Firefighting Procedures: Use water spray to cool containers exposed to fire, avoid inhaling fumes, evacuate area if necessary
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Dust may form explosive mixtures with air; containers may rupture if heated

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, respirator if dust present, lab coat
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry to waterways, drains, or soil, inform authorities if significant spill threatens environment
Cleanup Methods: Scoop up solid; use inert absorbent for solutions; clean area with detergent and water; minimize dust formation
Waste Disposal: Place collected material in labeled container for disposal per local regulations
Decontamination: Wash hands after clean-up, ventilate area thoroughly, check for residual contamination

Handling and Storage

Safe Handling: Avoid contact with eyes, skin, clothing; prevent inhalation of dust; handle in chemical fume hood; use spark-proof tools

Special Storage Requirements: Protect from light and moisture, label storage area as “Toxic Chemical”, restrict access to trained personnel
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, oxidizers, bases; reactives that could cause hazardous decomposition
Handling Practices: Conduct regular inspections for leaks or damage, maintain material inventory for traceability

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific OSHA, ACGIH, NIOSH limits; minimize exposure by engineering controls
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, fume hood, HEPA filtration if dust is generated
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemically resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), splash-proof safety glasses or goggles, lab coat or protective overall, NIOSH approved respirator for particulates
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and face after handling, do not eat/drink/smoke during work, change contaminated clothing immediately
