PREVENTIVE MEASURES |
| PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: |
Wear
gloves and goggles when handling very small quantities during normal use. Use appropriate respirator if misty
conditions prevail. Wear boots and
apron in addition to face shields and gloves if handling large quantities. |
| GLOVES (SPECIFY): |
Neoprene,
PVC, rubber. |
| RESPIRATORY (SPECIFY): |
Self-contained
breathing apparatus if vapour or mist is present or if TLV is exceeded. |
| EYE(SPECIFY): |
Splash
proof safety goggles or full face shield. |
| FOOTWEAR (SPECIFY): |
Impervious
boots if handling large quantities. |
| CLOTHING (SPECIFY): |
Eye
bath, showers. |
| OTHER (SPECIFY) |
|
| ENGINEERING CONTROLS: |
Provide
mechanical ventilation of confined spaces. |
| LEAK AND SPILL PROCEDURE: |
Zone
off contaminated area. Ventilate. Wear protective gear. Only adequately trained persons should
participate in the clean up. For small
spills neutralize with soda ash or lime and wash down with large quantities of
water. Alternatively, absorb on
vermiculite, dry sand or a similar material. |
| WASTE DISPOSAL: |
Dispose
of through a licensed waste disposal facility equipment. |
| HANDLING PROCEDURES & EQUIPMENT: |
Use
trained personnel only. Wear suitable
protective equipment. |
| STORAGE REQUIREMENTS: |
Store
in a separate, well ventilated cool, dry area.
Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. |
