precautions
or walk through spilt material.
Environmental : Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers.
Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution (sewers,
precautions
waterways, soil or air).
Methods for : If emergency personnel are unavailable, vacuum or carefully scoop up spilt material and place
in an appropriate container for disposal. Avoid creating dusty conditions and prevent wind
cleaning up
dispersal.
Section 7. Handling and storage
Handling : Do not ingest. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Avoid breathing dust. Avoid contact

Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection
Engineering measures : Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas, vapour
or mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls
to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory
limits. Provide suitable facilities for quick drenching or flushing of the eyes and body in
case of contact or splash hazard.
Personal protection :
Eyes : Use chemical splash goggles. For continued or severe exposure wear a face shield over the
goggles.
Hands : Use chemical-resistant, impervious gloves.
Skin : Use synthetic apron, other protective equipment as necessary to prevent skin contact.
Respiratory : A respirator is not needed under normal and intended conditions of product use.
