Accidental Release Measures NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES: NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES: Notify emergecy responce personnel. Evacuate area and remove ignition sources. Build dike to contain flow. Remove free liquid. Shut of ignition source. Report spills as rquired to appropriate authorities. U.S. Coast Guard regulations require immediate reporting of spills that could reach any waterway including intermittent dry creeks. Report spill to Coast Guard Page 4 8 Print Rev. Date 05/04/2007 MSDS ID MSDS0106 TruSouth Charcoal Lighter Fluid toll free number (800) 424-8802. In case of accident or road spill notify CHEMTRIC (800) 424-9300. PROCEDURES IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Absorb on inert material. Shovel up and dispose of at an appropriate waste disposal facility in accordance with current applicable laws and regulations, and product characteristics at time of disposal. ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS: Prevent spills from entering storm sewers or drains and contact with soil. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: See Section 8. 7. Handling and Storage HANDLING AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS Store as OSHA Class II combustible liquid. Keep away from flames, sparks or hot surfaces. Never use a torch to cut or weld on or near container. Empty oil containers can contain explosive vapors. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not store with strong oxidizers. STORAGE PRECAUTIONS Empty containters retain product residue (liquid and vapor) and can be dangerous. Storage Temperature: ambient. Storage Pressure: atmospheric. WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES Wash hands with soap and water before eating, drinking, smoking or use of toilet facilities. Do not use gasoline, solvents, kerosene, or harsh abrasive skin cleaners for washing exposed skin areas. Take a shower after work if general contact occurs. Remove oil-soaked clothing and launder before reuse. Launder or discard contaminated shoes and leather gloves. "EMPTY" CONTAINER WARNING "Empty" containers retain residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT, WELD, BRAZE, SOLDER, DRILL, GRIND OR EXPOSE SUCH CONTAINERS TO HEAT, FLAME, SPARKS, STATIC ELECTRICITY, OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION; THEY MAY EXPLODE AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. Do not attempt to refill or clean containers since residue is difficult to remove. "Empty" drums should be completely drained, properly bunged and promptly returned to a drum reconditioner. All other containers should be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with governmental regulations. For work on tanks refer to Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations, ANSI Z49.1, and other governmental and industrial references pertaining to cleaning, repairing, welding, or other contemplated operations. 8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection ENGINEERING CONTROLS Use adequate ventillation to keep oil mists of this material below applicable standard(s). See Section on occupational exposure limits. Page 5 8 Print Rev. Date 05/04/2007 MSDS ID MSDS0106 TruSouth Charcoal Lighter Fluid EYE/FACE PROTECTION: Use safety glasses or splash goggles when eye contact may occur. Have suitable eye wash water available. SKIN PROTECTION: Avoid prolonged and/or repeated skin contact. If prolonged contact cannot be avoided, wear protective impervious clothing (gloves, boots, aprons, etc.). Acceptable materials for gloves are neoprene; nitrile; and viton. OTHER/GENERAL PROTECTION If there is a likelihood of splashing, an oil resistant clothing should be worn. Never wear oil soaked clothing. Launder or dry clean before wearing. Discard oil soaked shoes. Affix warning labels on containers in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.1200 (Hazard Communication Standard). Loading, unloading, tank guaging, etc., remain upwind.
