| |
|
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: |
|
|
Eyes: |
Flush with flowing water for at least 15
minutes. Call a physician. |

|
Section VII – Precautions for Safe
Handling and Use |
|
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is
Released or Spilled: |
Contain the spill to prevent a large
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. |
|
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.
|
|
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 excessive vapors or mists are
generated, wear NIOSH/MSHA approved organic vapor/mist respirator. |
|
Ventilation: |
Use local exhaust to control excessive
vapors/mists. If applicable, proper personal protection is a
|
|
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. |
|
Other: |
Open wounds or skin surface disruptions
should be covered with a chemical resistant patch to minimize
absorption risks. Clean clothing should be worn daily to avoid
possible long-term build up of the product leading to chronic
overexposure. |
