Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air immediately, keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing, seek medical attention if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, gently wash skin with plenty of water and cleanser for a minimum of 20 minutes, do not rub or scrub, medical evaluation recommended
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes, use fingers to keep eyelids apart, remove contact lenses if present and continue rinsing, consult physician if irritation continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, drink water if conscious, obtain medical attention

Protective Equipment for Fire Fighters: Full protective clothing, self-contained breathing apparatus recommended
Special Procedures: Move containers from fire area if can be done without risk, avoid inhalation of fumes, keep adjacent containers cool by spraying with water
Personal Precautions: Evacuate all non-essential personnel, ventilate area, wear gloves, goggles, and suitable respirator
Emergency Procedures: Keep away from ignition sources or heat, avoid dust generation
Methods for Containment and Cleanup: Contain spilled material with inert absorbent (sand, earth), collect in container for disposal, wash contaminated surface with soap and water, dispose according to regulations
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements, or confined areas, notify local authorities in case of large spill
Precautions for Safe Handling: Wear personal protective equipment, avoid dust formation, provide local exhaust ventilation, wash hands thoroughly after handling, always keep container tightly closed when not in use
