Advice for fire-fighters
Fire fighters should wear complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus. Do not breathe fumes. Keep containers cool by spraying with water if exposed to fire. Avoid run off to waterways and sewers.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Caution - spillages may be slippery. Stop leak if safe to do so. Evacuate if necessary. Remove or make safe all sources of ignition. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing fumes.
