• Sand <br /> ® Dirt/Earth <br /> Response Recommendations <br /> Isolation and Evacuation <br /> Excerpt from GUIDE 157 [Substances-Toxic and/or Corrosive(Non-Combustible/Water-Sensitive)]: <br /> As an immediate precautionary measure,isolate spill or leak area in all directions for at least 50 meters (150 <br /> feet)for liquids and at least 25 meters(75 feet)for solids. <br /> SPILL: Increase,in the downwind direction, as necessary,the isolation distance shown above. <br /> FIRE: If tank,rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire,ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; <br /> also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. (ERG,2012) <br /> Firefighting <br /> Excerpt from GUIDE 157 [Substances -Toxic and/or Corrosive(Non-Combustible/Water-Sensitive)]: <br /> Note: Some foams will react with the material and release corrosive/toxic gases. <br /> SMALL FIRE: CO2(except for Cyanides),dry chemical,dry sand, alcohol-resistant foam. <br /> LARGE FIRE: Water spray,fog or alcohol-resistant foam.Move containers from fire area if you can do it <br /> without risk.Use water spray or fog; do not use straight streams.Dike fire-control water for later disposal; do <br /> not scatter the material. <br /> FIRE INVOLVING TANKS OR CAR/TRAILER,LOADS: Fight fire from maximum distance or use <br /> unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Do,not get water inside containers.Cool containers with flooding <br /> quantities of water until well after fire is out.Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety <br /> devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. (ERG, 2012) <br /> Non-Fire Response <br /> Excerpt from GUIDE 157 [Substances-Toxic and/or Corrosive(Non-Combustible/Water-Sensitive)]: <br /> ELIMINATE all ignition sources(no smoking,flares, sparks or flames in immediate area).All equipment used <br /> when handling the product must be grounded.Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless <br /> wearing appropriate protective clothing. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. A vapor suppressing foam may <br /> be used to reduce vapors.DO NOT GET WATER INSIDE CONTAINERS. Use water spray to reduce vapors <br /> or divert vapor cloud drift. Avoid allowing water runoff to contact spilled material.Prevent entry into <br /> waterways, sewers,basements or confined areas. <br /> SMALL SPILL: Cover with DRY earth,DRY sand or other non-combustible material followed with plastic <br /> sheet to minimize spreading or contact with rain.Use clean non-sparking tools to collect material and place it <br /> into loosely covered plastic containers for later disposal. (ERG, 2012) <br /> Protective Clothing <br /> Skin: If chemical is in liquid form,wear appropriate personal protective clothing to prevent skin contact. <br /> Eyes: If chemical.is in liquid form,wear appropriate eye protection to prevent eye contact. <br /> http://l27.0.0.1:54673/report?key=CH2013 4/15/2015 <br />
