Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear full protective suit and self-contained breathing apparatus, avoid inhaling combustion products
Fire/Explosion Hazards: Dust can form explosive mixtures in air, cool exposed containers with water spray
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, wear protective gloves, goggles, and dust mask, avoid creating or inhaling dust
Environmental Precautions: Prevent release into drains, surface water, or soil, notify authorities if contamination occurs
Methods for Clean-Up: Sweep up with care to avoid dust, place in labeled waste containers, ventilate area and wash spill site after pickup is complete
Handling: Avoid contact with skin and eyes, minimize dust formation, use in well-ventilated areas, wear appropriate PPE
Storage: Store in tightly closed container, in a cool dry place away from sunlight and incompatible substances, keep out of reach of children
Control Parameters: No established occupational exposure limits for Levosalbutamol tartrate, use standard pharmaceutical laboratory controls
Engineering Controls: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure guidelines
