4. First Aid Measures

Ingestion

If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water. Give 3-4 glasses of water to drink. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek immediate medical attention.

Inhalation

If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Seek medical attention if breathing problems develop.

Skin Contact

In case of skin contact, immediately remove contaminated clothing and wash affected areas with water and soap and then rinse with methylated spirits. Seek immediate medical attention.

Eye Contact

In case of eye contact, hold eyelids open and rinse with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek immediate medical attention.

Other Information

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Wear approved respiratory protection, chemical resistant gloves, protective clothing and safety boots. Evacuate all non-essential personnel from affected area. Do not breathe vapours. Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not walk or touch spilt material. Material may be slippery when spilt.

Environmental precautions

In the event of a major spill, prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses.

Methods and materials for containment and clean up

Stop leak if safe to do so and absorb spill with sand, earth, vermiculite or some other absorbent material. Collect the spilled material and place into a suitable container for disposal. Material may be slippery when spilt.

7. Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling

Use of safe work practices are recommended to avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation of vapours. Food, beverages and tobacco products should not be stored or consumed where this material is in use. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storage or re-use. Provide eyewash fountains and safety showers in close proximity to points of potential exposure.

Conditions for safe storage

Store in a cool, dry and well ventilated area. Keep in original container, tightly closed when not in use. Protect from direct sunlight and high temperatures. Keep away from strong oxidising agents, strong alkalies and acids.

8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Exposure Standards

Engineering controls

Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapour below occupational exposure standards.

Personal protective equipment

Eye and face protection

Eye and face protectors for protection against splashing materials or liquids. See Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1337 for more information.

Skin protection

Nitrile or neoprene gloves. See Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 2161 for more information. When selecting gloves for use against certain chemicals, the degradation resistance, permeation rate and permeation breakthrough time should be considered. Occupational protective clothing (depending on conditions in which it has to be used, in particular as regards the period for which it is worn, which shall be determined on the basis of the seriousness of the risk, the frequency of exposure to the risk, the characteristics of the workstation of each worker and the performance of the protective clothing). See Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 4501 for more information.

Body protection

No information available.

Respiratory protection

When vapours approach the exposure standards then the use of a half-face organic vapour respirator with dust/mist filter is recommended. When vapours exceed the exposure standards, the use of an positive pressure demand self-contained or airline breathing apparatus is recommended. Filter capacity and respirator type depends on exposure levels. If entering spaces where the airborne concentration of a contaminant is unknown then the use of a selfcontained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with positive pressure air supply is recommended. See Australian Standards AS/NZS 1715 and 1716 for more information.

11. Toxicological Information

Acute effects

• CI Basic Red 9 is classified by Safe Work Australia as Carcinogen Category 2.
• May cause cancer.
• Phenol is classified by IARC as Group 3 - Not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans. CI Basic Red 9 (569-61-9) is classified by IARC as Group 2B - Possibly carcinogenic to humans
• .Product may be absorbed through the skin with toxic effects. Prolonged or repeated exposure may lead to irreversible damage to health.
• Overexposure to methanol may cause liver abnormalities, kidney damage, eye damage, lung damage, brain damage and nervous system damage.
• Methanol has been reported to cause death or serious irreversible injury such as blindness in humans.
• Ingestion of methanol, even in small amounts, can cause blindness and death. Onset of symptoms may be delayed for 18 - 24 hours and are similar in affect to ethanol poisoning.
