Containment: Control spill using inert absorbent material (vermiculite, sand, or earth), do not use combustible absorbents. Minimize dust formation.
Clean-Up Procedures: Sweep up carefully, place material in suitable closed container. Ventilate area and decontaminate surfaces with soap and water.
Decontamination: Residues can be neutralized using dilute alkaline solution (sodium bicarbonate) if compatible.
Disposal: Collect all waste material according to local, regional, or national regulations, typically for hazardous or special waste incineration.

Handling and Storage

Handling: Handle only in well-ventilated spaces, with personal protective equipment (lab gloves, goggles, long-sleeved lab coats). Avoid breathing dust, keep away from sparks, open flame, and electrostatic sources.
Storage: Store in tightly closed, corrosion-resistant containers, in a cool, dry, ventilated area, separated from incompatible substances such as strong oxidizers, alkalis, and acids. Keep container upright and out of direct sunlight.
Storage Conditions: Maintain at ambient temperature (<25 °C); avoid moisture ingress. Preferably store in secondary containment.
Special Requirements: Label all containers clearly, include hazard statements, emergency contact details, date of receipt and expiry if applicable.
Hygiene Measures: Wash thoroughly after handling, do not eat, drink, or smoke in storage/handling areas.

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits for this complex mixture, but handle as hazardous chemical; observe hardline precautions.
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation or lab fume hood to minimize airborne concentrations. Implement dust control measures at production or repacking sites.
Protective Equipment: Splash-resistant gloves (nitrile or butyl rubber), chemical splash goggles, face shield, laboratory coats or aprons, NIOSH-approved respirator (P100 or full-face air-purifying for powders).
Environmental Controls: Closed drainage, spill dikes, routine surface monitoring.
