Preventive measures
Always wear recommended personal protective equipment. Where
contact with liquid is likely, such as in a spill or leak, impervious boots
and clothing should be worn.
Provide local ventilation at filling zones and areas where leakage is
probable. Mechanical (general) ventilation may be adequate for other
operating and storage areas. Equip the installation site with any gas
alarms and/or gas protection required by local rules and regulations.
SKIN PROTECTION: General work clothing and gloves (leather)
should provide adequate protection. If prolonged contact with liquid
or gas is anticipated, insulated gloves constructed of PVA, neoprene
or butyl rubber should be used. Any contaminated clothing should be
promptly removed and washed before reuse.
EYE PROTECTION: or normal conditions, wear safety glasses.
Where there is reasonable probability of liquid contact, wear chemical
safety goggles.
Not a hazardous waste
