Material Safety Data Sheet Page
Spill/Leak Procedures: May be flushed to drain
Small Spills: May be flushed to drain
Large Spills: For containment; dike far ahead of the spill. Retreave for recycle or disposal.
Regulatory Requirement: Follow applicable OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1910.120 ).
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling
Precautions: Wear safety glasses, , safety gloves, personal protective clothing as required in section 8 in this MSDS.
Storage
Requirements: Store in closed container, cool, dry, in well-venitilated area.
Regu latory
Requirement: See section 15 of this MSDS.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls/ Personal Protection
Engineering
N/A
Controls:
Ventilation: Provide general or local exhaust ventilation systems to maintain airborne concentrations below O SHA PELs (S ec 2).
Local exhaust ventilation is preferred because it prevents contaminant dispersion into the work area by controlling it at its source.
Administrative
N/A
Controls:
Respiratory
Protection: Seek professional advise prior to respirator selection and use, Follow OSHA respirator regulations (29 CFR 1910.134)
and if necessary, wear a MSHA/NIO SH app roved respirator. Select respirator based on it's suitability to provide adequate worker
protection for given working conditions, level of airborne contamination, and presence of sufficient oxygen. For emergency or
nonroutine operations (cleaning spills, reactor vessels or storage tanks), wear an SCBA. Warning! Air purifying respirators do not
protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres. If respirators are used, OSHA requires a written respiratory protection program that
includes at least: medical certification, training, fit-testing, periodic environmental monitoring, maintenance, inspection, cleaning, and
convenient, sanitary storage areas.
Protective
Clothing/
Equipment: Wear chemically protective gloves. Wear protective eyeglasses or chemical safety glasses. Per OSHA eye-and-face-
ptotection regulations (29 CFR 1910.133 ).
Safety
Make emergency eyewash stations, safety/quick-drench showers, and washing facilities available in work area.
Stations:
Conta minated
Equipment: Separate contaminated work clothes from street clothes. Launder before reuse. Remove this material from your shoes
and clean personal protective equipment.
Comm ents: Contact lenses are not safety protection; soft lenses absorb and all lenses concentrate exposure. Practice good personal
hygiene after use of this material especially before eating, drinking, smoking, using the toilet or applying cosmetics. Never eat, drink,
or smoke in work areas.
