Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, ventilate area, wear gloves, goggles, protective suit
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into waterways, drains or soil
Containment: Dike spill for later disposal, absorb with inert material (sand, earth)
Clean-Up Procedures: Collect with non-sparking tools, place in closed containers for proper disposal, wash area after material pickup
Notification: Report spills to local authorities if required by regulations
Handling: Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing; avoid inhalation of vapors or mists; do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling; use non-sparking tools and explosion-proof equipment
Storage: Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area; keep away from ignition sources, direct sunlight, acids, oxidizers; store at temperatures below 40°C
Special Requirements: Ground/bond containers during transfer, use only approved containers, have emergency eyewash and shower stations nearby
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, halogenated compounds
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific OELs for this compound; exposure should be minimized as for primary morpholine (ACGIH TLV: 20 ppm)
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, maintain adequate ventilation at processing areas
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), safety goggles or face shield, flame-resistant clothing, impervious apron, appropriate footwear
