TYPES OF
HAZARD /
EXPOSURE
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS      PREVENTION      FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking. Powder, alcohol-resistant foam, water spray, carbon dioxide.
EXPLOSION   Prevent build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g., by grounding).  
 
EXPOSURE      
Inhalation   Local exhaust or breathing protection. Fresh air, rest.
Skin   Protective gloves. Protective clothing. Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes Redness. Safety spectacles First rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible).
Ingestion   Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Rinse mouth. Refer for medical attention.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL PACKAGING & LABELLING
Personal protection: P2 filter respirator for harmful particles. Collect leaking liquid in sealable containers. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment.  

EMERGENCY RESPONSE SAFE STORAGE
  Separated from food and feedstuffs.
