	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.	NO open flames.	Use water spray, foam, powder, carbon dioxide.

AVOID ALL CONTACT!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation		Use local exhaust.	Fresh air, rest.
Skin		Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes	Redness.	Wear safety goggles.	Rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible).
Ingestion		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.	According to UN GHS Criteria WARNING Harmful if swallowed May cause allergic skin reaction Transportation UN Classification UN Hazard Class: 6.1; UN Pack Group: II
STORAGE
Separated from oxidants and food and feedstuffs. Ventilation along the floor.
