Section 6. Accidental release measures
Spill and Leak : Immediately contact emergency personnel. Keep unnecessary personnel away. Use suitable protective
equipment (Section 8).
If emergency personnel are unavailable, contain spilled material. For small spills add absorbent (soil
may be used in the absence of other suitable materials) scoop up material and place in a sealed, liquid-
proof container for disposal. For large spills dike spilled material or otherwise contain material to ensure
runoff does not reach a waterway. Place spilled material in an appropriate container for disposal.
Dispose of as in Section 13.
Section 7. Handling and storage
Handling : Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Keep container closed. Use only with adequate ventilation.
Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Storage : Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: All precautions must be observed. Empty container may retain product residues.
Section 8. Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
Selection of personal protective equipment (PPE) is to be established by performing a PPE hazard assessment. In the U.S.A, OSHA
requires completion of a certified PPE hazard assessment as described in 29 CFR 1910.132.
Engineering controls : Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors
below their respective occupational exposure limits. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers
are close to the work-station location.
Personal protection

HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Good personal hygiene practices are required at all times when handling chemicals. These practices include,
but are not limited to, washing when safety equipment is removed, at the end of each shift or when going on breaks and especially if
contamination occurs.
