Personal precautions, : Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep people away from and upwind of
protective equipment and spill/leak. Avoid inhalation, ingestion and contact with skin and eyes.
emergency procedures When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they
must use appropriate certified respirators. Ensure clean-up is
conducted by trained personnel only. Refer to protective measures
listed in sections 7 and 8.

Environmental precautions : Do not allow contact with soil, surface or ground water.

Methods and materials for : Stop leak if safe to do so. Contain spillage, and then collect with non-
containment and cleaning up combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous
earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to
local / national regulations (see section 13). For large spills, dike
spilled material or otherwise contain material to ensure runoff does not
reach a waterway.
