: No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. 

Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from 

entering. Do not touch or walk through spilt material. Provide adequate ventilation. 

Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put on appropriate 

personal protective equipment (see section 8). 

: 

: 

: 

Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains 

and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental 

pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). 

Move containers from spill area. Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a 

designated, labelled waste container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal 

contractor. 

Wash thoroughly after handling. 

Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from 

direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible 

materials (see section 10) and food and drink. Keep container tightly closed and 

sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully 

resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabelled containers. 

Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination. 

: Use original container.

Hygiene measures : 

: 

: 

: 

: 

If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal, workplace 

atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to determine the effectiveness 

of the ventilation or other control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory 

protective equipment. Reference should be made to European Standard EN 689 for 

methods for the assessment of exposure by inhalation to chemical agents and 

national guidance documents for methods for the determination of hazardous 

substances. 

: No special ventilation requirements. Good general ventilation should be sufficient to 

control worker exposure to airborne contaminants. If this product contains ingredients 

with exposure limits, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other 

engineering controls to keep worker exposure below any recommended or statutory 

limits. 

Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before 

eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. 

Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. 

Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety 

showers are close to the workstation location. 

Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved 

standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must 

be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the 

safe working limits of the selected respirator. 

Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should 

be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates 

this is necessary. 

Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk 

assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists, 

gases or dusts. 

Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task 

being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before 

handling this product. 

: Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure 

they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some 

cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment 

will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
