5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire extinguishing media:
Specific danger/hazards:
Specific firefighting method:

Protection of the firefighters:- Small fire: Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, water- Large fire: Water, water spraying, normal foam extinguisher
There is a possible danger of generating irritating, poisonous or
corrosive gases at a some kind of fire.
- Remove the containers from the fire area, if it is not sodangerous.
- In the case of huge fire, use unmanned hose holder or monitor
nozzles for firefighting.
If such work is not possible, evacuate from the area and let thefire burned out.
During the firefighting work, wear air respirator and chemical
protective clothing.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Cautions for personnel:

Cautions to the environment:
Recovery:Prevention of secondary
disaster:

When dust is generated by polyvinyl chloride pipe cutting, wear
proper protective equipment to prevent exposure to eyes/skin andinhalation. (Refer to the description of “8. EXPOSURE
CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION.”)Be careful not to cause environmental effect by discharging to therivers and the like. Never discharge to the environment.
When dust is generated by cutting the polyvinyl chloride pipes,
sweep and recover them into a vacant container, and dispose ofthem later.
When dust is generated by cutting polyvinyl chloride pipes, wellclean the floor frequently to prevent occurrence of slippery floor
surface.

Cautions for safe
handling:

Avoid contact:
Storage (Cutting chips)
Engineering measures:
Storage conditions:- Take engineering measures described in the “8. EXPOSURE
CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION,” and wear protective
equipment.
- Local ventilation and general ventilation shall be done
according to the description of “8. EXPOSURE
CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION.”- Do not inhale or swallow.(Cutting chips)- Conduct exhaust ventilation to keep the concentration in air
equal to or lower than the exposure limit. (When dust isgenerated by cutting the pipes.)- Wash hands well, after handling.
- Use only outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
- Avoid discharge to the environment. (When dust is generatedby cutting.)- Refer to the description of “10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY.”
Keep fire away.
No specific engineering measure is necessary.

- Use personal respiratory equipment, if required.
- In the case of insufficient ventilation, wear proper respiratory
protective equipment. (When dust is generated by cutting thepipes.)
Wear personal hand protective equipment, if required.
Wear personal eye protective equipment, if required.
Wear personal protective clothing and protective face shield, ifrequired.
Wash hands well after handling.
