Skin Protection:
is recommended. Gloves may be decontaminated by washing with soap and water.
Other Protective Clothing
Impervious protective clothing and chemically resistant footwear should be worn to
And Equipment:
minimize contact.
F. SPILL, LEAK AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURES
Evacuate area.
Shut off ignition sources.
Only properly trained personnel should respond to spills or leaks.
Wear protective equipment and/or garments as specified in Section E.
When entry must be made into an area where the concentration is unknown, use NIOSH/MSHA approved self
contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective equipment as described in Section E.
Absorb spilled liquid onto inert material and transfer into disposal drums.
Large spills should be removed using a vacuum truck.
Wash spill area with water and foam (AFFF) and absorb onto inert material and transfer into disposal drums.
Spills on areas other than pavement, e.g., dirt, sand, etc., may be handled by removing the affected soils and placing
in approved containers.
