Special protective equipment and precautions for fire fighters
Stay in danger area only with self-contained breathing apparatus. Prevent skin contact by keeping a safe distance or by wearing suitable protective clothing.
6. Accidental Release Measures
- Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
- Advice for non-emergency personnel: Avoid inhalation of dusts. Avoid substance contact. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.
- Environmental precautions
- Do not let product enter drains
- Methods and materials for containment and clean up
- Cover drains. Collect, bind, and pump off spills. Observe possible material restrictions. Take up carefully. Dispose of properly. Clean up affected area. Avoid generation of dusts.Ensure adequate ventilation.
7. Handling and Storage
- Precautions for safe handling
- Ensure good ventilation/exhaustion at the workplace. Work under hood. Do not inhale substance/mixture. Prevent formation of aerosols. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Immediately change contaminated clothing. Apply preventive skin protection. Wash hands and face after working with substance.
- Conditions for safe storage
- Keep locked up or in an area accessible only to qualified or authorised persons. Tightly closed and away from sources of ignition and heat. Observe national regulations.
- Store in a well-ventilated place.
- Protect from sunlight
8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Exposure Standards
- Engineering controls
- Protect from heat. Immediately change contaminated clothing. Apply preventive skin protection. Wash hands and face after working with substance.
- Keep respiratory protective device available. DO NOT let product enter drains.
Personal protective equipment
- Eye and face protection
- Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU). Safety glasses
- Skin protection
- Protective gloves
- The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation.
- Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/ the chemical mixture.
- Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation ·
- Material of gloves
- The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. As the product is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application.
- Penetration time of glove material
- The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
- Body protection
- Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed.
- Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing
- Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work.
- Store protective clothing separately.
- Avoid contact with the eyes.
- Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.
- Respiratory protection
- In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use self-contained respiratory protective device.
