5 FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Iron SAFETY DATA SHEET

Extinguishing Media: Use suitable extinguishing media for surrounding material and type of fire. Use Class D or
other metal extinguishing agent for fires involving fines, dusts or very thin foils.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use water in fighting fires involving iron fines, dusts or very thin foils.
Do not use water in fighting fires around molten metal.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Material: This product does not present fire or explosion hazards as shipped.
Small chips, fine turnings and dust from processing may be readily ignitable. May emit metal oxide fumes under
fire conditions.
Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters: Full face, self-contained breathing apparatus
and full protective clothing when necessary.

6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES


Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment, and Emergency Procedures: Wear appropriate respiratory and
protective equipment specified in section 8. Isolate spill area and provide ventilation. Avoid breathing dust or fume.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Eliminate all sources of ignition.
Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up: Avoid dust formation. Sweep or scoop up. Place in
a closed container for further handling and disposal. Scrap can be collected for recycling.
Environmental Precautions: Do not allow to enter drains or to be released to the environment.

7 HANDLING AND STORAGE


Precautions for Safe Handling: Avoid creating dust. Avoid breathing dust or fumes. Provide adequate ventilation
if dusts are created. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wash thoroughly before eating or smoking. See section 8 for
information on personal protection equipment.
Conditions for Safe Storage: Store in a sealed container. Store in a cool, dry area. Protect from moisture. See
section 10 for more information on incompatible materials.

8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION


Exposure Limits: Iron
OSHA/PEL: No exposure limit established

Engineering Controls: Ensure adequate ventilation to maintain exposures below occupational limits. Whenever
possible the use of local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls is the preferred method of controlling
exposure to airborne dust and fume to meet established occupational exposure limits. Use good housekeeping and
sanitation practices. Do not use tobacco or food in work area. Wash thoroughly before eating or smoking. Do not
blow dust off clothing or skin with compressed air.
Respiratory Protection: If permissible levels are exceeded, use NIOSH approved dust respirator.
Eye Protection: Safety glasses
Skin Protection: Not normally needed. Wear impermeable gloves, protective work clothing as necessary.
