Fire/Explosion Risk: Containers exposed to fire may burst, runoff may pollute watershed
Firefighting Instructions: Isolate scene, cool containers with water spray, prevent fire-fighting run-off from entering drains or watercourses
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, avoid contact with skin and eyes, use appropriate protective equipment
Environmental Precautions: Contain spill to prevent entry into drains or soil
Methods for Clean-Up: Absorb with inert material (sand, earth), collect for disposal in labeled containers, ventilate area
Handling of Waste: Dispose of clean-up materials as hazardous waste, follow national and local regulations
Handling: Use in ventilated area, do not eat, drink, or smoke during handling, minimize all unnecessary exposure
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly-sealed original container, in cool, dry, well-ventilated location, away from sources of ignition
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, acids, bases
Other Storage Guidance: Protect from sunlight, keep away from food and drink, keep out of reach of children
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits for Sandranol
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, ensure adequate general ventilation
Personal Protective Equipment:
Eye Protection: Safety goggles or face shield
Skin Protection: Protective gloves, long-sleeved clothing
