ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
______________________________________________________________________
GENERAL: This material should be prevented from contaminating
soil or from entering sewerage and drainage systems and
bodies of water. Isolate hazard area. Keep
unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering.
Prevent skin and eye contact. See section Exposure
Controls/Personal Protection.
SMALL SPILL: Absorb spill with inert material (e.g., dry sand or
earth), then place in a chemical waste container.
LARGE SPILL: Shut off leak, if safe to do so. Clean up spills
immediately, observing precautions in Protective
Equipment section. Contain spilled liquid with sand or
earth. Retain all contaminated water for removal and
treatment.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
A NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator as needed to
control exposure. Consult with respirator manufacturer to
determine respirator selection, use and limitations. Use a
positive pressure air-supplied respirator for uncontrolled
releases or when air purifying respirator limitations may be
exceeded. Follow respiratory protection program requirements
(OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI 788.2) for all respirator use.
EYE/FACE PROTECTION:
Use safety glasses. Where contact with the eyes is likely, use
chemical goggles. Use a face shield as needed.
SKIN PROTECTION:
Use impervious gloves. Use clean protective body covering
clothing as needed to minimize contact with clothing and skin.
