precautions for firefighters
6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. Do not touch
damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Keep
unnecessary personnel away.
Methods for containment Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Stop
leak if you can do so without risk. Move the cylinder to a safe and open area if the leak is
irreparable.
Methods for cleaning up Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean contaminated
surface thoroughly.
