First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Remove affected person from exposure area to fresh air, provide oxygen or artificial respiration if breathing is difficult, seek medical advice if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse, seek medical attention if irritation occurs
Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting eyelids occasionally, consult a physician if symptoms persist
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, give water to drink if the person is conscious, contact poison control or seek medical attention if large amounts were swallowed or if symptoms appear
Most important symptoms: Local irritation at contact sites, rare risk of neurological symptoms after significant repeated exposure

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, carbon dioxide, foam, or dry chemical to extinguish
Unsuitable Media: Do not use water jet as it may spread the product
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen chloride fumes
Fire Fighting Instructions: Firefighters should wear full protective clothing and a self-contained breathing apparatus to prevent exposure to gases and particulates released in a fire
Special Hazards: Fine dust may present an explosion hazard if suspended in air in sufficient concentration under certain conditions

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Avoid creation and inhalation of dust, ventilate the area, discharge sources of ignition, wear suitable protective equipment including gloves, goggles, and dust mask
Environmental Precautions: Prevent large amounts from entering drains, sewers, or watercourses.
Spill Cleanup Methods: Sweep up material carefully, avoid raising dust, place in suitable, labeled containers for disposal, wash spill site thoroughly

Handling and Storage

Handling Precautions: Avoid contact with skin and eyes, prevent dust formation, use only with adequate ventilation, wash hands before eating or drinking
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat, and sources of ignition, keep container tightly closed
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, acids, and bases may react with pyridoxine hydrochloride
Special Requirements: Do not store with food or feed, label all storage containers appropriately, practice good hygiene in handling area

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limit values established by OSHA, ACGIH, or NIOSH for pyridoxine hydrochloride
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, maintain airborne concentrations below nuisance dust limits of 10 mg/m³ (for total inhalable dust)
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety glasses with side shields, impervious gloves, lab coat or other appropriate protective clothing, NIOSH-approved dust respirator if dusting occurs
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before eating, drinking, or smoking, remove and clean contaminated clothing before reuse, keep work area clean and dust-free
