6. Accidental release measures
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Approach release from
upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash
spillages into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain and collect
spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or
diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to local regulations
(see Section 13). Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Contaminated
absorbent material may pose the same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see
Section 1 for emergency contact information and Section 13 for waste disposal. Large spill :
Store in accordance with local regulations. Store away from direct sunlight in a dry, cool
and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10) and food
and drink. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Eating, drinking and
smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and
processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking.
Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.
Pressurized container: protect from sunlight and do not expose to temperatures
exceeding 50°C. Do not pierce or burn, even after use. Do not ingest. Avoid contact
with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing gas. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Use
only with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is
inadequate. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous.

8. Exposure controls/personal protection
Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved
standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be
based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe
working limits of the selected respirator.
Personal protection
Respiratory :
Engineering measures : Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or
other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any
recommended or statutory limits.
Hygiene measures : Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before
eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.
Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.
Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety
showers are close to the workstation location.
Recommended monitoring
procedures : If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal, workplace
atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to determine the effectiveness of
the ventilation or other control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory
protective equipment. Reference should be made to appropriate monitoring standards.
Reference to national guidance documents for methods for the determination of
hazardous substances will also be required.
