Special protective equipment and precautions for fire fighters
Dusts at sufficient concentrations can form explosive mixtures with air. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Special Hazards Arising: Carbon & Nitrogen oxides. As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear.
6. Accidental Release Measures
- Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
- Use proper PPE as indicated in Section 8.
- Environmental precautions
- Avoid generating dusty conditions. Remove all sources of ignition. Provide ventilation.
- Methods and materials for containment and clean up
- Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment Section,
7. Handling and Storage
- Precautions for safe handling
- Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
- Conditions for safe storage
- Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep containers tightly closed.
8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Exposure Standards
- Engineering controls
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep containers tightly closed.
