Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Refer immediately for medical attention.
Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell.
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer immediately for medical attention.

Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide or alcohol-resistant foam.
Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Risk of fire and explosion on contact with acids or metals. Heating will cause rise in pressure with risk of bursting.
Use dry sand, special powder. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Sweep spilled substance into covered plastic containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.
Prevent further spillage or leakage if it is safe to do so. Do not let the chemical enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
Collect and arrange disposal. Keep the chemical in suitable and closed containers for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Adhered or collected material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations.
NO contact with acids or heavy metals. Do NOT expose to heat, friction or shock. Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.
Separated from food and feedstuffs, acids and metals. See Chemical Dangers. Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing. Store in an area without drain or sewer access.

See Notes.Decomposes on heating above 275°C . This produces toxic fumes. This generates fire and explosion hazard. Reacts with copper, lead, silver, mercury and carbon disulfide. This produces particularly shock-sensitive compounds. Reacts with acids. This produces toxic and explosive hydrogen azide. See Notes.

The substance is mildly irritating to the eyes and upper respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the cardiovascular system and central nervous system. This may result in lowering of blood pressure, cardiac disorders and central nervous system disorders. Ingestion of large amounts could cause death. Inhalation of dust may cause asthma-like reactions (RADS).

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.

In presence of heat, acids and water sodium azide is readily transformed to hydrazoic acid, the vapour of which may be present whenever the salt is handled.Inhalation of high concentrations of hydrazoic acid may cause severe respiratory irritation including lung oedema.Decomposition of sodium azide produces large amount of gases. This generates explosion hazard in confined spaces.
