4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Poison Information Centres in each State capital city can provide additional assistance for scheduled poisons. Ring 13 11 26
Ingestion: Immediately rinse mouth with water. Give water to drink. Do NOT induce vomiting. If
vomiting occurs, place victim’s face downwards, head lower than hips to prevent vomit entering lungs. Seek immediate medical assistance.
Eye Contact: Immediately irrigate with copious quantities of water for at least 15 minutes. Eyelids to be held open. Seek medical assistance if irritation persists.
Skin Contact: Immediately wash contaminated skin with plenty of water. For gross contamination, immediately drench with water and remove clothing. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before re-use.
Inhalation: Remove victim from exposure – avoid becoming a casualty. Remove contaminated clothing and loosen remaining clothing. Allow patient to assume most comfortable position and keep warm. Keep at rest until fully recovered.
Important Symptoms: See section 11 for more detailed information on health effects and symptoms.
Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire fighting further advice: Not combustible. Fire fighters to wear self-contained breathing apparatus if risk of exposure to vapour or products of combustion.
Suitable extinguishing media: Water fog (or if unavailable fine water spray), foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder).
Special Hazards: Non flammable. Not a fire hazard.
Hazchem Code: None allocated.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Slippery when spilt. Contain using sand and soil – prevent runoff into drains and waterways. Use absorbent (soil or sand, inert material, vermiculite). Collect and seal in properly labeled containers for disposal.
Wear personal protective equipment as detailed in section 8 of the SDS.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Storage: Ensure containers are adequately labelled and sealed when not in use. Before use carefully read the product label. Safe working practices are recommended.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
National occupational exposure limits.
No exposure standards entered for this product.
Biological Limits: No biological limits entered for this product.
As published by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission (Worksafe Australia).
Peak limitation – a ceiling concentration which should not be exceeded over a measurement period which should be as short as possible but not exceeding 15 minutes.
This exposure standard is a guide to be used in the control of occupational health hazards. All atmospheric contamination should be kept to as low a level as is workable. Exposure standards should not be used as fine dividing lines between safe and dangerous concentrations of chemicals. They are not a measure of relative toxicity.
Engineering Measures: No special precautions are normally required when handling this product.
Personal Protection Equipment: Wear safety glasses, PVC or rubber gloves with prolonged use.
