Accidental release measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Environmental precautions 7. Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. Use extinguishing agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. None known. 8. Exposure controls/personal protection Occupational exposure limits US. NIOSH: Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards Components Type Calcium carbonate, synthetic (CAS ) Biological limit values Appropriate engineering controls During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed. Calcium carbonate ignites on contact with fluorine. Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. This product is not flammable or combustible. Keep unnecessary personnel away. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator if there is a risk of exposure to dust/fume at levels exceeding the exposure limits. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. Avoid the generation of dusts during clean-up. Collect dust using a vacuum cleaner equipped with HEPA filter. Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Large Spills: Wet down with water and dike for later disposal. Shovel the material into waste container. Following product recovery, flush area with water. Small Spills: Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS. Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. Avoid prolonged exposure. Practice good housekeeping. Store in original tightly closed container. Store in a well-ventilated place. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS). Value Form TWA 5 mg/m3 Respirable. No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s). 10 mg/m3 Total Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. If engineering measures are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of dust particulates below the Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL), suitable respiratory protection must be worn. If material is ground, cut, or used in any operation which may generate dusts, use appropriate local exhaust ventilation to keep exposures below the recommended exposure limits. Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment Unvented, tight fitting goggles should be worn in dusty areas. Eye/face protection Skin protection Hand protection Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Skin protection Other Respiratory protection Wear suitable protective clothing. Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator if there is a risk of exposure to dust/fume at levels exceeding the exposure limits Version #: 01 Revision date: - Issue date: 26-October / 6
