Skin Contact
Remove contaminated clothing, shoes, etc. immediately.
Wash with soap or mild detergent and large amounts of water until no evidence of
chemical remains (at least 15-20 minutes).
If burns occur, proceed with the following:
Cover affected area securely with sterile, dry, loose-fitting dressing.
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Get medical attention immediately.

Eye contact:
Wash eyes immediately with large amounts of water, occasionally lifting upper and lower
lids, until no evidence of chemical remains (atleast 15-20 minutes).
Continue irrigating with normal saline until the pH has returned to normal (30-60 minutes).
Cover with sterile bandages.
Get medical attention immediately.

SECTION 5. Fire-Fighting Measures

Fire and Explosion Hazard:

Negligible fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame.

Oxidizer:
Oxidizers decompose, especially when heated, to yield oxygen or other gases which will
increase the burning rate of combustible matter. Contact with easily oxidizable, organic, or
other combustible materials may result in ignition, violent combustion or explosion.

Extinguishing Media:
Water only, no dry chemical, carbon dioxide or halon.
(1993 Emergency Response Guidebook, RSPA P 5800.6)
For larger fires, flood area with water from a distance.
(1993 Emergency Response Guidebook, RSPA P 5800.6).

Fire-fighting:
Move container from fire area if you can do it without risk.
Apply cooling water to sides of containers that are exposed to flames until well after fire is
out.
Stay away from ends of tanks.
For massive fire in cargo area, use unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles; if this is
impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn (1993 Emergency Response Guidebook,
RSPA P 5800.6, Guide Page 45).
Use water in flooding amounts as a fog.
Cool containers with flooding quantities of water, apply from as far a distances as possible.
Avoid breathing toxic vapors, keep upwind.

SECTION 6. Accidental Release Measures

Occupational Spill.
Keep combustibles(wood, paper, oil,etc.) Away from spilled material.
Do not touch spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk.
Use water spray to reduce vapors.
Do not get water inside container.
For small dry spills, with clean shovel place material into clean, dry container and cover.
Move containers from spill area.
For small liquid spills, flush area with flooding amounts of water.
For larger spills, dike far ahead of spill for later disposal. Keep unnecessary people away.
Isolate hazard area and deny entry.
