FIREFIGHTING MEASURES <br />FLAMMABLE PROPER <br />FLASH POINT: <br />Not Applicable <br />FLASH POINT METHOD: <br />Not Applicable <br />AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: <br />Not Determined <br />UPPER FLAME LIMIT (volume % in air): <br />Not Determined <br />LOWER FLAME LIMIT (volume % in air): <br />Not Determined <br />FLAME PROPAGATION RATE (solids): <br />Not Determined <br />OSHA FLAMMABILITY CLASS: <br />Not Applicable <br />EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: <br />Water/fog, carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemicals, sand, or steam. <br />UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: <br />Water/fog can control unconfined fires. <br />When heated to elevated temperature, it emits lower molecular weight hydrocarbons. <br />SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PRECAUTIONS/INSTRUCTIONS: <br />Wood dust may form explosive mixture with air. Fire vapors and combustion products are irritants and toxic. Self- <br />contained breathing apparatus (SOBA) and full protective clothing should be worn if material is involved in a fire. <br />6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES <br />IN CASE OF SPILL OR OTHER RELEASE: (Always wear recommended personal protective equipment.) <br />Not Applicable <br />Spills and releases may have to be reported to Federal and/or local authorities. See Section 15 regarding reporting <br />requirements. <br />7. HANDLING AND STORAGE <br />NORMAL HANDLING: (Always wear recommended personal protective equipment.) <br />Wear clothing closed at the neck, long sleeves and non -porous type gloves. Industrial type resistant (e.g., vinyl <br />coated) heavy duty flexible gloves required for prolonged or frequent contact. For dusty operations (areas), wear <br />necessary resistant protective apparel including required head, hand and safety -type footwear. Wear tightly woven <br />coveralls or long sleeved shirts and long pants. A complete soap and water shower at the end of each working day is <br />recommended for all industrial work situations. <br />STORAGE RECOMMENDATIPN <br />OOM4 <br />8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION <br />ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Avoid breathing vapors or sawdust, ventilate work area, wear respirator, goggles, or <br />face shield. Ventilation necessary only if material handling generates dust. Provide sufficient general/local exhaust <br />ventilation in pattern/ volume to control inhalation exposures below current exposure limits and areas below <br />explosive dust concentrations. <br />Current Issue Date: May, 1996 Page 3 of 7 <br />
