Due to the shape of the powder grains, highly spherical, it will make any spillage on the floor very
slippery.
Remove spilt powder immediately with a vacuum cleaner or wipe it up with a damp cloth to pre-
vent slippery floors and skidding risk.
Do NOT use an ordinary vacuum cleaner to clean up powder. ONLY use ATEX certified, or
equivalent, vacuum cleaners, metal powder may contain fine particles that can be ignited due to
static charges.
The user is responsible for mapping out personal risks as to falling, slipping, stumbling and to
handle these risks according to the local working environment laws and regulations.
