Hazard Statements

• H225: Highly flammable liquid and vapor
• H301: Toxic if swallowed
• H311: Toxic in contact with skin
• H331: Toxic if inhaled
• H315: Causes skin irritation

2. Double protection: sealed anti-corrosion chemical goggles + full acid-resistant face shield
3. Double-layer thick butyl nitrile impermeable gloves, full flame-retardant anti-toxic coveralls + anti-static acid-proof rubber boots
4. Closed negative-pressure explosion-proof fume hood for all pumping, sampling and feeding work

Spill & First Aid Emergency Treatment

1. Spill disposal: Evacuate all irrelevant personnel, cut all ignition sources; absorb liquid with dry inert sand (no organic absorbents); collect waste into airtight steel hazardous waste drum; neutralize residual traces with sodium thiosulfate solution, prohibit direct sewer discharge
2. Skin contact: Immediately strip all contaminated clothing, flush skin with massive 5% sodium thiosulfate solution + running water continuously ≥30 minutes and rush to hospital for cyanide antidote treatment
3. Eye contact: Irrigate eyes with steady clean running water non-stop for minimum 30 minutes, emergency ophthalmic treatment mandatory
4. Inhalation: Move victim to fresh air instantly, supply pure oxygen; if cyanide poisoning symptoms appear, administer antidote and send to toxic emergency center
5. Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting; drink large volume milk to dilute toxin, carry SDS document for targeted hospital treatment
