EMERGENCY

     EMERGENCY RESPONSE TECHNIQUE AND KNOWLEDGE


FIRE HAZARDS AND RESPONSE

1. Volatile flammable liquids of which its vapor may travel considerable distance to a source of
ignition.

2. Fire impingement on solvent containing equipment can result in explosive decomposition.

3. Combustion products are irritating and considered hazardous.

EXTINGUISHING MATERIALS:

- CO2;
- Water Spray
- Dry Chemical

EXTINGUISHING TECHNIQUES:

- stay upwind
- avoid physical contact
- wear respiratory protection and appropriate protective clothing

If there is potential for container rupture or heat impingement causing explosive decomposition,
consider evacuating for a radius of 50m. Due to the fact of fire impingement on container or
equipment containing solvent causing explosion, the responder should consider extinguishing the
fire first.

SPILL RESPONSE

The following precaution steps to be observed:

1. Proceed with caution


2. Restrict access to spill area
3. Keep unprotected personnel upwind of spill
4. Avoid contact with spill product
5. Eliminate ignition source
6. Notify proper authority as specified in this document
7. Be cognizant of the extreme volatile and flammable nature of most solvent while planning for
response.

USE OF WATER IN EMERGENCY

In considering the use of water in emergency response, the user should be aware of the
following:

1. Water can be useful for cooling equipment subject to fire impingement.

2. Solvent (Alcohol base) and water are completely soluble in each other, and water spray can be
useful in knocking down the vapor. However, water spray directed on a pool of liquid solvent will
increase its evolution of vapor until significant mixing and dilution of the liquid solvent have
occurred.

3. Water/solvent mixture of less than 22:1 ratio can support combustion in open area. In closed
system, ratio up to 100:1 is required to eliminate combustion potential.
