3 Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up Stop leak if safe to do so and contain spill. Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. 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 dust. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. 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 moisture and direct sunlight. Keep away from bases. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Control Parameters - Exposure Standards (Safe Work Australia) Engineering Controls Iodine: TWA: 0.1ppm Peak limitation /1 mg/m 3 Peak limitation STEL: - ppm / - mg/m 3 Upon decomposition or heating, iodine vapor is released which is highly toxic. Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of dusts below occupational exposure standards. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Respiratory Protection Eye/Face Protection Skin Protection Thermal Hazards If the ventilation is not adequate, wear a suitable dust respirator. See Australian Standards AS/NZS 1715 and 1716 for more information. Safety glasses with top and side shields or goggles. See Australian Standards AS/NZS 1336 and 1337 for more information. Chemical resistant protective gloves, protective clothing, apron and boots. See Australian Standards AS/NZS 2161, and for more information. 9.

5 Toxicity (STOT) - Repeated Exposure Aspiration Hazard Chronic Health Effects Existing Conditions Aggravated by Exposure This material is not an aspiration hazard. Chronic ingestion of iodides during pregnancy has resulted in fetal death, severe goiter, and cretinoid appearance of the newborn. Chronic exposure can lead to iodism characterized by salivation, nasal discharge, sneezing, conjunctivitis, fever, laryngitis, bronchitis, stomatitis, and skin rashes. May cause reproductive and fetal effects. 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Ecotoxicity Persistence and Degradability Bio-accumulative Potential Mobility in Soil 13.
