6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Observe all relevant local and international regulations.
: Avoid contact with spilled or released material. Immediately
Protective measures
remove all contaminated clothing. For guidance on selection of
personal protective equipment see Chapter 8 of this Material
Safety Data Sheet. For guidance on disposal of spilled material
see Chapter 13 of this Material Safety Data Sheet. Shut off
leaks, if possible without personal risks. Remove all possible
sources of ignition in the surrounding area. Use appropriate
containment to avoid environmental contamination. Prevent
from spreading or entering drains, ditches or rivers by using
sand, earth, or other appropriate barriers. Attempt to disperse
the vapour or to direct its flow to a safe location for example by
using fog sprays. Take precautionary measures against static
discharge. Ensure electrical continuity by bonding and
grounding (earthing) all equipment. Monitor area with
combustible gas indicator.
: For small liquid spills (< 1 drum), transfer by mechanical means
Clean Up Methods
to a labelled, sealable container for product recovery or safe
disposal. Allow residues to evaporate or soak up with an
appropriate absorbent material and dispose of safely. Remove
contaminated soil and dispose of safely.
For large liquid spills (> 1 drum), transfer by mechanical means
such as vacuum truck to a salvage tank for recovery or safe
disposal. Do not flush away residues with water. Retain as
contaminated waste. Allow residues to evaporate or soak up
with an appropriate absorbent material and dispose of safely.
Remove contaminated soil and dispose of safely.
: See Chapter 13 for information on disposal. Notify authorities if
Additional Advice
any exposure to the general public or the environment occurs
or is likely to occur. U.S. regulations may require reporting
releases of this material to the environment which exceed the
reportable quantity (refer to Chapter 15) to the National
Response Centre at (800) 424-8802. Under Section 311 of the
Clean Water Act (CWA) this material is considered an oil. As
such, spills into surface waters must be reported to the
National Response Centre at (800) 424-8802. This material is
covered by EPA's Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) Petroleum
Exclusion. Therefore, releases to the environment may not be
reportable under CERCLA.

ventilated areas. Wash thoroughly after handling. For
guidance on selection of personal protective equipment see
Chapter 8 of this Material Safety Data Sheet. Use the
information in this data sheet as input to a risk assessment of
local circumstances to help determine appropriate controls for
safe handling, storage and disposal of this material.
: Extinguish any naked flames. Do Not smoke. Remove ignition

sources. Avoid sparks. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and
clothing. Electrostatic charges may be generated during
pumping. Electrostatic discharge may cause fire. Ensure
electrical continuity by bonding and grounding (earthing) all
equipment. Restrict line velocity during pumping in order to
avoid generation of electrostatic discharge (<= 1 m/sec until fill
pipe submerged to twice its diameter, then <= 7 m/sec). Avoid
splash filling. Do NOT use compressed air for filling,
discharging, or handling operations.
: Must be stored in a diked (bunded) area. Bulk storage tanks
