Preventive Measures____________________
Personal Protective Equipment
Respiratory Protection:
Not normally required. For large
spills, use dust respirator during cleanup.
Protective Gloves and/or Eye Protection:
Not normally
required. For large spills, use rubber gloves and safety
goggles during cleanup.

None.
Spill Cleanup
Small Spills
1. Remove sources of ignition.
2. Carefully clean up the spill with a wet cloth, avoiding
inhalation of fine dust.
Large Spills
1. Remove sources of ignition and keep unnecessary and
unprotected personnel away from area.
2. Wear protective gear: respirator, rubber gloves, safety
goggles.
3. Vacuum the spill, then wipe up remainder with a wet
cloth.
Waste Disposal
• Prevent release of material into natural waters and sewers.
• Follow appropriate federal, state and local regulations.
• Small amounts can be incinerated.
Careful! Combustion can create harmful gases such as
carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides.
• Large amounts must be passed to a licensed waste
contractor.
