1.2 DANGER — Slipping Hazard
DANGER
SLIPPING HAZARD
Water or hydrogen peroxide spilled on the floor presents a slipping hazard – promptly
clean up the spill. If in doubt as to whether the liquid is water or hydrogen peroxide,
assume spill is hydrogen peroxide. Put on appropriate Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE; refer to Glossary), contain the spill and dilute with water (at least 20 parts water
to one part H

) prior to wiping up. Observe all hydrogen peroxide handling
precautions. Refer to the Sterilant Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for spill containment and
cleanup.
1.3 DANGER — Fire And Explosion Hazard
DANGER
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Liquid hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidant and poses a FIRE, EXPLOSION OR
CONTAINER RUPTURE HAZARD. Avoid excessive heat, contamination or contact with
combustible materials. Clothing, shoes or other combustible materials that have come
in contact with hydrogen peroxide must be immediately and thoroughly washed with
water. Discard shoes contaminated with Sterilant in a fireproof container. If Sterilant is
allowed to dry in the materials, a fire may result. IN CASE OF FIRE, use water only.
CONTAIN SPILLS and dilute with 20 parts water. SEE SAFETY DATA SHEET (SDS) FOR
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. EFFECTS MAY BE DELAYED AND A FIRE COULD START AT
A LATER TIME.
Verify all materials coming in contact with hydrogen peroxide are compatible with
oxidizers. Contact STERIS or the material manufacturer for information on material
compatibility.
This Sterilization Unit is not designed to process flammable liquids. Do not process
liquids, linens, powders or any cellulose materials. Process only those materials
compatible with hydrogen peroxide.
