SECTION VIII: PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
Personal protective equipment: All equipment should be NIOSH approved. Chemical resistant protective clothing must be
worn at all times when handling product. Wash thoroughly or dispose of any contaminated clothing. Chemical goggles must be
worn at all times when handling product. If there is a possibility of splashing, wear protective face shield. If vapours irritate
eyes, wear full face respirator.
Specific engineering controls: Local exhaust ventilation is recommended for controlled products. The use of mechanical
ventilation is recommended whenever this product is used in a confined space or when air circulation is inadequate. If product is
flammable/combustible, all equipment should be explosion proof.
Procedures for leak/spills: Remove all sources of ignition. Contain spill. Absorb material on appropriate non-flammable
absorbent and shovel into compatible salvage containers. Avoid all bodily contact. Appropriate breathing apparatus must be
worn in ventilation is inadequate. Do not allow product to enter sewers or stormwater inlets.
Waste disposal: It is the responsibility of the user of this product to determine at the time of disposal whether this product meets
the criteria for hazardous waste. This is because product uses, processes, mixtures, etc., may render a non-hazardous material
hazardous, or a hazardous material non-hazardous. Empty container retains product residue. Containers must be rinsed before
disposal or reuse. Observe all hazard precautions. Keep away from heat, sparks and flames. Do not weld or use a cutting torch
on or near container. Do not distribute, make available, furnish or reuse empty container except for storage and shipment of
original product. Remove all hazardous product residue and puncture or otherwise destroy empty container before disposal.
Handling procedures and equipment: Avoid inhalation of vapours/mists. Do not get on skin, in eyes or on clothing. Keep
container closed when not in use. Wear suitable protection for eyes and skin when handling. Use with adequate ventilation.
Avoid contact with incompatible materials. Store in cool, dry, well ventilated area away from sources of heat, ignition, and
sparks. Use proper grounding techniques if product is classified as flammable or combustible. Eye wash and safety showers
should be easily accessible and in proper operating order.
Storage requirements: Store in cool, dry, well ventilated area away from sources of heat, ignition, and sparks. Use proper
grounding techniques if product is classified as flammable or combustible. Eye wash and safety showers should be easily
accessible and in proper operating order.
Special shipping information: Storage and Handling Precautions. Refer to Fire and Explosion Hazard for data on
flammability/combustibility of product. Do not ship with foodstuffs, feed or clothing.
