ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures Environmental Precautions Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up Wear Safe Work Australia approved self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Evacuate all non-essential personnel from affected area. Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not breathe vapour. In the event of a major spill, prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses. Stop leak if safe to do so and contain spill. Absorb using an inert absorbent such as sand, clay, earth or vermiculite and transfer to containers for disposal. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for Safe Handling Conditions for Safe Storage Use of safe work practices are recommended to avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation of vapours. Food, beverages and tobacco products should not be stored or consumed where this material is in use. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storage or re-use. Provide eyewash fountains and safety showers in close proximity to points of potential exposure. Store in a tightly closed original container in a cool, dry, and well ventilated area. Protect from air, moisture and direct sunlight. Keep away from bases. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Control Parameters - Exposure Standards (Safe Work Australia) Engineering Controls No exposure standards set. Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of dusts below occupational exposure standards.
