Skin protection:
If repeated or prolonged contact: Wear chemical resistant gloves
Respiratory protection:
If airborne exposure is excessive: Wear respirator
When recommended, consult manufacturer of personal protective equipment for the appropriate type of equipment for a given application
Warn everybody of irritant/corrosive hazard. Keep all non-essential people away from affected area.
Consult an expert immediately.
Environmental precautions:
SMALL QUANTITIES: Low environmental hazard
LARGE QUANTITIES: Minimise spread
Notify authorities
Methods for cleaning up:
SMALL QUANTITIES: Flush spill area with water
LARGE QUANTITIES: Dig up heavily contaminated soil. Collect in containers for disposal. Refer to setion 'Handling and storage' for types of containers. Wash spill area with detergent and water. Minimise use of water to prevent environmental contamination.
