For advice, contact the National Poisons Centre on 0800 POISON (0800764766).

SPILLAGE: In case of accidental spillage damp down with sawdust or other absorptive material then sweep up and bury in a safe landfill. Wear protective clothing. Use absorbent material to prevent the spread of the spillage. Block drains if possible. Sweep up contaminated material and place in drums for disposal in a manner acceptable to the appropriate authorities. For major spills, the Fire Service should be informed immediately, followed by local Health Protection Officers.
