| Hazards and Protection. | |
| Storage | Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. |
| WHMIS | B3 D1B D2A |
| Handling | Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well ventilated area. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid contact with heat, sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames. |
| Protection | Eyes: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166. Skin: Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure. Clothing: Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure. |
| Respirators | Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator when necessary. |
| Small spills/leaks | Absorb spill with inert material, (e.g., dry sand or earth), then place into a chemical waste container. Clean up spills immediately, using the appropriate protective equipment. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. |

| Fire fighting | Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. To extinguish fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or alcohol-resistant foam. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. | |||
| Fire potential | Moderate fire hazard, when exposed to heat, flames (sparks) or powerful oxidizers. | |||
| Hazards | When heated, vapors may form explosive mixtures with air: indoors, outdoors, and sewers explosion hazards. Containers may explode when heated. | |||
| Combustion products | During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases, including hydrogen chloride, may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. | |||

| Exposure effects | Possible cancer hazard based on tests with laboratory animals. May cause liver and kidney damage. 1,2,3-Trichloropropane is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence of malignant tumor formation at multiple sites in multiple species of experimental animals. |
| Ingestion | Harmful if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. |
| Inhalation | Harmful if inhaled. Causes respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation of vapors may cause drowsiness and dizziness. |
| Skin | May cause skin irritation. Harmful if absorbed through the skin. No data found on whether or not this chemical would be likely to cause an allergic skin reaction. |
| Eyes | May cause eye irritation. |
First aid |
|
| Ingestion | Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately. If conscious drink water, then induce vomiting. If unconscious, immediately take victim to a physician and do NOT attempt to induce vomiting. |
| Inhalation | Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. |
| Skin | Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. |
| Eyes | Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately. |
