Protective Equipment and Precautions: Full protective suit, self-contained breathing apparatus, avoid inhalation of combustion products, keep containers cool by spraying with water from a safe distance
Firefighting Procedures: Approach from upwind to avoid hazardous fumes, contain run-off to prevent entry into drains or water sources

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Protection: Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, coveralls, and dust mask or respirator; prevent skin or eye exposure, avoid inhaling dust; notify supervisory personnel of emergency
Spill Response: Contain spillage with inert absorbent materials, clean up using non-sparking tools and sweep or vacuum only with HEPA filtration, prevent formation of airborne dust, collect in labeled containers for disposal; ventilate spill area thoroughly
Environmental Precautions: Block entry to surface water, soil or drains, notify local environmental authorities as required, monitor air for particulate matter in contained spaces
Reference to Other Sections: Refer to Section on Disposal and PPE for additional instructions

Handling and Storage

Safe Handling Recommendations: Wear appropriate PPE, handle in well-ventilated environment, avoid generating dust, wash hands and exposed skin before eating or drinking, minimize direct contact and prevent cross-contamination
Storage Requirements: Store in a cool, dry place in tightly sealed original packaging; keep away from incompatible materials like strong oxidizing agents and acids; ensure container is labeled securely; segregate from food and feed
Technical Measures: Use closed processes or ventilation to reduce exposure, maintain area cleanliness, routine checks on storage integrity

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No specific occupational exposure limit established; recommended threshold based on particulates not otherwise classified (PNOC): 10 mg/m3 (total), 3 mg/m3 (respirable)
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, process enclosure, dust collection, room air renewal
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene, butyl rubber), safety goggles with side shields, face shield for large-scale handling, lab coat or coveralls, closed-toe shoes, disposable mask or P100 respirator when airborne particles are possible
