Information for Physician: Treat symptoms, monitor for late developing systemic effects
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Flood with water spray, avoid using dry chemicals or carbon dioxide in large fires
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Never use combustible materials as extinguishing agents
Special Hazards: Releases oxygen that can intensify fire, may generate toxic fumes of sodium oxide and bromine compounds
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, use full protective gear
Firefighting Instructions: Move containers away from fire if possible, cool containers with water mist, keep upwind
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, avoid breathing dust or vapors, remove ignition sources
Protective Equipment: Use chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, masks, and protective clothing
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spills from entering drains, sewers, or waterways, alert environmental authorities if large spill occurs
Cleanup Methods: Sweep up carefully, avoid generating dust, collect in a dry container for proper disposal, ventilate area, use damp materials if helpful, wash spill site after cleanup is complete
Handling: Keep away from combustible or reducing materials, minimize dust formation, handle in a ventilated area, do not eat, drink, or smoke in work area, wash hands after use
Storage: Store in a tightly sealed container made of compatible material, keep container in a cool, dry place, separate from organics, reducing agents, acids, and combustibles, post proper hazard signage, use secure secondary containers if feasible
