SECTION VII - PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
Gloves: Solvent impermeable gloves are required for repeated or prolonged contact.
Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses meeting the specification of ANSI Z87.1 where no contact with the eye is anticipated.
Chemical safety goggles meeting the specifications of ANSI Z87.1 should be worn whenever there is a possibility of splashing
or other contact with the eyes.
Respiratory Protection: None required.
Other Protective Equipment: As necessary to avoid prolonged contact.
Engineering Controls: None required.
Leak and Spill Procedure: Before attempting clean-up, refer to hazard data given above. Keep spectators away. Eliminate all
ignition sources. Dike and contain small spills with an inert material and placed in suitable, covered labeled containers. Prevent
large spills from entering sewers or waterways. Contact emergency services and supplier for advice.
Waste Disposal: Review federal, provincial and local government requirements prior to disposal.
Storage Requirements: Store in a tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-
ventilated area. Ensure storage area has adequate ventilation, and no source of open flame or sparks. Limit quantity of the
material in storage. Ensure all bottles are properly labeled.
SECTION VIII - FIRST AID
Effects of exposure (inhalation, ingestion or skin contact) to substance may be delayed. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of
the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves.
Eye: Immediately flush eyes with a directed stream of water for atleast 20 minutes, while holding eyelids open. If irration or
redness develops or persists, get medical attention.
Skin: Flush affected areas with large amounts of water, remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap
and water. If irritation or redness develops or persists, get medical attention.
Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. If breathing difficulties develop, administer oxygen and get medical attention. If victim is
not breathing, administer artificial respiration and get medical attention.
Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration of
liquid into lungs (Aspiration pneumonitis can be fatal). If victim conscious and alert, give victim luckewarm water. Never
give anything by mouth if victim is unconscious, is rapidly losing consciousness or is convulsing. GET IMMEDIATE
MEDICAL ATTENTION.
