SECTION IV-FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: 190 0C (dust clouds) 2200C (Non-dispersed dust)
LEL: 35 gm/m3 UEL: 1400 gm/m3
Flammable Limits:
Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: Dust suspended in air is readily ignited by flame,
static electricity, or friction spark. Every reasonable step must be taken to minimize dust
formation. Dust tight casings should be equipped with explosion relief vents. Sparkless
electrical equipment is recommended. Handling equipment must be grounded or bonded
to avoid static electricity. Keep away from sources of flame or sparks. Detailed
recommendations in Manufacturing Chemists Association SD-74 and National Safety
Council 612 Bulletins covering 鈥淪ulphur鈥? should be followed when handling this product.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Because burning sulphur creates sulphur dioxide,
breathing apparatus or gas masks approved for use in acid-gas atmosphere should be
used. Fumes from unprotected sulphur fires shall be avoided, if possible, by approaching
from the upwind side.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Hoses and extinguishers with pressure streams should be
avoided where solid sulphur is dusty or where it may create a further hazard by raising
more dust clouds.
Fire Fighting Equipment: A fine water spray or fog is recommended
CO2 or dry chemical
Small fires may be smothered with sand or solid sulphur

SECTION VII -EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: None
Ventilation: Provide general or local exhaust ventilation systems to maintain airborne
concentrations below OSHA PELs (Sec.2). Local exhaust ventilation is preferred
because it prevents contaminant dispersion into the work area by controlling it at its
source.
Respiratory Protection: Seek professional advice prior to respirator selection and
use, and, if necessary, wear a MSHA/NIOSH-approved respirator. Select respirator
based on its suitability to provide adequate worker protection for given working
conditions, level of airborne contamination, and presence of sufficient oxygen.
Protective Clothing/Equipment: Wear protective gloves, boots, and aprons to
prevent prolonged or repeated skin contact. Wear protective eyeglasses or chemical
safety glasses. Contact lenses are not eye protection devices. Appropriate eye
protection must be worn, or in conjunction with contact lenses.
Safety Stations: Make emergency eyewash stations, and washing facilities available
in work area.
Small Spills: Sweep up and try to keep dust to a minimum.
Large Spills: Sweep up and try to keep dust to a minimum.
Containment: Do not release into sewers or waterways.
Handling Precautions: None
