6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill or Leak Procedure
If airborne dust is generated, use an appropriate niosh approved respirator. Clean up using methods which avoid dust
generation such as vacuuming (with a vacuum that has an appropriate filter to prevent airborne dust levels which exceed
the pel or tlv). Wet dust mop or wet clean-up is preferred to reduce dusting.
7 HANDLING & STORAGE
Handling
Maintain good house keeping procedures to prevent accumulation of dust. Use clean-up methods which minimize dust
generation such as vacuuming with an approved vacuum or wet clean-up. If airborne dust is generated use an appropriate
niosh approved respirator.
Storage
Store away from mineral acids, strong oxidizers and flammable materials. Use an approved respirator if exposure to dust
could occur. Gloves are recommended when skin contact is likely.
Ventilation
Local exhaust to meet the tlv and pel is recommended to minimize airborne dust exposure.
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Eye Protection: Personal Protection Equipments (PPE)
Safety glasses or goggles are recommended.
Skin Protection: Personal Protection Equipments (PPE)
Gloves of a non-pervious type are recommended when contact is likely.
Respiratory Protection: Personal Protection Equipments (PPE)
Use an approved niosh dust mask or equivalent if airborne dust concentration exceeds the pel or tlv. All requirements set
forth in 29 cfr 1910.134 should be met.
General
Protective clothing such as aprons, coveralls, etc., should be used and washed regularly. Do not shake to remove dust.
Periodic medical examinations are recommended for individuals regularly exposed to dust.
