Stop the flow of gas or liquid. Wear full protective clothing and self <br />contained breathing apparatus. Use water to protect men effecting the shut-off. Approach from upwind. <br />Dike liquid spills to contain liquid. Evacuate the area immediately. Eliminate all open flames in vicinity of <br />indoor spills or released vapor. Water fog can be used to cleanse atmosphere of ammonia vapor. Downwin <br />areas can be protected by water fog nozzles positioned downwind. <br />Handling and Storing Precautions: <br />Protect against physical damage. Outside shaded area or detached storage is preferred. Inside storage shou <br />be in a cool, dry, well- ventilated, noncombustible location, away from all possible sources of ignition. <br />Separate from other chemicals, particularly oxidizing gases, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and acids. Avoid <br />ingestion, inhalation, and contact with skin or eyes. <br />Chemical Data Management Systems 16 <br />MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET <br />SECTION VIII - CONTROL MEASURES <br />Respiratory Protection: <br />Unless ventilation is adequate to keep airborne concentrations below the exposure standard wear <br />approved respiratory protection such as an ammonia canister mask or an approved air supplied respirator. <br />Canister or cartridge type masks must not be used above their exposure limits. Use self-contained breathint <br />apparatus (SCBA) in an area where the exposure level is above the limit of canister or cartridge type masks <br />In an emergency use only self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) to enter areas of ammonia exposure. <br />Ventilation: <br />Local exhaust is essential. Spark -proof fans desirable with mechanical ventilation. Ducts should be locatec <br />at ceiling level and lead upwards to the outside. <br />Protective Clothing: <br />Rubber or synthetic chemical gloves and boots; cotton clothing and underwear. Rubber or synthetic chemic <br />coats or aprons should be available an encapsulating chemical protective clothing garment is desirable for <br />heavy exposures. <br />Eye Protection: <br />Gas-tight chemical safety goggles must be worn if there is a likelihood of exposure. Persons subject to <br />ammonia exposure must not wear contact lenses. <br />Other Protective Clothing or Equipment - <br />Eyewash fountain. and safety shower should be available in work area. The use of long sleeved clothing <br />
