HAZARD (GHS) |
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION |
|
| There are no lebel elements allocated to this category / Fetal if swallowed / Fetal if contact with skin / cause sever skin burn and eye damage / Cause serious eye damage / Cause damage to organ (circulatory system, liver) / Very toxic to aquatic life / very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects |
|
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Safety shower and eye bath. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
GENERAL HYGIENE MEASURES
Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Wash thoroughly after handling.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Respiratory Protection: Government approved respirator.
Hand Protection: Compatible chemical-resistant gloves.
Eye Protection: Chemical safety goggles. |
 |
HANDLING
Directions for Safe Handling: Do not breathe dust. Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure.
STORAGE
Conditions of Storage: Keep tightly closed. Store in a cool dry place.
Incompatible Materials: Azide reacts with many heavy metals such as lead, copper, mercury, silver, gold to form explosive compounds. Copper and lead azides are more sensitive than nitroglycerine. Azide reacts with metal halides to give a range of metal azide halides, many of which are explosive. Incompatible with chromyl chloride, hydrazine, bromine, carbon disulfide, dimethyl sulfate, dibromomalonitrile.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS:
Heat sensitive. |
|
PERSONAL PRECAUTION PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED IN CASE OF LEAK OR SPILL
Evacuate area.
PROCEDURE(S) OF PERSONAL PRECAUTION(S)
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, rubber boots, and heavy rubber gloves.
METHODS FOR CLEANING UP
Sweep up, place in a bag and hold for waste disposal. Avoid raising dust. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is complete. |
|
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Suitable: Dry chemical powder.
Unsuitable: Do not use water.
SPECIAL RISKS
Specific Hazard(s): Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions.
Explosion Hazards: Container explosion may occur under fire conditions. Azide reacts with many heavy metals such as lead, copper, mercury, silver, gold to form explosive compounds. Copper and lead azides are more sensitive than nitroglycerine. Azide reacts with metal halides to give a range of metal azide halides, many of which are explosive. Incompatible with chromyl chloride, hydrazine, bromine, carbon disulfide, dimethyl sulfate, dibromomalonitrile. An explosion occurred when a mixture of sodium azide, methylene chloride, dimethyl sulfoxide, and sulfuric acid were being concentrated on a rotary evaporator.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIREFIGHTERS
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes. |
|
AFTER INHALATION
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
AFTER SKIN CONTACT
In case of skin contact, flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Call a physician.
AFTER EYE CONTACT
In case of contact with eyes, flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Assure adequate flushing by separating the eyelids with fingers. Call a physician.
AFTER INGESTION
If swallowed, wash out mouth with water provided person is conscious. Call a physician immediately. |
