Section 6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
personnel Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering. Do not touch or walk through spilt material. Floors may be slippery; use
care to avoid falling. Avoid breathing vapour or mist. Provide adequate ventilation.
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Contact
emergency personnel.
For emergency responders If specialised clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of any
information in Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable materials. See also the
information in "For non-emergency personnel".
Environmental precautions Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Small spill Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Absorb with an inert
material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Dispose of via a
licensed waste disposal contractor.
Large spill Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Approach the release
from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined
areas. Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material e.g.
sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal
according to local regulations (see Section 13). Contaminated absorbent material
may pose the same hazard as the spilt product. Dispose of via a licensed waste
disposal contractor.
Section 7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Persons with a
handling history of skin sensitization problems should not be employed in any process in
which this product is used. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not ingest.
Avoid breathing vapour or mist. Wash thoroughly after handling. Eating, drinking
and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored
and processed. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before
entering eating areas. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking
and smoking. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a
compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Empty containers retain
product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container. During metal
working, solid particles from workpieces or tools will contaminate the fluid and may
cause abrasions of the skin. Where such abrasions result in a penetration of the
skin, first aid treatment should be applied as soon as reasonably possible. The
presence of certain metals in the workpiece or tool, such as chromium, cobalt and
nickel, can contaminate the metalworking fluid, as can bacteria, and as a result may
induce allergic and other skin reactions, especially if personal hygiene is inadequate.
Concentrations of mist, fumes and vapours in enclosed spaces may result in the
formation of explosive atmospheres. Excessive splashing, agitation or heating must
be avoided. See also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene measures.
Conditions for safe storage, Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected
including any from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible
incompatibilities materials (see Section 10) and food and drink. Keep container tightly closed and
sealed until ready for use. Store and use only in equipment/containers designed for
use with this product. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed
and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabelled containers. Use
appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.
Not suitable Prolonged exposure to elevated temperature

Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection
Control parameters
Occupational exposure limits
No exposure limit value known.
Recommended monitoring If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal, workplace
procedures atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to determine the effectiveness
of the ventilation or other control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory
protective equipment. Reference should be made to appropriate monitoring
standards. Reference to national guidance documents for methods for the
determination of hazardous substances will also be required.
Appropriate engineering Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the relevant
controls airborne concentrations below their respective occupational exposure limits. All
activities involving chemicals should be assessed for their risks to health, to ensure
exposures are adequately controlled. Personal protective equipment should only be
considered after other forms of control measures (e.g. engineering controls) have
been suitably evaluated. Personal protective equipment should conform to
appropriate standards, be suitable for use, be kept in good condition and properly
maintained.
Your supplier of personal protective equipment should be consulted for advice on
selection and appropriate standards. For further information contact your national
organisation for standards. The final choice of protective equipment will depend
upon a risk assessment. It is important to ensure that all items of personal
protective equipment are compatible.
Environmental exposure Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
controls they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some
cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process
equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
Individual protection measures
Hygiene measures Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before
eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.
Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.
Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Wash
contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety
showers are close to the workstation location.
Eye protection Safety glasses with side shields.
Hand protection Wear protective gloves if prolonged or repeated contact is likely. Wear chemical
resistant gloves. Recommended: Nitrile gloves. The correct choice of protective
gloves depends upon the chemicals being handled, the conditions of work and use,
and the condition of the gloves (even the best chemically resistant glove will break
down after repeated chemical exposures). Most gloves provide only a short time of
protection before they must be discarded and replaced. Because specific work
environments and material handling practices vary, safety procedures should be
developed for each intended application. Gloves should therefore be chosen in
consultation with the supplier/manufacturer and with a full assessment of the
working conditions.
Skin protection Use of protective clothing is good industrial practice. Cotton or polyester/cotton
overalls will only provide protection against light superficial contamination that will
not soak through to the skin. Overalls should be laundered on a regular basis.
When the risk of skin exposure is high (e.g. when cleaning up spillages or if there is
a risk of splashing) then chemical resistant aprons and/or impervious chemical suits
and boots will be required. Personal protective equipment for the body should be
selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be
approved by a specialist before handling this product.
Respiratory protection In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. The correct
choice of respiratory protection depends upon the chemicals being handled, the
conditions of work and use, and the condition of the respiratory equipment. Safety
procedures should be developed for each intended application. Respiratory
protection equipment should therefore be chosen in consultation with the supplier/
manufacturer and with a full assessment of the working conditions. Respiratory
protection should conform to AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716.
