Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Firefighting Tactics: Prevent runoff from entering drains or waterways, cool closed containers exposed to fire with water fog
Personal Precautions: Ventilate area, avoid dust formation, wear gloves, goggles, and protective clothing
Environmental Precautions: Keep from entering drains or environment, contain spill with inert material
Clean-Up Methods: Sweep up and place in designated closed container for disposal, avoid creating airborne dust
Decontamination: Wash area with plenty of soap and water
Safe Handling: Use local exhaust, keep container tightly closed, avoid inhalation or contact
