TYPES OF
HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE |
Not combustible but forms flammable gas on contact with water or damp air. Highly flammable when finely divided. Forms flammable gas on contact with water or damp air. Many reactions may cause fire or explosion.
|
NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking. NO contact with water and incompatible substances (see Chemical Dangers).
|
Special powder, dry sand, NO other agents. NO water.
|
| EXPLOSION |
Risk of fire and explosion on contact with water and incompatible substances (see Chemical Dangers).
|
|
In case of fire: cool drums, etc., by spraying with water but avoid contact of the substance with water.
|
 | |||
| EXPOSURE |
|
PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!
|
|
| Inhalation |
|
Avoid inhalation of fine dust and mist.
|
Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
|
| Skin |
|
Protective gloves.
|
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention.
|
| Eyes |
Redness. Pain.
|
Safety goggles.
|
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
|
| Ingestion |
|
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.
|
Refer for medical attention.
|
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING |
Remove all ignition sources. Sweep spilled substance into containers. Do NOT wash away into sewer. Carefully collect remainder, then remove to safe place. Do NOT absorb in saw-dust or other combustible absorbents (extra personal protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus).
