ENGINEERING CONTROLS (SPECIFY eg. VENTILATION, ENCLOSED PROCESS)
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user
operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.
LEAK AND SPILL PROCEDURE
Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container.
WASTE DISPOSAL
According to local, provincial, and federal regulations.
HANDLING PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT
Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep away from combustible material Empty containers pose a fire risk, evaporate the residue
under a fume hood. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not ingest. Do not breathe dust. Wear suitable protective clothing In case of insufficient
ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Container may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues
(Dust, Solids) observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product. Oxidizing materials should be stored in a separate safety storage cabinet or room
SPECIAL SHIPPING INFORMATION
DOT CLASS 5.1: Oxidizing material. WHMIS (Canada) CLASS C: Oxidizing material.CLASS D-2B: Material causing other toxic effects (TOXIC).
SECTION 8 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SPECIFIC MEASURES
SKIN After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin with running
water and non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. Cold water may be used. Cover
the irritated skin with an emollient. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.
EYES Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids op
Cold water may be used. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention.
INHALATION Allow the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.
INGESTION Do not induce vomiting. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues are damaged, a possible indication that the
toxic material was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt
or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek immediate medical attention.
IF IRRITATION PERSISTS AND IN ALL OTHER CASES, GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
