Special protective equipment and precautions for fire fighters
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. Special Hazards: Carbon, nitrogen, sulphur & sodium oxides.
6. Accidental Release Measures
- Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
- No further information available.
- Methods and materials for containment and clean up
- Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment Section. Sweep up or absorb material, then place into a suitable clean, dry, closed container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.
7. Handling and Storage
- Precautions for safe handling
- Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep container tightly closed. Do not ingest or inhale.
- Conditions for safe storage
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep containers tightly closed.
8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Exposure Standards
- Engineering controls
