Specific methods Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.

Accidental release measures

SECTION 6: Accidental release measures

6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Wear

appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not touch damaged containers

or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal

protection, see section 8 of the SDS.

For non-emergency

personnel

Keep unnecessary personnel away. Use personal protection recommended in Section 8 of the

SDS.

For emergency responders

Avoid release to the environment. Inform appropriate managerial or supervisory personnel of all

environmental releases. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Avoid discharge into

drains, water courses or onto the ground.

6.2. Environmental precautions

Prevent product from entering drains.

Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is

possible. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. Following product

recovery, flush area with water.

Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to

remove residual contamination.

Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.

6.3. Methods and material for

containment and cleaning up

Exposure controls / personal protection

8.2. Exposure controls

Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) 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. Provide

eyewash station.

Appropriate engineering

controls

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment

Use personal protective equipment as required. Personal protection equipment should be chosen

according to the CEN standards and in discussion with the supplier of the personal protective

equipment.

General information

Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).

Skin protection

- Hand protection Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
