| 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
IN CASE OF SPILL OR LEAK:
ELIMINATE ALL IGNITION SOURCES. EVACUATE AREA OF ALL UNNECESSARY
PERSONNEL. USE HALOGEN LEAK DETECTOR OR OTHER SUITABLE MEANS TO LOCATE
LEAKS OR CHECK ATMOSPHERE. PREVENT FURTHER LEAKAGE OR SPILLAGE IF YOU CAN
DO SO WITHOUT RISK. KEEP UPWIND. EVACUATE ENCLOSED SPACES AND DISPERSE GAS
WITH FLOOR-LEVEL FORCED-AIR VENTILATION. AVOID DISPERSAL OF LEAKED
MATERIAL. CONSULT A REGULATORY SPECIALIST TO DETERMINE APPROPRIATE STATE
OR LOCAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS, FOR ASSISTANCE IN WASTE CHARACTERIZATION
AND/OR HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS LISTED IN PERTINENT
ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITS.
| 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
HANDLING:

TIME WEIGHTED AVERAGE (TWA): 1,000 PPM (3,400 MG/M3)
REMARKS: LISTED
ONLY THOSE COMPONENTS WITH EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE PRINTED IN THIS SECTION.
LIMITS WITH SKIN CONTACT DESIGNATION ABOVE HAVE SKIN CONTACT EFFECT. AIR
SAMPLING ALONE IS INSUFFICIENT TO ACCURATELY QUANTITATE EXPOSURE. MEASURES
TO PREVENT SIGNIFICANT CUTANEOUS ABSORPTION MAY BE REQUIRED. LIMITS WITH A
SENSITIZER DESIGNATION ABOVE MEAN THAT EXPOSURE TO THIS MATERIAL MAY CAUSE
ALLERGIC REACTIONS.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
INVESTIGATE ENGINEERING TECHNIQUES TO REDUCE EXPOSURES BELOW AIRBORNE
EXPOSURE LIMITS OR TO OTHERWISE REDUCE EXPOSURES. PROVIDE VENTILATION IF
NECESSARY TO MINIMIZE EXPOSURES OR TO CONTROL EXPOSURE LEVELS TO BELOW
AIRBORNE EXPOSURE LIMITS (IF APPLICABLE SEE ABOVE). IF PRACTICAL, USE
LOCAL MECHANICAL EXHAUST VENTILATION AT SOURCES OF AIR CONTAMINATION SUCH
AS OPEN PROCESS EQUIPMENT.
MONITOR CARBON MONOXIDE AND OXYGEN LEVELS IN TANKS AND ENCLOSED SPACES.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
AVOID BREATHING GAS. WHERE AIRBORNE EXPOSURE IS LIKELY OR AIRBORNE
EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE EXCEEDED (IF APPLICABLE, SEE ABOVE), USE NIOSH
APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION EQUIPMENT APPROPRIATE TO THE MATERIAL
AND/OR ITS COMPONENTS (FULL FACEPIECE RECOMMENDED). CONSULT RESPIRATOR
MANUFACTURER TO DETERMINE APPROPRIATE TYPE EQUIPMENT FOR A GIVEN
APPLICATION. OBSERVE RESPIRATOR USE LIMITATIONS SPECIFIED BY NIOSH OR
THE MANUFACTURER. FOR EMERGENCY AND OTHER CONDITIONS WHERE THERE MAY
BE A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT EXPOSURE OR WHERE EXPOSURE LIMIT MAY BE
SIGNIFICANTLY EXCEEDED, USE AN APPROVED FULL FACE POSITIVE-PRESSURE,
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS OR POSITIVE-PRESSURE AIRLINE WITH
AUXILIARY SELF-CONTAINED AIR SUPPLY. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION PROGRAMS MUST
COMPLY WITH 29 CFR SUBSECTION 1910.134.
SKIN PROTECTION:
WEAR APPROPRIATE CHEMICAL RESISTANT PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND CHEMICAL
RESISTANT GLOVES TO PREVENT SKIN CONTACT. CONSULT GLOVE MANUFACTURER TO
DETERMINE APPROPRIATE TYPE GLOVE MATERIAL FOR GIVEN APPLICATION. RINSE
IMMEDIATELY IF SKIN IS CONTAMINATED. WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND CLEAN
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT BEFORE REUSE. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING.
EYE PROTECTION: USE GOOD INDUSTRIAL PRACTICE TO AVOID EYE CONTACT.
