Precautions to be taken when deviation from normal state<br />

In case <strong>of</strong> any leakage or spillage<br />

1. Try to stop the leak if possible.<br />

2. Clean the spill as soon as possible, no matter how small the chemicals are to be spilled.<br />

3. If the spilled liquid is a flammable liquid, the environment is immediately ventilated. If the<br />

spilled liquid vapor is irritating or toxic, a full face mask is used.<br />

4. Flammable - No sparking equipment is used when flammable and explosive liquids and dusts<br />

are cleaned. Eliminate all magmatic sources. No smoking.<br />

5. Clean the dust with a wet broom or vacuum.<br />

6. Small Spill: If the product is soluble in water, dilute with distilled water and clean by dipping.<br />

Alternatively, if not water-soluble, absorb debris with an inert, dry material and place in a<br />

suitable waste disposal container.<br />

7. Large Spill: Empty the area if the leak can not be stopped. Wash spilled material in a wastewater<br />

treatment plant or continue as follows;<br />

Collect spillage and absorb in sand, earth or other nonflammable material.<br />

Place wastes in labeled and stamped containers.<br />

Clean contaminated items and areas thoroughly, taking into account environmental<br />

regulations.<br />

Contaminated absorbent material may present similar hazards, such as in spilled<br />

material. Wash contaminated area with plenty <strong>of</strong> water.<br />

Once you have a crush, clean yourself up. <strong>Dangerous</strong> <strong>for</strong> the environment. Do not<br />

empty the sewer.<br />

Dispose <strong>of</strong> the wastes at a licensed waste disposal facility in accordance with local<br />

Waste Disposal Marines requirements.<br />

Unusual temperature arising above TS, any alarm or faulty cooling unit:<br />

<br />

<br />

If temperature is checked frequently, deviation will be noticed at an early stage and as a<br />

result there will be enough time <strong>for</strong> emergency precautions.<br />

Always call your emergency number.
