4. First Aid Measures

HOT PRODUCT: Immediately flush the area with large amounts of cool water. Do
not attempt to remove material from the skin or to remove contaminated clothing.
Seek immediate medical attention
Skin Contact COOL PRODUCT: Wash the skin with plenty of soap and water. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes and place into a container for laundering or
disposal – clean contaminated clothing before reuse. If skin is reddened or blistered,
seek medical attention.
HOT PRODUCT: Hold the eyelids apart and flush with cool water for at least 15
minutes. SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. Hot Product may cause
Eye Contact
thermal burns to eyes
COOL PRODUCT: Flush with cold water or saline solution. Seek medical attention
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION
Ingestion HOT PRODUCT: May cause thermal burns in the mouth, throat and esophagus
COOL PRODUCT: May cause irritation in the mouth, throat and esophagus
Move the person to fresh air and monitor for respiratory distress
NOT BREATHING: Begin rescue breathing and SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL
Inhalation ATTENTION.
NOTE: Inhalation exposure of fumes of hot product can produce toxic effects. Treat
intoxications as hydrogen sulfide exposures.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

Extinguishing Media Dry chemical foam, carbon dioxide or water fog
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, oxides of sulfur and/or
nitrogen, unburned hydrocarbons and smoke fumes. At
Hazardous Combustion Products
elevated temperatures hydrogen sulfide and other sulfur
containing gases may be produced.
Asphalt emulsions normally will not ignite. Asphalt residues will
burn if heated. At elevated temperatures asphalt emulsions may
Special Properties separate to form a layer of asphalt and a layer of water. Fire in
the vicinity of storage tanks may cause a boiling liquid-
expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE).

6. Accidental Release Measures

Wash hands and other exposed skin areas with soap and water
before eating, drinking, smoking, using toilet facilities or leaving
Personal Precautions the work area. Use only cleaning soaps/agents approved for
human use – do not use gasoline, kerosene, solvents or harsh
abrasives
GENERAL: Minimum PPE recommended is safety glasses,
work gloves and work shoes.
EYE: Safety glasses for small spills, Goggles or face shield for
large spills. A suitable eyewash station should be located in the
vicinity of the work area.
HAND: Standard work gloves recommended. Nitrile, neoprene
Personal Protective Equipment
or butyl gloves recommended for repeated or prolonged use.
(PPE)
RESPIRATORY: With adequate ventilation a respirator is
usually not required. In those cases where exposure exceeds
the occupational control limits a NIOSH/MSA approved air
purifying particulate respirator suitable for dusts, fumes and
mists is recommended. Respirators should be used in
accordance with 29 CFR 1910.134.
Absorb or cover with earth, sand or other inert non-combustible
Small Spills absorbent material. Scrape up and place into containers for
disposal.
Immediately contact emergency personnel. In all cases stop the
source of leak only when it is safe to do so.
LAND: Contain the spill with dikes of earth or sand. Do not
allow to enter waterways or sewer. Recover as much liquid as
possible for re-use/reclamation. Scrape up residual product and
Large Spills
diking material and either reclaim or dispose of.
WATER: The emulsion will slowly begin to disperse in water.
Contain as much as possible with booms and begin recovery as
soon as possible. Notify local and state authorities and the
National Response Center if required.

7. Handling and Storage

HOT PRODUCT: Avoid breathing fumes or vapors – hydrogen
sulfide can accumulate in bulk transport or storage tanks. Wear
appropriate PPE to avoid skin, face and eye contact, especially
when opening hatches or vents, since the bulk transporter or
Handling
tank may be pressurized.
COOL PRODUCT: Avoid breathing fumes or vapors. Wear
appropriate PPE when opening hatches or vents in case
pressure has built up in the bulk transporter or storage tank.
HEATING: Avoid overheating product -- temperature >200oF
(93oC). Keep heating coils and flues in storage tanks and trucks
covered with material when heating.
Storage COLD WEATHER: Protect product from freezing.
GENERAL: Empty containers will contain product residues. Do
not cut, grind, weld or expose containers to potential ignition
sources unless precautions are taken against these hazards.
