Firefighting Advice: Avoid inhaling fumes; contain contaminated water; keep containers cool with water spray
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel; wear chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and respirator where vapors are excessive
Environmental Precautions: Prevent runoff into soil, streams, and drains
Methods for Clean-up: Contain spill; use absorbent material such as sand or vermiculite; shovel up and dispose in approved chemical waste containers; ventilate area
Decontamination: Wash spill area with water and detergent
Safe Handling of Waste: Avoid direct contact; keep waste separate from incompatible materials
Precautions for Safe Handling: Store in tightly closed containers; keep away from open flames, sparks, or sources of static discharge; use proper grounding/bonding
Advice on General Occupational Hygiene: No eating, drinking, or smoking in areas with open containers; wash exposed skin before breaks and at end of work
