Suitable Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, foam, or water spray
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Direct high-pressure water stream may disperse powders
Specific Hazards: Combustion produces carbon oxides and other potentially irritating gases
Protective Equipment: Wear full firefighting gear and self-contained breathing apparatus in closed spaces
Advice for Firefighters: Keep containers cool with water mist, avoid inhaling smoke or dust, control runoff
Personal Precautions: Avoid dust generation, ventilate area, use proper personal protective equipment
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains or water courses
Clean-up Methods: Collect spilled material using damp cloth or vacuum fitted with HEPA filter, place in suitable container for disposal
Small Spills: Wipe or mop up with compatible absorbent
Large Spills: Scoop into secure, labeled containers and manage as chemical waste
Handling: Use in well-ventilated areas, avoid breathing dust, wear protective eyewear and gloves, keep away from food and drinks
Storage Requirements: Store tightly sealed in cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, strong oxidizers, or sources of ignition
Container Compatibility: Use non-reactive, well-labeled packaging
Special Precautions: Keep container upright and tightly closed, handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene practices
Engineering Controls: Provide local exhaust ventilation where dust can form
Exposure Limits: No specific occupational limits established for Breviscapine
Respiratory Protection: Wear NIOSH-approved particulate respirator if workplace dust exceeds nuisance levels
Skin Protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves (e.g. nitrile, latex), laboratory coat or appropriate garment
Eye Protection: Safety glasses with side shields or chemical goggles
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before breaks, after handling, and at end of work
