Handling Procedures and Equipment: COMBUSTIBLE
DUST, IRRITANT. Workers using this chemical must be
properly trained in its hazards and its safe use, and must
wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing. Avoid
generating dust. If there is dust, keep away from heat,
sparks, and all sources of ignition; avoid the accumulation of
static charge, use anti-sparking tools and ground and bond
equipment and containers. Use the smallest amount possi-
ble for the purpose, in a designated area with adequate
ventilation. Use good housekeeping to prevent accumula-
tions of dust. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid
inhalation. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Storage Requirements: Store in suitable, labelled contain-
ers, in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight
and away fromheat and ignition sources and incompatible
materials. Storage area should be free of combustible ma-
terials. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use and
when empty. Protect from damage.
FIRST AID MEASURES
Specific Measures:
Eyes: Flush eyes thoroughly with gently running water,
holding eyelids open while flushing, for five to ten (5-10)
minutes, or until no trace of chemical remains. Get medical
advice if irritation develops.
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Brush or wipe off dry
material. Flush skin with plenty of running water until no evi-
dence of chemical remains. Get medical advice if irritation
develops. Decontaminate clothing before reuse.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical attention for irritation or discom-
fort from dust inhalation.
Ingestion: Rrinse mouth thoroughly with water and give 2
to 4 glasses of water to drink to dilute. If victim feels unwell,
or if a very large amount has been ingested, get medical at-
tention.
