5.3 Advice for firefighters
IJ-P-BK2-G5 GHS (US) ENGLISH Version: 2 Page: 3/8
Special protective actions : Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
for fire-fighters there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without
suitable training.
Special protective : Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained
equipment for fire-fighters breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure
mode.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency : No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
personnel Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Put on appropriate
personal protective equipment.
For emergency responders : If specialized clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of any
information in Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable materials. See also the
information in "For non-emergency personnel".
6.2 Environmental precautions
Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. Inform the relevant
authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Small spill : Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute with water and mop
up if water-soluble. Alternatively, or if water-insoluble, absorb with an inert dry
material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Dispose of via a
licensed waste disposal contractor.
Large spill : Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Prevent entry into sewers,
water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash spillages into an effluent
treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain and collect spillage with non-
combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth
and place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see Section 13).
Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Note: see Section 1 for
emergency contact information and Section 13 for waste disposal.
6.4 Reference to other sections
See Section 8 for information on appropriate personal protective equipment. See Section 13 for additional waste
treatment information.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1 Precautions for safe handling
Protective measures : Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8).
Advice on general : Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is
occupational hygiene handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before
eating, drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective
equipment before entering eating areas. See also Section 8 for additional
information on hygiene measures.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and
well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10) and food and drink. Keep container tightly
closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright
to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental
contamination. See Section 10 for incompatible materials before handling or use.

SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection
8.1 Control parameters
Occupational exposure limits
Product/ingredient name Exposure limit values
1) 2-(2-butoxyethoxy)ethanol ACGIH TLV (United States, 3/2020).
TWA: 10 ppm 8 hours. Form: Inhalable fraction and vapor
Recommended monitoring : If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal, workplace
procedures atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to determine the effectiveness
of the ventilation or other control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory
protective equipment. Reference should be made to appropriate monitoring
standards. Reference to national guidance documents for methods for the
determination of hazardous substances will also be required.
8.2 Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering : Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control worker exposure to airborne
controls contaminants.
Hygiene measures : Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before
eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.
Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.
Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and
safety showers are close to the workstation location.
Eye/face protection : Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk
assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists,
gases or dusts. If contact is possible, the following protection should be worn,
unless the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: safety glasses with
side-shields.
Hand protection : Recommended: EN374 K
May be used (Short term exposure): Latex gloves. Nitrile gloves. Use gloves only
once. Gloves should be replaced regularly and if there is any sign of damage to the
glove material. The user must check that the final choice of type of glove selected
for handling this product is the most appropriate and takes into account the
particular conditions of use, as included in the user's risk assessment.
Respiratory protection : Based on the hazard and potential for exposure, select a respirator that meets the
appropriate standard or certification. Respirators must be used according to a
respiratory protection program to ensure proper fitting, training, and other important
aspects of use.
Recommended: organic vapor filter (Type A)
Additional information: In situations where misting or flying may occur, use
appropriate certified respirators. Use a properly fitted, particulate filter respirator
complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is
necessary.
Environmental exposure : Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
controls they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some
cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process
equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
