| Section
VII - Precautions for Safe Handling and Use |
|
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: |
Contain the
spill to prevent discharge to surface |
| streams or
storm sewers. Since landfill operations will not accept liquid waste,
allow to dry if possible before collecting for |
| disposal. An
absorbent material would aid in cleaning up a liquid spill. If liquid
cleanup is necessary, collect in drums, |
| buckets, or
other containers. Scrub spill area with detergent, flush with copious
amounts of water. |
|
Waste Disposal Method: |
The environmental concern is discoloration of land or water. If
possible, the product |
| should be
dried before disposal. Disposal must be made in accordance with
federal, state, and local regulation. |
|
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing: |
Local exhaust. Do not freeze. Avoid unnecessary skin |
| contact. Do
not breathe fumes. Keep containers closed when not in use. |
| Other
Precautions: |
Eye wash fountains should be easily accessible. As with all chemicals,
keep out of the reach of |
| children. |
| Section
VIII - Control Measures |
|
Respiratory: |
If vapors or
mists are generated, wear NIOSH/MSHA approved organic vapor/mist
respirator. |
|
Ventilation: |
Use local exhaust to control vapors/mists if applicable. Protection:
NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator. |
|
Clothing: |
Gloves, coveralls, apron, boots as necessary to prevent skin contact
as needed. |
| Eye: |
Chemical goggles; wear face shield if splashing hazard exists. |
