In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. |
SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures
Methods and materials used for containment Cleanup procedures and Storage
| Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures: |
Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc). Restrict unprotected personnel from the area. Prevent any contact with hot surfaces. Do not approach facing the wind. Do not touch the spilled material. |
| Environmental precautions: |
Do not let the product enter drains, soil or water sources. |
| Small Spill: |
Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements. |
| Large Spill: |
Benzyl Alcohol is Combustible material. Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Stop leak if without risk. Soak up with inert absorbent material and dispose of as hazardous waste. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose
as per law. |
SECTION 7: Handling and Storage
| Precautions for safe handling: |
Apply according to good manufacturing and industrial hygiene practices. Ensure proper ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not drink, eat, or smoke while handling. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Minimize dust generation. Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc). Prevent any contact with hot surfaces. |
| Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: |
Store in cool, dry, and ventilated area away from heat sources and protected from sunlight in tightly closed original container. Keep air contact to a minimum. Do not leave the material container open. Store protected from heat, sparks and ignition sources and incompatible materials. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of dust/mist/vapor. Do not store with incompatible materials like acids, oxidizing agents, and aluminum. Outside or detached storage is preferred. Inside storage should be in a standard flammable liquid storage room or cabinet. Separate from oxidizing materials. Storage and use areas should be No Smoking areas. Containers may be hazardous when empty. |
SECTION 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
| Airborne Exposure Limits: |
AIHA Workplace Environmental Exposure Level (WEEL):10 ppm, 8-hour, TWA. |
| Ventilation System: |
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details. |
| Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): |
For conditions of use where exposure to the substance is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible, consult an industrial hygienist. For emergencies, or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face piece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres. |
| Skin Protection: |
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact. |
| Eye Protection: |
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area. |
