First Aid Measures

If Inhaled: Move person to fresh air, keep comfortable for breathing, seek medical advice if symptoms develop.
If on Skin: Remove contaminated clothing, rinse skin with water for several minutes, wash with soap, seek medical attention if irritation persists.
If in Eyes: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present, continue rinsing, seek medical assistance if irritation continues.
If Swallowed: Rinse mouth, drink water if conscious, do not induce vomiting, seek immediate medical help.

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray, or foam.
Unsuitable Media: Direct water jet in confined fires can spread burning material.
Specific Hazards: Releases irritating gases or fumes under fire conditions, such as hydrogen chloride, phosphorus oxides.
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective suit under fire conditions.
Special Firefighting Procedures: Cool containers exposed to flames, prevent runoff from fire control from entering sewers, avoid breathing in combustion products.

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear suitable gloves, goggles, and clothing to prevent contact, provide adequate ventilation.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spill from entering drains, watercourses, or soil.
Containment/Cleanup: Absorb spill with inert materials such as sand or earth, collect in containers for disposal, wash spill area with water and detergent, ventilate the area after cleanup.

Handling and Storage

Safe Handling: Use in well-ventilated area, avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing, avoid inhaling vapors, take precautions to avoid static discharge.
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed containers, keep container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, keep away from heat, sparks, and flames.
Status Incompatibility: Store away from strong acids, bases, and strong oxidizing agents.

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific OSHA, ACGIH, or NIOSH exposure limits set for TDCP; minimize exposure as prudent.
Engineering Controls: Provide local exhaust ventilation to minimize exposure.
Respiratory Protection: Wear approved respirator for vapor/dust.
Eye Protection: Use chemical splash goggles.
Skin Protection: Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling, do not eat, drink, or smoke in work area, remove contaminated clothing after use.
