Special protective equipment and precautions for fire fighters
May form a flammable dust cloud on mixing with air in the presence of a source of ignition. May form an explosive dust cloud on mixing with air in the presence of a source of ignition. In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mod. No special measures required.
6. Accidental Release Measures
- Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
- Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Clean-up personnel may require protection from dust. Use personal protective equipment
- Environmental precautions
- Not available.
- Methods and materials for containment and clean up
- SPILLS: Sweep up, mixing with sand or other inert material. DO NOT FLUSH AWAY RESIDUE WITH WATER! Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation
7. Handling and Storage
- Precautions for safe handling
- Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash clothing before reuse.
- Conditions for safe storage
- Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Isolate from ignition sources.
8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Exposure Standards
- Engineering controls
- Facilities storing or utilising this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and safety shower. Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low. A local exhaust system which captures the contaminant at its source is recommended to prevent dispersion of the contaminant into the workroom air.
Personal protective equipment
- Eye and face protection
- Use chemical safety goggles. Contact lenses should not be worn when working with this material. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
- Skin protection
- Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
- Body protection
- Wear appropriate protective clothing
- Respiratory protection
- For conditions of use where exposure to the dust is (NIOSH Approved) apparent, a dust/mist respirator may be worn. For emergencies, a self-contained breathing apparatus may be necessary.
