5. Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing media Use Carbon Dioxide, Dry chemical, Alcohol resistant foam.
Special Hazards Dangerous when exposed to heat of flame. Containers may explode in heat of fire.
Protective Equipment for Fire Fighting Wear full protective clothing and use breathing apparatus.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions Wear appropriate protective clothing. Eliminate sources of ignition. Vapour is
heavier than air and will collect in basements or depressions etc.. Avoid breathing
vapour.
Environmental Precautions Try to prevent the product entering drains or water courses.
Spillages Small spillages can be flushed with large volumes of water. Larger spillages should
be collected for disposal. Contain using absorbent material such as earth, sand or
other inert material.
7. Handling and Storage
Handling Use in well ventilated area. Avoid breathing in vapour, mist or resultant cleaning
fumes or steam. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Keep container tightly
closed. Larger containers (20Ltrs) are heavy. Take care when lifting and pouring.
Storage Storage area should be well ventilated, cool and dry. Store in original containers.
Re package into plastic container only if container becomes damaged. Store away
from sources of heat.
8. Exposure Controls - Personal Protection
Occupational Exposure Limits Long Term (8h) OSHA PEL ACGHIH TLV
OEL TWA
2-Aminoethanol 3ppm 3ppm 3ppm
Engineering Control Measures Ensure work area is well ventilated and equipment exhausted. If pouring is needed
then this should be arrange so as not expose the operator to unnecessary vapour
levels or splashing.
Respiratory Protection Respiratory protection if there is a risk of exposure to vapour.
Hand protection Nitrile rubber gloves or PVC gloves should be used when handling or pouring
Eye Protection Close fitting Chemical goggles should be worn when handling or pouring.
Skin Protection Normal work wear but rubber apron if there is a danger of splashing or spillage.
Foot Protection Wear protective boots or toe caps when handling drums.
