HEALTH 2 Intense or continued but not chronic exposure could cause temporary incapacitation or possible residual injury (e.g. diethyl ether, ammonium phosphate, iodine)
FIRE 3 Liquids and solids (including finely divided suspended solids) that can be ignited under almost all ambient temperature conditions . Liquids having a flash point below 22.8 °C (73 °F) and having a boiling point at or above 37.8 °C (100 °F) or having a flash point between 22.8 and 37.8 °C (73 and 100 °F). (e.g. gasoline, acetone)
REACT 3 Capable of detonation or explosive decomposition but requires a strong initiating source, must be heated under confinement before initiation, reacts explosively with water, or will detonate if severely shocked (e.g. ammonium nitrate, cesium, hydrogen peroxide)
SPEC. HAZ. OX

SECTION 6: Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Personal precautions
Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas.

Environmental precautions

Environmental precautions
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Prevent product from entering drains.
See Section 12 for additional Ecological Information.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Methods for containment
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Methods for cleaning up
Dam up. Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust). Pick up and transfer to properly labeled containers.

SECTION 7: Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Advice on safe handling
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Keep away from heat, sparks, flame and other sources of ignition (i.e., pilot lights, electric motors and static electricity).
Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment

Eye/face protection
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Skin and Body Protection
Wear protective gloves and protective clothing.
Respiratory protection
If exposure limits are exceeded or irritation is experienced, NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection should be worn. Positive-pressure supplied air respirators may be required for high airborne contaminant concentrations. Respiratory protection must be provided in accordance with current local regulations.
General Hygiene Considerations
When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Regular cleaning of equipment, work area and clothing is recommended.
