First aid measures
==============================================================================
Skin: Flush the contact area with lukewarm running water for at least 15
minutes. Remove contaminated clothing, taking care not to spread the chemical.
If contamination is extensive, remove clothing under running water. Discard or
decontaminate clothing under running water. Discard or decontaminate clothing
before use. Unless contact has been slight, seek medical attention. Seek
medical attention if irritation persists.
Eye: Flush the contaminated eye(s) for at least 15 minutes with lukewarm
running water, holding the eyelids open. Take care not to rinse contaminated
water into the non-affected eye. Always seek medical attention for accidents
involving the eyes.
Inhalation: Take proper precautions to ensure your own safety before attempting
rescue. Remove source of contamination or move victim to fresh air. If
breathing has stopped, trained personnel should begin artificial respiration,
or if the heart has stopped, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) immediately.
Seek medical attention.
Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth if victim is rapidly losing
consciousness, or is unconscious or convulsing. Rinse mouth thoroughly with
water. Do not induce vomiting. Have victim drink 200-400 ml of water to dilute.
If breathing has stopped, trained personnel should begin artificial
respiration, or if the heart has stopped, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
immediately. Seek medical attention.

Preventive Measures
==============================================================================
Engineering Controls: The hazard potential of this material is relatively low. General ventilation is usually sufficient.
Personal protective equipment:
   -gloves: Rubber or plastic
   -respiratory protection: Dust mask
   -eye protection: Chemical safety goggles
   -clothing: Plastic apron, sleeves and boots as appropriate
Storage Requirements: Store in suitable labelled containers. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use and when empty. Protect from damage. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight.
Handling Procedures and Equipment: Avoid generating dust. Follow routine safe handling procedures.                                          
Leak or Spill Clean-up: Before dealing with spillages take necessary protective measures, inform others to keep at a safe distance and, for flammable materials, shut off all possible sources of ignition. Mix with sand, transfer carefully into container and arrange removal by disposal company. Wash site of spillage thoroughly with water and detergent.                   
Disposal: Follow all federal, provincial  and local regulations for disposal.
Use only licensed disposal and waste hauling companies. Disposal of small amounts of spilled material may be handled as described under "Leak or Spill Cleanup". Large spills must be dealt with separately and must be handled by qualified disposal companies.
