3/6
Emergency procedures
:
Contain spill and monitor for excessive dust accumulation. ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no
smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Ventilate closed spaces before entering.
Turn off electric power to area. As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak
area for at least 100 meters (330 feet) in all directions. Evacuate area.
6.2. Environmental precautions
Avoid release to the environment.
6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for cleaning up
:
Sweep or scoop spills, dispose of any unusable material in approved landfill. Use appropriate
PPE. Dust deposits should not be allowed to accumulate on surfaces, as these may form an
explosive mixture if they are released into the atmosphere in sufficient concentration. Non-
sparking tools should be used.
