particularly at or below ground level.
2. Eliminate every possible source of ignition.
3. Use appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE).

5. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not breathe vapors or
gas.
6. Prevent entry to sewers and public waters.
7. Stop the source of the release, if safe to do so. Consider the use of
water spray to disperse vapors.
