<br /> this type of exposure occur,the aspiration hazard must be considered.Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by a physician.To
<br /> prevent aspiration by spontaneous vomiting,keep the victim's head low(between his or her knees).Get medical help(in plant,para-
<br /> medic,community)for all exposures.Seek prompt medical assistance forfurther treatment,observation,and support after first aid.note
<br /> to Physician: Professional judgment is required as to whether or not to induce vomiting because of the possibility of aspiration.A gastric
<br /> lavage may be administerot,followed by saline catharsis,if this procedure is appropriate to the specific inciuent.Monitor cardiac and
<br /> pulmonary functions.
<br /> SECTION':7.,'..SPILL, LEAK, AND DISPOSAL ••PROCEDURES
<br /> Spill/Leak: Notify safety personnel,evacuate unnecessary personnel,eliminate all sources of ignition immediatcly,and provide adequate
<br /> explosion-proof ventilation.Cleanup personnel need protection against skin or eye contact w?tti this liquid as well as inhalation of its vapor
<br /> (see Sect.8).Contain large spills and collect waste or absorb it with an inert material such a:sand,earth,or vermiculite.Use nonsparking
<br /> tools to place waste liquid or absorbent into closable containers for disposal.Keep waste out of sewers,watersheds,and waterways.IV=e
<br /> Disposul: Contact your supplier or a licensed contractor for derailed recommendations.Follow Federal,state,and local regulations.
<br /> OSHA Designations
<br /> Listed as an Air Contaminant(29 CFR 1910.1000 Subpart 2).
<br /> EP.4(Designations(40 CFA 302.4)
<br /> CERCLA Hazardous Substance,Reportable Quantity:10DO lbs(454 kg),per the Clean Water Act(CWA),ff 311(b)(d)and 307(a).
<br /> SECTION . 8: SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
<br /> Goggles: Always wear protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles. Where splashing is possible,wear a full face shield.Follow
<br /> OSHA eye-and face-protection regulations(29 CFR 1910.133).Respirator: Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator per(senium reference 88
<br /> for the maximum-use concentrations and/or the exposure limits cited in section 2.Follow OSHA respirator regulations(29 CFR 1910.134).
<br /> For emergency or nonroutine operations(spills or cleaning reactor vessels and storage tanks),wear an SOBA.Warning- Air-purifying
<br /> respirators will not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.Other: Wear impervious gloves,boots,aprons,and gauntlets,etc.,to
<br /> prevent prolonged or repeated skin contact with this material.Ventilation: Install and operate general and local maximum,explosion-proof
<br /> ventilation systems powerful enough to maintain airborne levels of this material below the OSHA PEL standard cited in section 2.Local
<br /> exhaust ventilation is preferred because it prevents dispersion of the contaminant into the general work area by eliminating it rt.its source.
<br /> Consult the latest edition of Geoium reference 103 for detailed recommendations.Safety Stations: Make emergency eyewash stations,
<br /> safety/quick-drench showers,and washing facilities available in work areas.Contaminated Equipment: Contact lenses pose a special
<br /> hazard;soft lenses may absorb irritants,and all lenses concentrate them.Do nor wear contact lenses in any work area.Remove contami-
<br /> nated clothing and launder it before wearing it again;clean this material from shoes and equipment Comments: Practice good personal
<br /> hygiene;always wash thoroughly after using this material and before eating,drinking,smoking,using the toilet,or applying cosmetics.

<br /> eat,drink,or smoke in any work area.Do not inhale ethyl benzene vapor.
<br /> SECTION 9. ..SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS AND COMMENTS
<br /> Storage/Segregation: Story ethyl benzene in closed containers in a cool,dry,well-ventilated area away from sources of ignition and
<br /> strong oxidizers.Protect containers from physical damage.Special Handling/Storage: Outside,isolated,detached,or remote storage is
<br /> recommended for large quantities of ethyl benzene Isolate bulk storage areas from acute fire hazards.Engineering Controls: Make sure
<br /> all engineering systcros(production,+.ransportation)are of maximum explosion-proof design.To prevent static sparks,electrically ground
<br /> and bond all containers,pipelines,etc.,used in shipping,transferring,reacting,production,and sampling operations.Otl.er: Use safety
<br /> cans for transferring small amounts of ethyl benzene.
