Section 6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

For non-emergency personnel : No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without
suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and
unprotected personnel from entering. In the case of aerosols being
ruptured, care should be taken due to the rapid escape of the
pressurized contents and propellant. If a large number of containers
are ruptured, treat as a bulk material spillage according to the
instructions in the clean-up section. Do not touch or walk through
spilled material. Shut off all ignition sources. No flares, smoking or
flames in hazard area. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Provide adequate
ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate.
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment.
For emergency responders : If specialised clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of
any information in Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable materials. See
also the information in "For non-emergency personnel".

Environmental precautions : Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil,
waterways, drains and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the

 Rexona Women Antiperspirant Deodorant Cotton Fresh Page:5/12

product has caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil

or air).

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Small spill : Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Use spark-
proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Dilute with water and mop
up if water-soluble. Alternatively, or if water-insoluble, absorb with an
inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container.
Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Large spill : Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Use spark-
proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Approach release from
upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or
confined areas. Wash spillages into an effluent treatment plant or
proceed as follows. Contain and collect spillage with non-
combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or
diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to
local regulations (see Section 13). Dispose of via a licensed waste
disposal contractor. Contaminated absorbent material may pose the
same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see Section 1 for emergency
contact information and Section 13 for waste disposal.

Section 7. Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Protective measures : Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8).
