WARNING:
|
• Sulphur
dust suspended in air ignites easily emitting asphyxiating fumes.
• Excessive dust can result in an explosion in confined
areas. Must keep sulphur away from
heat sources, sparks, flames, friction, oxidizing materials, and static
electricity.
• Avoid contact with eyes.

|
470 -

|
|
The
primary hazard is that the dust suspended in air ignites easily and can
result in explosion in confined areas, ignition can be caused by hear
sources, friction, oxidizing materials, and static electricity.
|
|
Fire
Fighting:
|
Burning
sulphur converts to sulphur
dioxide. Fire should be approached and fought from up wind position.
|
|
Fire
Fighting Media:
|
Water
Fog Spray***, Sand or Carbon Dioxide.
|
|
Note:
|
***
Solid stream of water must never be used because of the possibility of
dispersing dust clouds which could potentially cause an explosion. Fire
will rekindle until mass is cooled below 310oF (154oC).
To prevent re-ignition surrounding area must also be cooled with water mist
as well.
