Hazards from Combustion: Oxides of sulfur, nitrogen oxides, and sodium oxides released under intense heating
Protective Equipment: Wear full protective suit and approved self-contained breathing apparatus
Advice for Firefighters: Move containers away from fire, use water spray to cool exposed containers, prevent runoff from contaminating water sources
Personal Precautions: Use personal protective equipment, avoid breathing dust, ensure adequate ventilation
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe, do not allow product to enter drains or watercourses
Clean-up Methods: Pick up mechanically, sweep or shovel material into suitable container for disposal, avoid creating dust, clean contaminated area with wet cloths
Handling: Use with adequate ventilation, avoid dust generation, direct contact with skin and eyes not recommended, wash hands thoroughly after handling
Storage: Store in closed containers in cool, dry, well-ventilated area, keep away from moisture, strong acids and oxidizers, maintain product integrity through regular inspection
Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits established specifically for sodium saccharin by OSHA or ACGIH
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust or general ventilation to control airborne dust, recommended if workplace concentrations rise
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety goggles, chemical-resistant gloves, dust mask or respirator if exposure is likely to exceed recommended limits, protective clothing in bulk handling situations
