4. First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. Seek medical attention if cough or irritation persists.
Skin Contact: Wash affected area thoroughly with water and soap. Remove contaminated clothing.
Eye Contact: Rinse carefully under running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Seek immediate medical attention if irritation develops.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water to dilute, and seek medical advice if discomfort persists.
Important Symptoms: Irritation, coughing, redness of skin and eyes
Medical Attention: Physician should treat symptomatically.

5. Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, CO2, foam
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Strong water jets
Special Hazards: Combustible dust; dust clouds may explode in confined spaces.
Combustion Products: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, irritating gases
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear full protective equipment with self-contained breathing apparatus.
Advice for Firefighters: Cool drums and containers with water spray. Avoid spreading dust.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Prevent formation of dust clouds. Ventilate area. Wear appropriate protective gear.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spill from entering drains or watercourses.
Methods for Cleanup: Vacuum or sweep up spills with explosion-proof equipment. Avoid dry sweeping. Use wet methods if possible.
Containment: Collect in labeled containers for disposal. Clean affected area with water.
Disposal of Cleanup Materials: Dispose of gathered material as described in Section 13.

7. Handling and Storage

Handling Procedures: Only use in well-ventilated spaces. Wear protective equipment to avoid eye, skin, and respiratory contact. Avoid generating dust. Remove ignition sources.
Safe Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry area in tightly sealed, labeled containers. Store away from incompatible materials, especially strong oxidizers and sources of heat. Minimize quantity kept in work areas.
Special Storage Requirements: Keep away from moisture to prevent caking. Maintain room temperature.

8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No established exposure limits for most cheese powder ingredients; consider nuisance dust limits (OSHA PEL: 15 mg/m3 total dust, 5 mg/m3 respirable)
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, dust collection devices
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical safety goggles or face shield, dust mask or N95 respirator, impervious gloves, lab coat or apron
