In case of a spill, use personal protective equipment, keep people away from and upwind of the spill/leak, and contain spills immediately with inert materials such as sand or earth. Transfer liquids and solid diking material to separate, suitable containers for recovery or disposal. Be aware that the material can create slippery conditions. Also, prevent spills and cleaning runoff from entering municipal sewers and open bodies of water. [1] [1] [1]
If there is a fire, keep people away and isolate the fire. Contain fire water run-off if possible. Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suits. If protective equipment is not available, fight the fire from a protected location or a safe distance. [1] [1]
For First Aid measures: -Inhalation: Move person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing; consult a physician. -Skin contact: Wash off with plenty of water. A suitable emergency safety shower facility should be available in the work area. -Eye contact: Flush eyes thoroughly with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses after the initial 1-2 minutes and continue flushing for several additional minutes. Consult a physician, preferably an ophthalmologist, if effects occur. -Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. No emergency medical treatment necessary. [2] [2] [2] [2]
