Section 6. Accidental release measures <br />Personal orecautions. orotective equipment and emergency orocedures <br />For non-emergency : No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. <br />personnel Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from <br />entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Shut off all ignition sources. <br />No flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Provide <br />adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put <br />on appropriate personal protective equipment. <br />For emergency responders : If specialized clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of any information in <br />Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable materials. See also the information in "For non- <br />emergency personnel". <br />Environmental precautions : Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains <br />and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental <br />pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). <br />Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up <br />Small spill : Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Use spark-proof tools and <br />explosion-proof equipment. Dilute with water and mop up if water-soluble. Alternatively, <br />or if water-insoluble, absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste <br />disposal container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. <br />Large spill : Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Use spark-proof tools and <br />explosion-proof equipment. Approach release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, <br />water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash spillages into an effluent treatment <br />plant or proceed as follows. Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible, <br />absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and place in <br />container for disposal according to local regulations (see Section 13). Dispose of via a <br />licensed waste disposal contractor. Contaminated absorbent material may pose the <br />same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see Section 1 for emergency contact <br />information and Section 13 for waste disposal. <br />Section 7. Handling and storage <br />Precautions for safe handling <br />Protective measures : Contains a formaldehyde-based resin which, under certain conditions of use, may <br />release formaldehyde. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section <br />8). Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all <br />safety precautions have been read and understood. Do not get in eyes or on skin or <br />clothing. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Do not ingest. Use only with adequate <br />ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Do not enter <br />storage areas and confined spaces unless adequately ventilated. Keep in the original <br />container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly <br />closed when not in use. Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame or any other <br />ignition source. Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material <br />handling) equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Take precautionary measures <br />against electrostatic discharges. Empty containers retain product residue and can be <br />hazardous. Do not reuse container. <br />Advice on general : Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is <br />occupational hygiene handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, <br />drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before <br />entering eating areas. See also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene <br />measures. <br />Date of issue/Date of revision : 6/4/2016 Date of previous issue :6/3/2016 Version :3 5/17
