Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions: Consider need for evacuation. Avoid inhalation of vapors and contact with skin and eyes. Wear
suitable protective clothing, gloves, and eye protection. Wear self-containing breathing apparatus, rubber boots, and heavy
rubber gloves. Place contaminated material in a chemical waste container.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent dispersion of material. Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the
ground. Inform authorities if large amounts are involved.
Clean-up Methods: Absorb spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material. Collect and dispose of spillage as indicated
in Section 13, Disposal information. Contact safety officer if questions arise and ventilate area.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Handling: Avoid inhalation of vapors and contact with skin and eyes. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Do
not taste or swallow. Protect against physical damage. Ensure good ventilation / exhaustion and do not breathe vapor.
Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure. Do not use if skin is cut or scratched.
Storage: Keep container tightly closed in a well-ventilated place. Store in closed original container in a dry place. Keep
away from heat, sparks, flame and incompatible materials.
Other Precautions: Keep respiratory protective device available.
Section 8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Components with limit values that require monitoring: Bromine (7726-95-6)
Chemical Name Source Type Exposure Limits
Bromine US ACGIH TLV TWA 0.1 ppm
Bromine US ACGIH TLV STEL 0.2 ppm
Bromine US NIOSH Guide IDLH 3 ppm
Bromine US OSHA Z-1 PEL TWA 0.1 ppm, 0.7 mg/m3
Engineering Controls: Provide adequate ventilation. Observe occupational exposure limits and minimize the risk of
inhalation of vapors and mist.
Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection must be used if air contamination exceeds acceptable level. If engineering
controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an
acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not been established), an approved respirator must be worn. In
the US, if respirators are used a program should be instituted to assure compliance with OSHA Standard 63 FR 1152,
January 8, 1998. Use a NIOSH-approved respirator (See 29 CRF 1910.134, respiratory protection standard). Respirator
type: Air-purifying respirator with an appropriate, government approved (where applicable), air-purifying filter, cartridge or
canister. Contact health and safety professional or manufacturer for specific information.
Personal Protective Equipment: Personal Protection listed below are general requirements for laboratory personnel.
Follow the usual precautionary measures for handling chemicals / powder. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
Proper ventilation required. Safety shower and eye bath required.
Keep away from food, beverages, and feed.
Wash hands before and after entering laboratory.
Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing.
Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
Breathing Equipment: In case of brief exposure, use a chemical fume hood or a NIOSH / MSHA-approved respiratory.
Hand Protection: Use chemical resistant gloves. Be aware that the liquid may penetrate gloves.
Eye Protection: Wear approved safety goggles.
Body Protection: Wear lab coat or other protective work clothing.
Environmental Exposure Controls: Environmental manage must be informed of all major spillages.
