SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Evacuation Procedures and Safety: Wear appropriate gear for the situation. See
General and Disposal
Personal Protection information in Section 8. Eliminate all sources of ignitions
until the area is determined to be free from explosion of fire hazards.
Cleanup and Disposal of Spill: Pump any free liquid into an appropriate closed
container. Recover material, if possible. Absorb with vermiculite or other inert
absorbent. Shovel up into an appropriate closed container (see Section 7:
Handling and Storage). Decontaminate tools and equipment following cleanup.

Environmental and Regulatory Reporting: Prevent material from entering public
sewer system or any waterway. If spilled on the ground, the affected area should
be removed to a depth of one or two inches and placed in an appropriate
container for disposal.

excessive exposure exists, the following traditional exposure control techniques
may be used to effectively minimize employee exposures: Local exhaust
ventilation at the point of generation.
Eye contact should be prevented through use of chemical safety glasses with

side shields or splash proof goggles.
Chemical resistant headgear for overhead exposure.
An emergency eye wash must be readily accessible to the work area.
Chemical-resistant gloves (barrier laminate, butyl rubber, nitrile rubber or Viton)
Hand Protection
Coveralls over long sleeved shirt and long pants.
Body Protection
Chemical resistant apron when cleaning equipment, mixing or loading.
Chemical resistance footwear plus socks.
When respirators are required, select NIOSH/MSHA approved equipment based
Respiratory Protection
on actual or potential airborne concentrations and in accordance with the
appropriate regulatory standards and/or industrial recommendations.
Under normal conditions, in the absence of other airborne contaminants, the
following should provide protection from this material up to the conditions
specified by the appropriate OSHA, WHMIS or ANSI standard(s): Air-purifying
(half-mask/full-face) respirator with cartridge/canister approved for use against
pesticides.
Under conditions immediately dangerous to life or health, or emergency
conditions with unknown concentrations, use a full-face positive pressure air-
supplied respirator equipped with an emergency escape air supply unit or use a
self-contained breathing apparatus unit.
Discard clothing and other absorbent materials that have been drenched or
