As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing
apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH
(approved or equivalent) and full protective
gear
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
6.1 Personal precautions
Comply with good personal hygiene habits.
Advice for non-emergency personnel: do not
breathe in steam or aerosol. Evacuate area;
follow emergency procedures and seek for
expert’s advice. Use personal protective
equipment recommended in Section 8
