6. Accidental Release Measures

Ventilate area of leak or spill. Keep unnecessary and unprotected people away from area of spill. Wear appropriate
personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Contain and recover liquid when possible. Do not flush
caustic residues to the sewer. Residues from spills can be diluted with water, neutralized with dilute acid such as
acetic, hydrochloric or sulfuric. Absorb neutralized caustic residue on clay, vermiculite or other inert substance and
package in a suitable container for disposal.
US Regulations (CERCLA) require reporting spills and releases to soil, water and air in excess of reportable
quantities. The toll free number for the US Coast Guard National Response Center is (800) 424-8802.

on inert absorbent material and transfer to suitable, labelled,
covered containers for recovery or disposal. Contaminated
material may pose the same hazards as the chemical; treat
with caution. Flush area of spill

Small Spill:
Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading
water on
the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements.
