Types of Hazard/ Exposure
|
Acute Hazards/ Symptoms
|
Prevention
|
First Aid/ Fire Fighting
|
|
FIRE
|
Highly flammable.
Heating will cause rise in pressure with risk of bursting.
Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.
|
NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking.
NO contact with hot surfaces.
|
Powder, carbon dioxide,
foam.
|
|
Explosion
|
Vapour/air mixtures are explosive.
Heating will cause rise in pressure with risk of bursting.
|
Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting.
Do NOT use compressed air for filling, discharging, or handling.
|
In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
