SECTION 5 NOTES: SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES: Confine the spill to a diked area or sump, if possible, and recover as much of the liquid potassium acetate as possible. Place in suitable containers. SECTION 6 NOTES: SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE HANDLING AND STORAGE: OTHER PRECAUTIONS: SECTION 7 NOTES: Keep in a dry, cool, well-ventilated place. Ground all equipment containing the material. Keep container tightly closed. Store in suitable containers made of plastic, mild steel, fiberglass, or stainless steel. Always use good safety and industrial hygienic practices. Wear suitable personal protective equipment. Keep away from sources of ignition. Always use good safety and industrial hygienic practices. SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONTROLS: VENTILATION: RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: EYE PROTECTION: SKIN PROTECTION: Good ventilation should be sufficient to control airborne levels of material. Use process enclosures where possible. Local Exhaust Respiratory protection not normally required unless excessive heat or reaction occurs resulting in release of carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide. In enclosed spaces, these gases can displace oxygen causing possible suffocation, thus use self-contained breathing apparatus. Do not use air purifying respirators. Safety goggles and face shield. Gloves that are rubber or plastic OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT: For spills, wear splash goggles, full suit, boots, and gloves. A self-contained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of product. WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Wash hands thoroughly after use. EXPOSURE GUIDELINES: See Section 3.
