1.10.2 Storing chemicals
•
Chemicals must be stored in the appropriately marked original
plastic containers.
•
Do not store chemicals near grease, flammable substances,
oils, oxidising substances, acids or salts.
•
Empty and full containers must be kept closed, and stored
exclusively in areas where national regulations for the
prevention of accidents apply to storage.
1.10.3 Procedure in case of an emergency
The general safety regulations and regulations for the procedure
in case of an emergency as specified in EN 12671 (D) apply.
Actions in case of an emergency:
•
Ventilate the installation location immediately.
•
Wear protective clothing (safety goggles, gloves, respirator
and/or self-contained breathing apparatus, protective apron).
•
Implement initial help measures:
– In case of contact with the eyes, rinse immediately with
plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a doctor.
– In case of contact with the skin, wash immediately with
plenty of water. Remove all contaminated clothing.
– In case gas is inhaled, move the casualty to a source of
fresh air. Avoid taking deep breaths. Consult a doctor (look
out for a racing pulse, as vasodilating treatment may be
required).
•
Spillages:
– In case of contact with clothing, remove the clothing
immediately and wash with plenty of water. Chemical
spillages in buildings must be washed away with water.
•
Firefighting:
– Aqueous solutions of chlorine dioxide are not directly
flammable. Extinguish the surrounding fire with water,
preferably using a fire sprinkler system to dilute the ambient
gas. Inform the fire brigade of the installed production
capacity and any harmful starting substances that are being
stored (precursor substances) so that precautions can be
taken regarding possible risks.
For emergency phone numbers, please see the acceptance
report.
