Specific Hazards: Combustion creates carbon oxides and irritating fumes
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective clothing
Special Procedures: Keep containers cool with water spray to prevent rupture; avoid inhaling combustion gases
Personal Precautions: Avoid dust formation, use protective gear (gloves, goggles, mask)
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from seepage into drains or watercourses
Containment: Sweep up material carefully, avoid generating dust
Cleanup Methods: Place in suitable labeled containers for disposal
Ventilation: Ensure area is well-ventilated during cleanup
Handling: Perform transfers in well-ventilated space, avoid contact with skin and eyes, minimize dust generation
Storage: Store in tightly sealed original containers, keep in cool, dry, and well-ventilated locations
Segregation: Keep away from oxidizers and reducing agents
Hygiene: Wash hands thoroughly after handling, do not eat or drink in work areas
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established regulatory limit; minimize airborne concentration
