Further information

- Leaking gas fire: Do not extinguish, unless leak can be stopped safely.

- Evacuate personnel to safe areas.

- Approach from upwind.

- Protect intervention team with a water spray as they approach the fire.

- Keep containers and surroundings cool with water spray.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Advice for non-emergency personnel

- Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

Advice for emergency responders

- Ventilate the area.

- Suppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet.

- Vapours are heavier than air and can cause suffocation by reducing oxygen available for breathing.

- Cover the spreading liquid with foam in order to slow down the evaporation.

- Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition.

- Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.

Environmental precautions

- Should not be released into the environment.

- Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

- Suppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet.

- Soak up with inert absorbent material.

- Suitable material for picking up.

- Earth

- Dry sand

- Shovel into suitable container for disposal.

Reference to other sections

- Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8 of SDS

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

- Ensure adequate ventilation.

- Wear protective gloves/ protective clothing/ eye protection/ face protection.

- Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. No smoking.

- Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.

- Use explosion-proof electrical/ ventilating/ lighting equipment.

- Ground/bond container and receiving equipment.

- Use only non-sparking tools.

- Take precautionary measures against static discharge.

- Purge piping circuits and equipment with nitrogen.

- To avoid thermal decomposition, do not overheat.

Hygiene measures
