Avoid contact with material that generates respirable dust unless proper PPE is used.
Do not walk through spilled material.
l
Use normal clean up procedures. Ventilate closed spaces before entering.
to waterways and sewers.
l
Avoid generating dust.
Carefully shovel or sweep up spilled material and place in suitable container.
The use of water wash is not recommended. Wet material can cause a surface to
become very slippery.
l
Refer to Section 8 - Exposure Controls/Personal Protection and Section 13 - Disposal
Considerations.
l
Use only with adequate ventilation. Use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) Do not breathe dust. Talc can cause slippery conditions. Wash thoroughly with
soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, or using tobacco.
l
Keep container closed. Store in a dry, well-ventilated place.
