Sweep up or preferably vacuum up spillage using equipment fitted with high efficiency final filter. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. Clean floors and contaminated objects with plenty of water. Additional Advice
Information regarding safe handling, see section 7. Information regarding personal protective equipment, see section 8. Information regarding waste disposal, see section 13. Check also for any local site procedures. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling

Advice on safe handling
No specific precautions required when handling unopened packs/containers; follow relevant manual handling advice. Avoid dust formation. Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation. Advice on protection against fire and explosion During processing, dust may form explosive mixture in air. Requirements for storage areas and containers Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Store in a place accessible by authorized persons only. Keep away from heat. Keep away from direct sunlight. Protect against moisture. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs. Storage temperature should ideally lie between 0 and 30 °C, Bayer Environmental Science SAFETY DATA SHEET according to EC Directive 2001/58/EC

however, storage for two weeks at 54 °C has shown no adverse effects regarding product safety or stability. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Refer to COSHH assessment (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (Amendment)
Regulations 2004). Engineering controls should be used in preference to personal
protective equipment wherever practicable. Refer also to COSHH Essentials.

Components with workplace control parameters
Personal protective equipment
Wear respirator conforming to EN149FFP1. Respiratory protection should only be used to control residual risk of short duration activities, when all reasonably practicable steps have been taken to reduce exposure at source e.g. containment and/or local extract ventilation. Always follow respirator manufacturer's instructions regarding wearing and maintenance. Wear CE Marked (or equivalent) nitrile rubber gloves (minimum thickness 0,40 mm). Wash when contaminated. Dispose of when contaminated inside, when perforated or when contamination outside cannot be removed. Wash hands always before eating, drinking, smoking or using the toilet. Wear goggles conforming to EN166 (Field of Use 5 or equivalent). Wear standard coverall and type 5 suit. Wear two layers of clothing wherever possible. Polyester/cotton or cotton overalls should be worn under chemical protection suit and should be professionally laundered frequently. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Remove soiled clothing immediately. Remove soaked protective clothing immediately. Clean hands and face at work intervals and after work. Work in an adequately ventilated room. 9.
