Precautions in connection with Fire
Fire fighters should wear full protective clothing and self- contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) operated in positive pressure
mode. Fight fire from safe location.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Emergency Procedures
Increase ventilation. Evacuate all unprotected personnel. Wear sufficient respiratory protection and full protective clothing to
prevent exposure. Sweep up material avoiding dust generation or dampen spilled material with water to avoid airborne dust, then
transfer material to a suitable container. Wash surfaces well with soap and water. Seal all wastes in labelled containers for
subsequent recycling or disposal. Dispose of waste according to the applicable local and national regulations. If contamination of
sewers or waterways occurs inform the local water and waste management authorities in accordance with local regulations.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for Safe Handling
Avoid inhalation of dust, and skin or eye contact. Use only in a well ventilated area. Keep containers sealed when not in use.
Prevent the build up of dust in the work atmosphere. Maintain high standards of personal hygiene i. e. Washing hands prior to
eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet facilities.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight and moisture. Store in suitable, labelled containers. Keep containers
tightly closed. Store away from incompatible materials. Ensure that storage conditions comply with applicable local and national
regulations.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Occupational exposure limit values
No exposure standards have been established for the mixture. However, over- exposure to some chemicals may result in
enhancement of pre-existing adverse medical conditions and/or allergic reactions and should be kept to the least possible levels.
Biological Limit Values
No biological limits allocated.
Appropriate Engineering Controls
This substance is hazardous and should be used with a local exhaust ventilation system, drawing solid/dust away from workers’
breathing zone. If the engineering controls are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of particulates below the exposure
standards, suitable respiratory protection must be worn.
Respiratory Protection
If engineering controls are not effective in controlling airborne exposure then an approved respirator with a replaceable dust/
particulate filter should be used. Refer to relevant regulations for further information concerning respiratory protective
requirements.
Reference should be made to Australian Standards AS/ NZS 1715, Selection, Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective
Devices; and AS/NZS 1716, Respiratory Protective Devices, in order to make any necessary changes for individual circumstances.
Eye Protection
Safety glasses with side shields, chemical goggles or full-face shield as appropriate should be used. Final choice of appropriate eye/
face protection will vary according to individual circumstances. Eye protection devices should conform to relevant regulations.
Eye protection should conform with Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1337 – Eye Protectors for Industrial Applications.
Hand Protection
Wear gloves of impervious material. Final choice of appropriate gloves will vary according to individual circumstances. i.e. methods
of handling or according to risk assessments undertaken. Occupational protective gloves should conform to relevant regulations.
Reference should be made to AS/NZS 2161.1: Occupational protective gloves – Selection, use and maintenance.
Page 4 / 7
Body Protection
Suitable protective workwear, e. g. cotton overalls buttoned at neck and wrist is recommended. Chemical resistant apron is
recommended where large quantities are handled.
Other Information
No exposure standards have been established for this material, however, the TWA exposure standards for dust not otherwise
specified is 10 mg/m³. As with all chemicals, exposure should be kept to the lowest possible levels. TWA (Time Weighted Average):
The average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal eight-hour working day, for a five-day
week. Source: Safe Work Australia
