DICHLOROMETHANE LRG

Protective actions during Avoid breathing fire gases or vapours. Evacuate area. Keep upwind to avoid inhalation of
firefighting gases, vapours, fumes and smoke. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Cool
containers exposed to heat with water spray and remove them from the fire area if it can be
done without risk. Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out.
If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse vapours and protect men stopping
the leak. Control run-off water by containing and keeping it out of sewers and watercourses. If
risk of water pollution occurs, notify appropriate authorities.

Special protective equipment Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and appropriate protective
for firefighters clothing. Firefighter's clothing conforming to European standard EN469 (including helmets,
protective boots and gloves) will provide a basic level of protection for chemical incidents.

SECTION 6: Accidental release measures

6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures


Personal precautions No action shall be taken without appropriate training or involving any personal risk. Keep
unnecessary and unprotected personnel away from the spillage. Wear protective clothing as
described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. Follow precautions for safe handling
described in this safety data sheet. Wash thoroughly after dealing with a spillage. Ensure
procedures and training for emergency decontamination and disposal are in place. Do not
touch or walk into spilled material. Avoid inhalation of vapours and spray/mists. Use suitable
respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate.

6.2. Environmental precautions


Environmental precautions Slightly soluble in water. Not regarded as dangerous for the environment. However, large or
frequent spills may have hazardous effects on the environment. Absorb spillage with non-
combustible, absorbent material. Avoid discharge into drains or watercourses or onto the
ground. Avoid discharge to the aquatic environment. Large Spillages: Inform the relevant
authorities if environmental pollution occurs (sewers, waterways, soil or air).

6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up


Methods for cleaning up Clear up spills immediately and dispose of waste safely. Approach the spillage from upwind.
Small Spillages: If the product is soluble in water, dilute the spillage with water and mop it up.
Alternatively, or if it is not water-soluble, absorb the spillage with an inert, dry material and
place it in a suitable waste disposal container. Large Spillages: If leakage cannot be stopped,
evacuate area. Flush spilled material into an effluent treatment plant, or proceed as follows.
Contain and absorb spillage with sand, earth or other non-combustible material. Place waste
in labelled, sealed containers. Clean contaminated objects and areas thoroughly, observing
environmental regulations. Provide adequate ventilation. The contaminated absorbent may
pose the same hazard as the spilled material. Wash thoroughly after dealing with a spillage.

Revision date: 17/08/2023 Revision: 8 Supersedes date: 18/07/2016

DICHLOROMETHANE LRG

Appropriate engineering Provide adequate ventilation. Personal, workplace environment or biological monitoring may
controls be required to determine the effectiveness of the ventilation or other control measures and/or
the necessity to use respiratory protective equipment. Use process enclosures, local exhaust
ventilation or other engineering controls as the primary means to minimise worker exposure.
Personal protective equipment should only be used if worker exposure cannot be controlled
adequately by the engineering control measures. Ensure control measures are regularly
inspected and maintained. Ensure operatives are trained to minimise exposure.

Eye/face protection Eyewear complying with an approved standard should be worn if a risk assessment indicates
eye contact is possible. Personal protective equipment for eye and face protection should
comply with European Standard EN166. Wear tight-fitting, chemical splash goggles or face
shield. If inhalation hazards exist, a full-face respirator may be required instead.

Hand protection Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn if
a risk assessment indicates skin contact is possible. To protect hands from chemicals, gloves
should comply with European Standard EN374. Considering the data specified by the glove
manufacturer, check during use that the gloves are retaining their protective properties and
change them as soon as any deterioration is detected. Frequent changes are recommended.
It is recommended that gloves are made of the following material: Viton rubber (fluoro rubber).
Butyl rubber. Thickness: > 0.4 mm The selected gloves should have a breakthrough time of at
least 8 hours. The breakthrough time for any glove material may be different for different glove
manufacturers. Glove thickness is not necessarily a good measure of glove resistance as the
permeation rate will depend on the exact glove composition. The most suitable glove should
be chosen in consultation with the glove supplier/manufacturer, who can provide information
about the breakthrough time of the glove material.

Other skin and body Appropriate footwear and additional protective clothing complying with an approved standard
protection should be worn if a risk assessment indicates skin contamination is possible. Wear suitable
coveralls to prevent exposure to the skin.

Hygiene measures Provide eyewash station and safety shower. Contaminated work clothing should not be
allowed out of the workplace. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Clean equipment
and the work area every day. Good personal hygiene procedures should be implemented.
Wash at the end of each work shift and before eating, smoking and using the toilet. When
using do not eat, drink or smoke. Preventive industrial medical examinations should be carried
out. Warn cleaning personnel of any hazardous properties of the product.

Respiratory protection Respiratory protection complying with an approved standard should be worn if a risk
assessment indicates inhalation of contaminants is possible. Ensure all respiratory protective
equipment is suitable for its intended use and is ‘CE’-marked. Check that the respirator fits
tightly and the filter is changed regularly. Gas and combination filter cartridges should comply
with European Standard EN14387. Full face mask respirators with replaceable filter cartridges
should comply with European Standard EN136. Half mask and quarter mask respirators with
replaceable filter cartridges should comply with European Standard EN140. Wear a respirator
fitted with the following cartridge: Gas filter, type AX.

Environmental exposure Keep container tightly sealed when not in use. Emissions from ventilation or work process
controls equipment should be checked to ensure 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. Store in a
demarcated bunded area to prevent release to drains and/or watercourses.
