4. First Aid Measures
- Ingestion
- Rinse mouth thoroughly with water immediately. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention.
- If victim is conscious and alert, rinse mouth with water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Consult physician.
- Inhalation
- If inhaled, remove from contaminated area to fresh air immediately. Apply artificial respiration if not breathing. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid if cough or other symptoms appear.
- Skin Contact
- Wash with plenty of soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before re-use. Seek medical advice if effects persist.
- Eye Contact
- Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.
- Other Information
- First Aid Facilities: Maintain eyewash fountain in work area. Treat symptomatically and supportively.
5. Firefighting Measures
Suitable extinguishing equipment
- Fire
- For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam.
- HAZCHEM
- Not available.
Special protective equipment and precautions for fire fighters
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear.
6. Accidental Release Measures
- Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
- Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
- Environmental precautions
- Not available.
- Methods and materials for containment and clean up
- Sweep up or absorb material, then place into a suitable clean, closed container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
7. Handling and Storage
- Precautions for safe handling
- Avoid generation or accumulation of dusts. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin, eyes and clothing . Use in well ventilated areas away from all ignition sources. In case of insufficient ventilation,
- wear suitable respiratory equipment. Wash hands and face thoroughly after working with material.
- Conditions for safe storage
- Store away from oxidising agents. Store away from sources of heat or ignition. Store in a cool,dry place. Keep containers closed at all times.
- Storage Temperatures: Store at ±5 °C to ±30 °C.
8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Exposure Standards
- Engineering controls
- Use ventilation adequate to keep exposures (airborne levels of dust, fume, vapour, gas, etc.) below recommended exposure limits.
Personal protective equipment
- Eye and face protection
- The use of a face shield, chemical goggles or safety glasses with side shield protection as appropriate. Must comply with Australian Standards AS 1337 and be selected and used in accordance with AS 1336.
- Skin protection
- Clean impervious clothing should be worn. Clothing for protection against chemicals should comply with AS 3765 Clothing for Protection Against Hazardous Chemicals.
- Body protection
- Footwear: Safety boots in industrial situations is advisory, foot protection should comply with AS 2210, Occupational protective footwear - Guide to selection, care and use.
- Body Protection: Clean clothing or protective clothing should be worn, preferably with and apron. Clothing for protection against chemicals should comply with AS 3765 Clothing for Protection Against Hazardous Chemicals.
- Respiratory protection
- Where ventilation is not adequate, respiratory protection may be required. Avoid breathing dust, vapours or mists. Respiratory protection should comply with AS 1716 - Respiratory Protective Devices and be selected in accordance with AS 1715 - Selection, Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Devices. Filter capacity and respirator type depends on exposure levels. In event of emergency or planned entry into unknown concentrations a positive pressure, full-facepiece SCBA should be used. If respiratory protection is required, institute a complete respiratory protection program including selection, fit testing, training, maintenance and inspection.
