Spill Response: Sweep or vacuum up to minimize dust, transfer to labeled waste container
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, surface water, or soil in excessive quantities
Cleanup Methods: Wet methods or HEPA-filtered vacuum recommended to avoid airborne dust
Safe Handling Practices: Use local exhaust ventilation, handle in well-ventilated area, minimize dust formation
Handling: Avoid breathing dust, wash hands after handling, do not eat or drink while working
Storage Conditions: Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place, away from strong acids and oxidizers
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizing agents, acidic substances
Special Packaging Requirements: Use containers with secure closures, properly labeled
Occupational Exposure Limit: Manganese: OSHA TWA 5 mg/m3 (as Mn), ACGIH TLV 0.02 mg/m3 (respirable)
Engineering Controls: General dilution ventilation; local exhaust at points of dust generation
Personal Protection: Safety goggles, lab gloves, dust mask or NIOSH-approved respirator if airborne dust exceeds limits
