7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Water is the most effective extinguishant, but dry chemical, CO2, sand, earth, or regular foam can be used.
A large quantity of matches may burn rapidly with flare burning effect.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
The likelihood of match head composition being released into the environment
is low. If significant quantities of matches are released by breakage or spillage
then remove all potential sources of ignition, salvage any undamaged product
and wet down the remaining product before cleaning up.
In storage, matches give off no toxic fumes or flammable gases. Matches do
not spontaneously catch fire although fires can occur if the product is
mishandled. Handling and storage requirements are such as to minimize
sources of ignition, and other highly flammable materials.
Store in a cool, dry location, away from heat, open flames or sparks, or
flammable materials.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
No special measures are required when handling matches.
