4. First Aid Measures

Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly with water immediately, repeat until all traces of product have been removed.
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Seek medical advice if effects persist.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove from contaminated area to fresh air immediately. Apply artificial respiration if not breathing. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Immediately obtain medical aid if cough or other symptoms appear.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected skin with soap and water. If irritation occurs seek medical advice. Wash clothing before reuse.
Eye Contact: Immediately irrigate with copious quantity of water for at least 15 minutes. Eyelids to be held open. Seek medical attention.
Other Information: First Aid Facilities: Maintain eyewash fountain in work area.

5. Firefighting Measures

Suitable extinguishing equipment

Fire: Small fire: Use dry chemical, CO₂, water spray or appropiate foam.
If safe to do so, move undamaged containers from the fire area. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after the fire is out.
Large Fire: Large fire: use water spray, fog or foam.
HAZCHEM: Not available.

Special protective equipment and precautions for fire fighters

Solutions will not burn or support combustion. However contact with aluminium, zinc or tin may generate explosive hydrogen gas. Decomposition products include sodium oxide and oxides of carbon. Fire fighters and others who may be exposed to combustion products during fire should wear full protective clothing including positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Wear SCBA with full face-piece, operated in positive pressure mode when fighting fire.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Ensure adequate ventilation. Use personal protective equipment. For personal protection see section 8.
Environmental precautions: Prevent from entering into drains, ditches or rivers.
Prevent spill from entering waterways. Restrict access to area. Remove chemicals that can react with the spilled material. Spills are slippery
Methods and materials for containment and clean up: Prevent spill from entering waterways. Restrict access to area. Remove chemicals that can react with the spilled material. Spills are slippery. Use inert material such as sand or earth to contain spill or leak.
Absorb spills with chemical absorber or vermiculite and dispose of in accordance with local regulations. Absorb or contain liquid with sand, earth or spill control material. Shovel up using non sparking tools and place in a labelled, sealable container for subsequent safe disposal. Put leaking containers in a labelled drum or overdrum.
Prevent from entering into drains, ditches or rivers.

7. Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling: Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
Conditions for safe storage: Keep container tightly closed and in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Keep away from direct sunlight.

8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Exposure Standards

Material	TWA ppm	TWA mg/m³	STEL ppm	STEL mg/m³
Sodium Hydroxide	-	2	-	-

Engineering controls: Use ventilation adequate to keep exposures (airborne levels of dust, fume, vapor, 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.
Hand Protection: Ensure hand protection complies with AS 2161, Occupational protective gloves - Selection, use and maintenance.
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: If engineering controls are not effective in controlling airborne exposure then an approved respirator with a replaceable vapor/ mist filter should be used. Refer to relevant regulations for further information concerning respiratory protective requirements. Reference should be made to Australian Standards AS/ NZS 1715, Selection, Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Devices; and AS/NZS 1716, Respiratory Protective Devices, in order to make any necessary changes for individual circumstances.
