In case of fire, water should be applied by the sprinkler system or by hose from a safe distance, preferably with a fog nozzle. Foam may be necessary instead if the peroxide is diluted in a low density flammable solvent. Portable extinguishers should not be used except for very small fires. Peroxides threatened by fire should be wetted from a safe distance for cooling. /Peroxides, Organic and Inorganic/

Generally, peroxides should be stored in their original containers in a ventilated place separated from other materials and protected from flame, static electricity, sparks, sources of heat (eg steam-pipes, radiators or direct sunlight), shock or friction. Storage areas should be fire-proof with explosion-proof electrical equipment. The max recommended storage temperature is 38 °C or less. /Peroxides, organic/

Spills should be cleaned up promptly using non-sparking tools & an inert moist diluent such as vermiculite or sand. Sweepings may be placed in open containers or polyethylene bags and the area washed with water and detergent. Spilled, contaminated, waste or questionable peroxides should be destroyed. Incineration or burning is generally preferred. Burning may be done by spreading waste in a trench and igniting it from a distance. /Peroxides, organic/

SRP: At the time of review, criteria for land treatment or burial (sanitary landfill) disposal practices are subject to significant revision. Prior to implementing land disposal of waste residue (including waste sludge), consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices.

Rigid containers of uncertain age or condition should not be opened but carefully burned from a safe distance. /Peroxides, organic/

Incineration ... is generally preferred /method of destroying peroxides/. ... Most organic peroxides can also be hydrolyzed by adding them slowly with stirring to about ten times their weight of cold 10% sodium hydroxide soln. The reaction may require several hours. /Peroxides, organic/

Emergency eyewash facilities should be provided. ... Should be washed promptly from the skin to prevent irritation. /Peroxides, org/

The safety of many organic peroxides is greatly improved by dispersing them in solvent or non-solvent diluents that absorb the heat of decomposition (eg water or plasticizer) or reduce shock sensitivity. ... Process equipment should be electrically bonded together and grounded. Non-sparking equipment should be used for handling. Peroxides must never be mixed directly with accelerators or other reactive materials, added to hot materials or placed in heated reaction vessels. Contamination should be carefully avoided by keeping the work area and equipment clean, handling peroxides in vessels of glass, polyethylene, teflon or stainless steel (304 or 316) to prevent contamination by corrosion, keeping containers closed, and disposing of excess peroxide promptly, never returning it to the original container. ... Smoking should be prohibited. Peroxides should not be stored in refrigerators containing food or drink. Laboratory reactions should be carried out behind a safety shield. /Organic peroxides/

SRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses in industry is conflicting. The benefit or detrimental effects of wearing contact lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including the form of the substance, characteristics and duration of the exposure, the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the lenses. However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive properties are such that the wearing of contact lenses would be harmful to the eye. In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. In any event, the usual eye protection equipment should be worn even when contact lenses are in place.

Excerpt from ERG Guide 145 [Organic Peroxides (Heat and Contamination Sensitive)]:

Persons handling organic peroxides should use safety glasses with side shields, goggles or face shields for eye protection. Emergency eyewash facilities should be provided. Gloves, aprons & other protective clothing as necessary should be used to prevent skin contact. Clothing & equipment that generate static electricity should be avoided. /Peroxides, organic/

CAN CAUSE SEVERE SKIN BURNS.

Prolonged skin contact or splashes in the eyes may cause injury. Some organic peroxide vapors are irritating and may also cause headaches, intoxication similar to alcohol and lung edema if inhaled in high concentrations. /Organic peroxides/

... TOXIC BY INGESTION.

The main toxic effect of most peroxides is irritation of skin, mucous membranes and eyes. Prolonged or intense skin contact or splashes in the eyes may cause severe injury. ... /Peroxides, Organic and Inorganic/

Basic treatment: Establish a patent airway. Suction if necessary. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilations if necessary. Administer oxygen by nonrebreather mask at 10 to 15 L/min. Monitor for pulmonary edema and treat if necessary ... . Monitor for shock and treat if necessary ... . Anticipate seizures and treat if necessary ... . For eye contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. Irrigate each eye continuously with normal saline during transport ... . Do not use emetics. For ingestion, rinse mouth and administer 5 ml/kg up to 200 ml of water for dilution if the patient can swallow, has a strong gag reflex, and does not drool .... . Do not attempt to neutralize because of exothermic reaction. Cover skin burns with dry, sterile dressings after decontamination ... . /Organic peroxides/

Advanced treatment: Consider orotracheal or nasotracheal intubation for airway control in the patient who is unconscious, has severe pulmonary edema, or is in respiratory arrest. Early intubation, at the first sign of upper airway obstruction, may be necessary. Positive pressure ventilation techniques with a bag valve mask device may be beneficial. Monitor cardiac rhythm and treat arrhythmias if necessary ... . Start an IV with D5W /SRP: "To keep open", minimal flow rate/. Use lactated Ringer's if signs of hypovolemia are present. Watch for signs of fluid overload. Consider drug therapy for pulmonary edema ... . For hypotension with signs of hypovolemia, administer fluid cautiously. Watch for signs of fluid overload ... . Treat seizures with diazepam (Valium) ... . Use proparacaine hydrochloride to assist eye irrigation ... . /Organic peroxides/

Peroxides should be washed promptly from the skin to prevent irritation. In the case of eye contact, the eyes should be flushed immediately with large amounts of water, and medical attention should be obtained. ... Medical attention should also be obtained in case of accidental ingestion. ... /Peroxides, Organic and Inorganic/
