=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:EYE: OBJECT IS TO FLUSH MATL OUT IMMED & THEN SEEK MED ATTN.
    IMMED FLUSH EYES W/DIRECTED STREAM OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN
    WHILE FORCIBLY HOLDING EYELIDS APART TO ENSURE COMPLETE IRRIGATION
    OF ALL E YE & LID TISSUE. WASHING EYES W/IN ONE MIN IS ESSENTIAL TO
    ACHIEVE MAX EFTIVENESS. SEEK MED ATTN IMMED. SKIN: SEEK MED ATTN
    IMMED. FLUSH THOROUGHLY W/COOL WATER UNDER SHOWER WHILE REMOVING
    (ING 4)

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Extinguishing Media:USE WATER SPRAY, FOG, FOAM, DRY CHEMICAL OR CARBON
    DIOXIDE OR OTHER AGENTS SUITABLE FOR MATERIALS IN SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE
    EQUIPMENT . ACID CONTAMINATION WILL PRODUCE VERY IRRITATING FUMES
    SIMILAR TO CHLORINE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE SOLNS DECOMPOSE WHEN
    HEATED. DECOMP PRODS MAY CAUSE CNTNR TO RUPTURE OR EXPLODE.
    VIGOROUS RXN POSS W/ORG MATLS OR OXIDIZING AGENTS (SUPDAT)

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:DO NOT ALLOW SPILLED MATL TO ENTER SEWERS OR
    STREAMS. FLUSH W/WATER TO DILUTE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE & PUMP INTO
    POLYETHYLENE CNTNRS FOR DISP. AVOID HEAT & CONTAM W/ACID MATLS. DO
    NOT USE COMBUST MATLS S UCH AS SAWDUST TO ABSORB HYPOCHLORITE. (ING
    14)
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:DO NOT STORE ADJACENT TO CHEMICALS
    THAT MAY REACT IF SPILLAGE OCCURS. COMPLY WITH DOT REGULATIONS WHEN
    SHIPPED.
Other Precautions:IF CLOSED CNTNRS BECOME HEATED, VENT TO RELEASE
    DECOMP PRODS (MAINLY OXYGEN UNDER NORMAL DECOMP). DO NOT MIX OR
    CONTAMINATE W/AMMONIA, HYDROCARBONS, ACIDS, ALCOHOLS OR ETHERS. DO
    NOT REUSE CNTNRS: PRO D RESIDUES MAY REMAIN IN (ING 15)

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR FOLLOWING
    MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATIONS, SHOULD BE USED AS A PRECAUTIONARY
    MEASURE WHERE AIRBORNE CONTAMINANTS MAY OCCUR.
Ventilation:PROVIDE GOOD GENERAL ROOM VENTILATION PLUS LOCAL EXHAUST AT
    POINTS OF EMISSION.
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS SUCH AS RUB/NEOPRENE/VINYL.
Eye Protection:ANSI APPRVD CHEM WORKERS GOGGS (ING 19)
Other Protective Equipment:ANSI APPROVED EYE WASH & DELUGE SHOWER .
    WEAR IMPERVIOUS PROTECTIVE CLOTHING INCLUDING RUBBER SAFETY SHOES.
Work Hygienic Practices:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
