SECTION VII. SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED

Where possible, use vacuum suction with HEPA filters to clean up spilled material. Use dust suppressant where sweep- ing if necessary. Avoid clean up procedure which may result in water pollution. (Observe Special Protection Informa- tion Section VIII.)

WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS

The transportation, treatment, and disposal of this waste material must be conducted in compliance with all applicable Federal, State, and Local regulations.

SECTION VIII. SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION

Use NIOSH or MSHA approved equipment when airborne exposure limits may be exceeded. NIOSH/MSHA approved breathing equipment may be required for non-routine and emergency use. (See Section IX for suitable equipment).

Pending the results of long term health effects studies, engineering control of airborne fibers to the lowest levels attain- able is advised.

VENTILATION

Ventilation should be used whenever possible to control or reduce airborne concentrations of fiber and dust. Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, reactive hydrocarbons and a small amount of formaldehyde may accom- pany binder burn-off during first heat. Use adequate ventilation or other precautions to eliminate vapors resulting from binder burn-off. Exposure to burn-off fumes may cause respiratory tract irritation, bronchial hyper-reactivity and asth- matic response.

SKIN PROTECTION

Wear gloves, hats and full body clothing to prevent skin contact. Use separate lockers for work clothes to prevent fiber transfer to street clothes. Wash work clothes separately from other clothing and rinse washing machine thoroughly after use.

EYE PROTECTION

Wear safety glasses or chemical worker’s goggles to prevent eye contact. Do not wear contact lenses when working with this substance. Have eye baths readily available where eye contact can occur.
