control and security.
For Non-Emergency Personnel
Protective Equipment: Use appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE).
Emergency Procedures: Evacuate unnecessary personnel.
For Emergency Personnel
Protective Equipment: Use appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE).
Emergency Procedures: Ventilate area.
Environmental Precautions
Prevent entry to sewers and public waters.
Methods and Material for Containment and Cleaning Up
For Containment: Contain any spills with dikes as necessary to prevent migration and entry into sewers or streams. Do
not take up in combustible material such as: saw dust or cellulosic material.
Methods for Cleaning Up: Collect spillage for possible reuse. Clean up spills immediately and dispose of waste in
accordance with appropriate State, Federal and local regulations.
Reference to Other Sections
