LEAST FIFTEEN MINUTES, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN CONTACT: FLUSH
IMMEDIATELY UNDER RUNNING WATER FOR AT LEAST FIFTEEN MINUTES. IF
SKIN IRRIT ATION OCCURS, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. INHALATION: MOVE
VICTIM TO FRESH AIR. GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION IF BREATHING HAS
STOPPED. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. INGESTION: IF

Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT . DO NOT FIGHT FIRES INVOLVING LEAD AZIDE! PRODUCT IS A
PRIMARY (INITIATING) EXPLOSIVE AND MAY DETONATE WHEN EXPOSED TO
HEAT OR FLAMES. ISOLAT E THE AFFECTED AREA AND EVACUATE ALL
PERSONNEL TO A DISTANT, SAFE AREA.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:LEAD AZIDE IS PRIMARY (INITIATING) EXPLO.
THIS PROD IS LIKELY TO DETONATE WHEN EXPOSED TO SHOCK, HEAT,
IMPACT, ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (SPARKS)/FRICTION. PROD SHOULD BE
HANDLED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIV IDUALS WHO ARE THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR
W/PROPER PRIMARY EXPLOSIVES HANDLING PROCS. HAZ GASES (LEAD VAP,
HYDRAZOIC (TOX INFO)
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:ISOLATE SPILL AREA, KEEP ALL SOURCES OF
IGNITION AWAY FROM SPILL, & EVACUATE ALL NON-ESSENTIAL PERS TO SAFE
DISTANT LOCATION. REMOVE ALL EXPLOSIVES THAT WERE NOT INVOLVED IN
SPILL FROM SPILL AREA. LEA D AZIDE IS EXTREMELY SENSITIVE
EXPLOSIVE. IT IS POSSIBLE TO STEP ON LEAD AZIDE & HAVE IT DETONATE.
DO NOT MOVE UNLESS THERE IS CLEAR PATH AWAY FROM SPILL AREA.
