Section 5. Fire-fighting measures

Special protective actions
for fire-fighters

Special protective
equipment for fire-fighters

: Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable
training. Contact supplier immediately for specialist advice. Move containers from fire
area if this can be done without risk. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers
cool. If involved in fire, shut off flow immediately if it can be done without risk. If this is
impossible, withdraw from area and allow fire to burn. Fight fire from protected location
or maximum possible distance. Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so.
: Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.

Section 6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency
personnel

: Accidental releases pose a serious fire or explosion hazard. No action shall be taken
involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas.
Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Shut off all ignition
sources. No flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Do not breathe gas. Provide
adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put
on appropriate personal protective equipment.
For emergency responders : If specialised clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of any information
in Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable materials. See also the information in "For nonemergency personnel".
Environmental precautions

: Ensure emergency procedures to deal with accidental gas releases are in place to avoid
contamination of the environment. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has
caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). Water polluting
material. May be harmful to the environment if released in large quantities. Collect
spillage.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Small spill
Large spill

: Immediately contact emergency personnel. Stop leak if without risk. Use spark-proof
tools and explosion-proof equipment.
: Immediately contact emergency personnel. Stop leak if without risk. Use spark-proof
tools and explosion-proof equipment. Note: see Section 1 for emergency contact
information and Section 13 for waste disposal.

Section 7. Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling
Protective measures

: Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Contains gas under
pressure. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not breathe gas. Avoid release
to the environment. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator
when ventilation is inadequate. Do not enter storage areas and confined spaces unless
adequately ventilated. Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame or any other
ignition source. Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material
handling) equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Empty containers retain product
residue and can be hazardous. Do not puncture or incinerate container. Use
equipment rated for cylinder pressure. Close valve after each use and when empty.
Protect cylinders from physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide, or drop. Use a suitable
hand truck for cylinder movement.

Advice on general
occupational hygiene

: Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is
handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating,
drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before
entering eating areas. See also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene
measures.

Conditions for safe storage,
including any
incompatibilities

: Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and approved area.
Store away from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from
incompatible materials (see Section 10). Store locked up. Eliminate all ignition sources.
Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Cylinders should be stored

Appropriate engineering
controls

Environmental exposure
controls

: Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or
other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any
recommended or statutory limits. The engineering controls also need to keep gas,
vapor or dust concentrations below any lower explosive limits. Use explosion-proof
ventilation equipment.
: Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some
cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment
will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.

Individual protection measures

Hygiene measures

Eye/face protection

: Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before
eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.
Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.
Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety
showers are close to the workstation location.
: Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk
assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists,
gases or dusts. If contact is possible, the following protection should be worn, unless
the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: safety glasses with sideshields.

Other skin protection

Respiratory protection

: Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be

worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is
necessary. Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check
during use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It should be
noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may be different for different
glove manufacturers. In the case of mixtures, consisting of several substances, the
protection time of the gloves cannot be accurately estimated.
: Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being
performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before
handling this product. When there is a risk of ignition from static electricity, wear antistatic protective clothing. For the greatest protection from static discharges, clothing
should include anti-static overalls, boots and gloves.
: Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should be selected
based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a
specialist before handling this product.
: Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved
standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be
based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe
working limits of the selected respirator.
