Note to Physician: Treat symptomatically, monitor vital signs, possible delayed pulmonary edema
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Direct water jet can spread the fire
Special Hazards: Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air, combustion yields toxic gases including nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective gear
Fire Fighting Instructions: Approach from upwind, remove containers from fire zone if safe, cool tanks with water spray, avoid inhaling fumes
Additional Hazards: Containers may explode when heated due to pressure build-up
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, keep unauthorized personnel away, ventilate area, use chemical goggles, protective gloves, chemical-resistant clothing, use approved respirator
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into sewers, drains, watercourses, soil
Cleanup Methods: Absorb spills with sand, earth, or non-combustible absorbent, place in chemical waste container, clean area with detergent and water, ventilate
Other Considerations: Notify authorities if large releases enter environment, decontaminate equipment after cleanup, dispose materials following local regulations
Handling: Use only in well-ventilated areas, avoid inhalation, prevent contact with eyes and skin, keep away from open flames, hot surfaces, and sparks, ground and bond containers during transfer, avoid creating aerosols, don’t eat, drink, or smoke while handling
Storage: Keep tightly closed in original container, store in cool, dry, fireproof area, protect from sunlight and moisture, segregate from oxidizers, acids, and incompatible chemicals, ensure access to emergency shower and eye wash station
Exposure Limits: No established OSHA, ACGIH, or NIOSH values for 3-Methylpiperidine, handle as a hazardous chemical
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, chemical fume hood, explosion-proof equipment, eye wash and safety shower in work area
Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator for organic vapor/mist if exposure exceeds limits
Eye Protection: Chemical goggles or face shield
Hand Protection: Impermeable gloves of nitrile or butyl rubber
Skin Protection: Chemical-resistant clothing, apron, boots
