Fire-fighting measures <br /> Hazardous thermal Decomposition products may include the following materials: <br /> decomposition products carbon dioxide <br /> carbon monoxide <br /> sulfur oxides <br /> phosphorus oxides <br /> metal oxide/oxides <br /> hydrogen sulfide <br /> Special protective Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing <br /> equipment for fire-fighters apparatus(SCBA)with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode. <br /> 16 . Accidental release measures <br /> Personal precautions No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. <br /> Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from <br /> entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Do not breathe vapor or mist. <br /> Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is <br /> inadequate. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment(see section 8). <br /> Environmental precautions Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains <br /> and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental <br /> pollution(sewers,waterways, soil or air). <br /> Methods for cleaning up <br /> Spill or leak Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute with water and mop up <br /> if water-soluble or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste <br /> disposal container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. <br /> 17 . Handling and storage <br /> Handling Put on appropriate personal protective equipment(see section 8). Eating, drinking and <br /> smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and <br /> processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. <br /> Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Do not ingest. <br /> Use only with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is <br /> inadequate. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a <br /> compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Keep away from acids. Empty <br /> containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container. <br /> Storage Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from <br /> direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials <br /> and food and drink. Separate from acids. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until <br /> ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept <br /> upright to prevent leakage. Store above 0°C. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use <br /> appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination. <br /> 8 . Exposure controls/personal protection <br /> Product name Exposure limits <br /> sodium hydroxide ACGIH TLV(United States). <br /> CEIL:2 mg/m' <br /> Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits. <br /> Recommended monitoring If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal,workplace atmosphere <br /> procedures or biological monitoring may be required to determine the effectiveness of the ventilation <br /> or other control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory protective equipment. <br /> Engineering measures Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate dust,fumes, gas,vapor <br /> or mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls <br /> to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory <br /> limits. <br />
