LA (MSDS: 731678) Page 4 of 10 4 provide a urine sample at the end of the shift for measurement of urine phenol. l a. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flammable Properties: Flash Point:-49'FI-45°C OSHA Flammability Class: Flammable Liquid L LEL%: 1.4/UEL%: 7.6 Autoignition Temperature: 833°F1444°C Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards: This material is extremely flammable and can be ignited by heat, sparks, flames, or other sources of ignition (e.g.,static electricity, pilot lights, mechanical/electrical equipment, and electronic devices such as cell phones, computers, calculators, and pagers which have not been certified as intrinsically safe). Vapors may travel considerable distances to a source of ignition where they can ignite,flash back, or explode. May create vapor/air explosion hazard indoors, in confined spaces, outdoors, or in sewers. �+ Vapors are heavier than air and can accumulate in low areas. If container is not properly cooled, it can rupture in the heat of a fire. Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical,carbon dioxide, or foam is recommended. Water spray is recommended to LA cool or protect exposed materials or structures. Carbon dioxide can displace oxygen. Use caution when applying carbon dioxide in confined spaces. Water may be ineffective for extinguishment, unless used under favorable conditions by experienced,fire fighters. w. Fire Fighting Instructions: For fires beyond the incipient stage, emergency responders in the immediate hazard area should wear bunker gear. When the potential chemical hazard is unknown, in enclosed or confined spaces, or when explicitly required by DOT, a self contained breathing apparatus should be worn. In addition,wear other appropriate protective equipment as conditions warrant(see Section 8). Isolate immediate hazard area, keep unauthorized personnel out. Stop spill/release if it can be done with minimal risk. Move undamaged containers from immediate hazard area if it can be done with minimal risk. Water spray may be useful in minimizing or dispersing vapors and to protect personnel. Cool equipment exposed to fire with water, if it can be done with minimal risk. Avoid spreading burning liquid with water used for cooling purposes. v 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Extremely flammable_ Keep all sources of ignition and hot metal surfaces away from spill/release. The use of explosion-proof equipment is recommended. Stay upwind and away from spill/release. Notify persons down wind of the spill/release, isolate immediate hazard area and keep unauthorized personnel out. Stop spilllrelease if it can be done with minimal risk. Wear appropriate protective equipment including respiratory protection as conditions warrant(see Section 8). Prevent spilled material from entering sewers, storm drains, other unauthorized drainage systems, and natural ,. waterways. Dike far ahead of spill for later recovery or disposal. Use foam on spills to minimize vapors (see • Section 5). Spilled material may be absorbed into an appropriate absorbent material. Notify fire authorities and appropriate federal,state, and local agencies, Immediate cleanup of any spill is i+ recommended. If spill of any amount is made into or upon navigable waters,the contiguous zone, or adjoining shorelines, notify the National Response Center(phone number 800-424-8802). ,i 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling:Open container slowly to relieve any pressure. Bond and ground all equipment when transferring from one vessel to another. Can accumulate static charge by flow or agitation. Can be ignited �+ by static discharge. The use of explosion-proof equipment is recommended and may be required (see appropriate fire codes). Refer to NFPA-704 and/or API RP 2003 for specific bonding/grounding requirements.
