Section 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, Use personal protective equipment. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.
protective equipment and Ensure adequate ventilation. Entry to non-involved personnel should be controlled
emergency procedures: around the leakage area by roping off, etc.
Environmental precautions: Prevent product from entering drains.
Methods and materials for Absorb spilled material in a suitable absorbent (e.g. rag, dry sand, earth, saw-dust).
containment and cleaning In case of large amount of spillage, contain a spill by bunding. Adhered or collected
up: material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with appropriate laws and
regulations.
Prevention of secondary Remove all sources of ignition. Fire-extinguishing devices should be prepared in
hazards: case of a fire. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment.
Section 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling
Technical measures: Handling is performed in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective equipment.
Prevent generation of vapour or mist. Keep away from flames and hot surfaces. Take
measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge. Use explosion-proof
equipment. Wash hands and face thoroughly after handling.
Use a closed system, ventilation.
Advice on safe handling: Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
Confirm in advance if peroxides exist when operations involving heating such as
distillation are carried out.
