Specific Hazards Arising from Chemical: Emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides and carbon oxides under fire conditions, possible dust explosion risk if powdered
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-resistant clothing
Special Precautions: Evacuate area if large fire occurs, use firefighting measures that minimize smoke inhalation risks, contain contaminated runoff to prevent environmental spread
Personal Precautions: Use personal protective equipment listed under exposure controls, prevent dust formation, avoid breathing powder or vapors
Environmental Precautions: Prevent chemical from entering drains, surface water, or soil
Methods for Containment and Cleanup: Sweep up and place in suitable labeled container, ventilate spill area, clean residue with damp cloth, dispose of cleanup waste as hazardous chemical per local regulations
Notification Procedures: Notify local safety and environmental authorities if release exceeds reportable quantities or environmental impact occurs
Safe Handling: Wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles, lab coat, and dust mask during handling, work in well-ventilated area or chemical fume hood, avoid contact with incompatible substances
Storage Conditions: Store tightly closed in cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, segregate from oxidizing agents, acids and bases, store at room temperature away from direct sunlight and moisture
Other Precautions: Keep container labeled, restrict access to trained personnel, avoid storage near food or animal feed, inspect regularly for damage or leaks
Engineering Controls: Use chemical fume hood or effective general ventilation, install eyewash station and safety shower in work area
Respiratory Protection: Approved particulate respirator for potential dust exposure
Skin Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves, long sleeves, protective apron
Eye Protection: Tight-fitting safety goggles or face shield
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before eating, smoking, or leaving laboratory, do not reuse contaminated clothing, change gloves regularly and after spills
