6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Material may be slippery when spilt. Walk cautiously. Ventilate area. Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contact, as outlined under personal protection in this MSDS.
Environmental precautions
Bund area using sand or soil - to prevent run off into drains and waterways.
Methods and materials for containment and clean up
Use absorbent (soil, sand, vermiculite or other inert material). Collect and seal in properly labeled containers for disposal. Remainder of material can be washed to drain with plenty of water.

Conditions for safe storage
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Standards
Engineering controls
Maintain adequate ventilation at all times. In most circumstances natural ventilation systems are adequate unless the material is heated, reacted or otherwise changed in some type of chemical reaction, then the use of a local exhaust ventilation system is recommended.
Personal protective equipment
Eye and face protection
Chemical goggles or face shield to protect eyes.
Skin protection
PVC or natural rubber.
Body protection
PVC or natural rubber apron or splash suit.
Respiratory protection
Avoid breathing of vapours/gases. Select and use respirators in accordance with AS/NZS 1715/1716. The use of a P1 dust mask (disposable) or with replaceable filters is recommended. Filter capacity and respirator type depends on exposure levels and type of contaminant. If entering spaces where the airborne concentration of a contaminant is unknown then the use of a Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with positive pressure air supply complying with AS/NZS 1715 / 1716, or any other acceptable International Standard is recommended.
