FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Extinguishing media Suitable Special exposure hazards Hazardous combustion products Special protective equipment for fire-fighters Personal precautions Environmental precautions Use dry chemical, CO2, water spray (fog) or foam. No specific fire or explosion hazard. Decomposition products may include the following materials carbon dioxide carbon monoxide Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Large spill Small spill 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Do not touch or walk through spilt material. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Use suitable protective equipment (section 8). Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see section 13). Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same hazard as the spilt product. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Absorb with an inert material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same hazard as the spilt product. Handling Storage materials Recommended Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not breathe vapour or mist. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep away from alkalis. Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep away from heat and direct sunlight. Separate from alkalis. Use original container. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Exposure limit values Ingredient name formic acid Occupational exposure limits EU OEL (Europe, 5/2006). Notes Indicative limit value 8 hours 9 mg/m³ 8 hours. limit value 8 hours 5 ppm 8 hours. Exposure controls Occupational exposure controls Hygiene measures Respiratory protection Hand protection Eye protection Skin protection Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas, vapour or mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Organic vapour (Type A) and acid gas (Type E) filter. Neoprene gloves. Nitrile gloves.
