SECTION VIII: PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
Personal protective equipment: Eyes: chemical safety glasses with side shields or splash proof goggles. An emergency eye
wash must be readily accessible to the work area. Skin: minimize contact through use of gloves and suitable long-sleeved
clothing. Consideration must be given to both durability and permeation resistance. Respiratory: When respirators are required,
select NIOSH/MSHA approved equipment based 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 devices 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 cartridges / canister approved for use
against organic vapors.
Specific engineering controls: Where engineering controls are indicated by use conditions or a potential for excessive exposure
exists, the following traditional exposure control techniques may be used to effectively minimize employee exposures: general
area dilution/exhaust ventilation.
Procedures for leak/spills: Absorb with an inert absorbent. Sweep up and place in an appropriate closed container. Clean up
residual material by washing area with water. Collect washings for disposal. Do not flush to drain.
Waste disposal: Waste management options should first consider possible re-use or recycling opportunities. Some provinces
have active "Waste Exchange" networks for re-use and recycling of wastes. Contact your local waste management companies to
explore available optins. All waste management activities must obey local, provincial and federal regulations. Possible disposal
methods include the following:
incinerate directly or in combination with a flammable solvent.
Handling procedures and equipment: Avoid breathing vapors and mists. Avoid direct or prolonged contact with skin and eyes.
A hot water bath may be used to melt solidified material. Avoid localized overheating. Vent drums while heating. Mix
thoroughly to assure homogeneity. Ethylene oxide may collect in container head space. Although concentrations are expected to
remain below established exposure limits, provide adequate ventilation when accessing or working with open containers and
tanks.
Storage requirements: Store in tightly closed containers. Store in an area that is dry, well-ventilated, away from incompatible
materials.
