2 Special protective equipment for fire-fighters Fire fighting equipment/instructions Hazardous combustion General fire hazards Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing should be worn when fighting chemical fires. Selection of respiratory protection for firefighting: follow the general fire precautions indicated in the workplace. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. In the event of fire, cool tanks with water spray. Ammonia. Nitrogen Oxides. Phosphorus oxides. The product is non-combustible. During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Containment procedures Personal precautions Environmental precautions Methods for cleaning up 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling Storage 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Occupational exposure limits US. ACGIH Threshold Limit s Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. Collect and dispose of spillage as indicated in section 13 of the SDS. Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes. Ensure adequate ventilation. Wear suitable protective clothing. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not contaminate water. Do not allow to enter drains, sewers or watercourses. Collect spill using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter. Flush area with plenty of water. Avoid generation and spreading of dust. Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes. Use with adequate ventilation. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Keep container tightly closed. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Store away from incompatible materials. TWA 3 mg/m3 Respirable particles. 10 mg/m3 Inhalable particles. Egypt. OELs. Threshold limits of air pollutants in the workplace (Decree No. 388, Annex 8) TWA 3 mg/m3 Inhalable dust. 10 mg/m3 Total dust. South Africa. Recommended Exposure Limits (RELs) Regulations for Hazardous Chemical Substances, Table 2 TWA 5 mg/m3 Respirable dust. 10 mg/m3 Total dust. Biological limit values No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s). Recommended monitoring procedures Additional exposure data Engineering measures Provide adequate general and local exhaust ventilation. Observe occupational exposure limits and minimise the risk of inhalation of dust. Personal protective equipment Respiratory protection If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not been established), an approved respirator must be worn. Wear air supplied respiratory protection if exposure concentrations are unknown. In case of inadequate ventilation or risk of inhalation of dust, use suitable respiratory equipment with particle filter. Hand protection Eye protection Skin and body protection General Hygiene measures Risk of contact: Wear protective gloves. Suitable gloves can be recommended by the glove supplier. Risk of contact: Wear dust goggles. No skin protection is ordinarily required under normal conditions of use. In accordance with good industrial hygiene practices, precautions should be taken to avoid skin contact. Personal protective equipment should be chosen according to the CEN standards and in discussion with the supplier of the personal protective equipment. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices Version #: 01 Revision date: - Issue date: 04-November / 5
