Hazchem Code: •3Z Special protective equipment and precautions for fire-fighters: In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing. Keep containers cool by spraying with water if exposed to fire. Collect contaminated extinguishing water separately. Do not allow contaminated water to reach sewage or effluent systems. Dispose of fire debris and contaminated extinguishing water in accordance with official regulations.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Emergency procedures/ Environmental precautions: Clear area of all unprotected personnel. If contamination of sewers or waterways has occurred advise local emergency services. Prevent the product or spilled material from entering water bodies. Absorb spilled material with inert material and place in sealable waste container labelled for disposal. Wash down affected area with water and detergent. Absorb and collect washings and place in sealable waste container. Dispose of the container in an approved landfill or under at least 50 cm of soil in a non-crop, non-pasture area away from water sources and homes. Personal precautions/ Protective equipment: Slippery when spilt. Avoid accidents, clean up immediately. Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contact and breathing in vapours. Work up wind or increase ventilation. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Contain - prevent run off into drains and waterways. Procedure for spill: (1) Keep all bystanders away (2) Wear full length clothing and PVC gloves (3) Reposition any leaking containers so as to minimise leakage (4) Sweep spilt material into a pile (5) Shovel into drums (6) Disposal of material will depend upon the extent of the spill: • For quantities up to 50 kg of product bury in a secure landfill site. • For quantities greater than 50 kg seek advice from the manufacturer (use emergency contact number below) before attempting disposal. Contain in a secure location until disposal method is established. (7) Decontaminate spill area with detergent and water and rinse with the smallest volume of water practicable.
