sparking or explosion-proof means to transfer material to a sealable, appropriate
container for disposal. For large spills, dike spilled material or otherwise contain material
to ensure runoff does not reach a waterway. Place spilled material in an appropriate
container for disposal.
Section 7. Handling and storage
: Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Keep container closed. Use
Handling
only with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Keep away from heat,
sparks and flame. To avoid fire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by
grounding and bonding containers and equipment before transferring material. Use
explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment. Wash
thoroughly after handling.
: Store in a segregated and approved area. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
Storage
Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Avoid all possible sources
of ignition (spark or flame).
Section 8. Exposure controls, personal protection
: Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the
