| Percent | 99 – 100% |
| Inhalation | Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention for any breathing difficulty. |
| Ingestion | Do not induce vomiting. Loosen tight clothing. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek immediate medical attention. |
| Skin Contact | Wash exposed area with soap and water. Get medical advice if irritation develops. |
| Eye Contact | Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Cold water may be used. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention |
| Fire | Potassium Acetate is not considered to be a fire hazard. |
| Fire Extinguishing Media | Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire. |
| Special Information | 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. |
| Small Spill | Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. If necessary: Neutralize the residue with a dilute solution of acetic acid. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements. |
| Large Spill | Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Neutralize the residue with a dilute solution of acetic acid. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to drain |
| Engineering Controls | Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit. |
| Personal Protection | Splash goggles. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Gloves. |
| Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill | Splash goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. |
| Airborne Exposure Limits | None established. |
| Ventilation System | In general, dilution ventilation is a satisfactory health hazard control for this substance. However, if conditions of use create discomfort to the worker, a local exhaust system should be considered. |
| Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved) | For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerin, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. |
| WARNING | Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres. |
| Skin Protection | Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing. |
| Eye Protection | Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick- drench facilities in work area. |
