SECTION 5: FIRE- FIGHTING MEASURES

5.1) Suitable extinguishing media.
Spray large quantities of water.

5.2) Specific hazard arising from the chemicals.

Presence of the product may intensify fire and increase the burning rates of other materials. The product emits toxic fumes of
chlorine in fire. Upon decomposition, the product emits white fumes.

5.3) Special protective actions for fire-fighters.

Keep the safe/unharmed containers cool by spraying water on them. Take the intact containers away from the fire in open air.
Upon rise in temperature, the product starts to decompose leading to expansion inside the container and may cause explosion.
Avoid spraying water directly on exposed or damaged containers. Wear protective suits equipped with oxygen supply to avoid
exposure to harmful chlorine gas, cover full body to avoid exposure to chemicals.

SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURE.

6.1) Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedure.
On accidental spills and release of the product, firstly avoid unprotected people away from the spill. Equip protective equipment
as per guided in section 8 of safety data sheet. Do not let the product touch your eyes, skin and clothes. Avoid breathing the
powdery dust/chlorine. Ensure adequate ventilation around the spill, do not smoke and keep the product away from any
ignition source. For large accidental spills contact emergency services to act promptly .

6.2) Environmental Precautions.

Prevent the spill from getting into waterways, sewers and drains. Do not let water touch the spill. The material is very toxic to
aquatic life and causes long lasting effects. Monitor the chlorine levels in water and pH before discharge.

6.3) Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up.

• Dry spills: Use brush, plastic broom or plastic shovel to collect the spill in a separate HDPE container. Use non-sparking tools
for cleaning. Avoid using metal container to collect the spill. Avoid mixing the spill with any other chemical, use soil as an
absorbent to reduce the chemical effect.
• Wet spills: If the spill is wet, collect the spill carefully with protective equipment in separate open top HDPE containers and
wait for the spill to neutralize for further disposal. The spill can also be neutralized by adding it into very large volume of
water in a fibre tank. Use proper protective equipment to handle wet spills to avoid direct exposure. Mark and label the
contaminated containers.

SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE.

7.1) Precautions for safe handling.
Wear all the necessary personal protective equipment for safe handling of the product. Cover eyes, skin and mouth/nose for
minimizing the exposure as advised in section 8. Handle the product using dry plastic tools. Don’t add water into the product,
add product to large quantities of water only. Do not mix it with any other chemicals. Eating, drinking, smoking is prohibited in
the storage area. Thoroughly wash hands, eyes and contacted surface after use.

7.2) Conditions of Safe Storage, Including Any Incompatibilities.

Store it in cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid direct sunlight. Keep out of the reach of children. Avoid storage around
flammable chemicals and away from electrical equipment that can cause spark. Store only in original containers. Keep the
container tightly closed to minimize the release of substance to the environment. Re-tie the liner bag inside the container after
each use.

SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION.

8.1) Control parameters.
Regulatory exposure limits:
1) Calcium Hypochlorite as per NIOSH REL guidelines, (37-48mg/m3)
2) Chlorine as per NIOSH REL guidelines, C 0.5 ppm (1.45 mg/m3) [15-minute] (Chlorine | NIOSH | CDC, 2018).
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health standards helps to reduce the health hazards. It is requested to
minimize the possible exposure limits for safety.

8.2) Appropriate engineering controls

Keep the storage area well-ventilated and open. Use local exhaust ventilation when high humidity or high temperature. Ensure
that Eye-washer and safety shower are available.

8.3) Individual protection measures such as personal protective equipment (PPE).

Eye/face protection : Protect eyes with protective chemical glasses that does not allow the air to pass. Keep safety
eye-washer/safety shower for emergency usage.
Skin protection : Wear full body protective clothing to minimize the contact with skin. Wear easily available
industrial coveralls to avoid exposure of skin with the product. Wear impervious gloves to cover
hand. Wear protective boots. Re-use everything after thoroughly washing it.
Respiratory protection : Wear a N95 mask to cover the mouth and nose to avoid dust particles to entre the respiratory
track. During emergency where fumes are produced
Thermal Hazard : During emergency where fumes are produced, wear fire protective suit covering the whole
body. Fire protective glasses and acid gas cartridges with N95 filters shall be used to cover to
protect from toxic fume exposure. Wear protective boots.
Protection type : PVC, Butyl or Natural rubber or Nitrile for gloves, boots and apron/protective suit.
