equipment with soapy water before returning to service. Avoid extinguishing methods
that may generate dust clouds.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1 Spills:
Before cleaning any spill or leak, individuals involved in spill cleanup must wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment.
For small spills (e.g., <1 gallon) wear appropriate personal protective equipment (e.g., goggles, gloves). Maximize ventilation (open doors and
windows) and secure all sources of ignition. Remove spilled material with absorbent material and place into appropriate closed container(s) for
disposal. Dispose of properly in accordance with local, state and federal regulations. Wash all affected areas and outside of container with plenty of
warm water and soap. Remove any contaminated clothing and wash thoroughly before reuse.
For spills 1 gallon, deny entry to all unprotected individuals. Dike and contain spill with inert material (e.g., sand or earth). Use ONLY non-sparking
tools for recovery and cleanup. Transfer liquid to containers for recovery or disposal and solid diking material to separate containers for proper disposal.
Remove contaminated clothing promptly and wash affected skin areas with soap and water. Keep spills and cleaning runoffs out of municipal sewers
and open bodies of water.
