, eyes, and clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and
before eating, drinking, or using tobacco.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Storage
•
Store in a tightly closed container. Keep away from incompatible materials. Store in a
well-ventilated place. Store in an area equipped with automatic sprinklers or fire
extinguishing system. Store below 150º F. Empty containers contain product
residues, assume emptied containers to have same hazards as full containers.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Control parameters
Exposure controls
Engineering
Measures/Controls
•
Good general ventilation should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to
conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits.
If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable
level. Use only appropriately classified electrical equipment.
Personal Protective Equipment
Respiratory
•
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Follow the
OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134. Use a NIOSH/MSHA
approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or symptoms are experienced.
Eye/Face
•
Wear chemical splash safety goggles.
Skin/Body
•
Wear appropriate gloves.
Environmental Exposure
Controls
•
Controls should be engineered to prevent release to the environment, including
procedures to prevent spills, atmospheric release and release to waterways. Follow
best practice for site management and disposal of waste.
