Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL OR CARBON DIOXIDE. FOR LARGER FIRES:
USE WATER SPRAY, FOG OR STANDARD FOAM, (1990 EMERGENCY RESPONSE
GUIDEBOOK, DOT P 5800.5).
Fire Fighting Procedures:MOVE CONTAINER FROM AREA. STAY CLEAR OF TANK
ENDS. COOL CONTAINERS WITH FLOODING AMOUNT OF WATER UNTIL WELL
AFTER FIRE IS OUT; APPLY FROM AS FAR AS POSSIBLE. FOR MASSIVE FIRE,
USE UNMANNED HOSE HOLDER OR MONITOR NOZZLES, ELSE WITHDRAW AND LET

OTHER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS MAY RESULT IN IGNITION, VIOLENT
COMBUSTION OR EXPLOSION.

Spill Release Procedures:KEEP COMBUSTIBLES (WOOD, PAPER, OIL, ETC.)
AWAY FROM HAZARD AREA. STOP LEAK IF YOU CAN DO IT WITHOUT RISK.
ISOLATE AREA UNTIL GAS HAS DISPERSED. KEEP UNNECESSARY PEOPLE AWAY;
ISOLATE HAZARD AREA AND D ENY ENTRY. VENTILATE CLOSED SPACES BEFORE
ENTERING.

PAPER, FUEL, OILS, ETC.); CONTACT MAY RESULT IN IGNITION OR
EXPLOSION. DO NOT PERMIT PHYSICAL DAMAGE OR OVERHEATING OF
CONTAINERS. CONTENTS ARE UNDER PR ESSURE; CONTAINERS MAY VIOLENTLY
RUPTURE AND TRAVEL A CONSIDERABLE DISTANCE.

Respiratory Protection:THE SPECIFIC RESPIRATOR SELECTED MUST BE BASED
ON CONTAMINATION LEVELS FOUND IN THE WORK PLACE, MUST NOT EXCEED
THE WORKING LIMITS OF THE RESIPIRATOR AND BE JOINTLY APPROVED BY
NIOSH/MSHA. USE ANY SUP PLIED AIR RESPIRATOR OPERATED IN
PRESSURE-DEMAND OR OTHER POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE OR ANY
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
Ventilation:PROVIDE GENERAL DILUTION VENTILATION.
Protective Gloves:WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE, COLD INSULATING GLOVES.
Eye Protection:FOR THE GAS FORM EYE PROTECTION IS NOT REQUIRED BUT
RECOMMENDED.
Other Protective Equipment:FOR THE GAS FORM, PROTECTIVE CLOTHING NOT
REQUIRED. IF CONTACT WITH THE LIQUID FORM IS POSSIBLE, EMPLOYEE
MUST WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT TO PREVENT
SKIN FROM FREEZING.
Work Hygienic Practices:WHERE THERE IS ANY POSSIBILITY OF CONTACT WITH
THE LIQUID FORM, EMPLOYEE MUST WEAR SPLASH-PROOF SAFETY GOGGLES AND
FACE-SHIELD TO PREVENT CONTACT WITH THIS SUBSTANCE. CONTACT LENSES
SHOULD NOT BE WORN.
Supplemental Safety and Health
WHERE THERE IS ANY POSSIBILITY THAT AN EMPLOYEE'S EYES AND/OR SKIN MAY
BE EXPOSED TO THE LIQUID FORM OF THIS SUBSTANCE, THE EMPLOYER
