First Aid Measures

Poison Information Centres in each State capital can provide additional

assistance for scheduled poisons. (Phone Australia 131 126)

Ingestion:

If swallowed do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water, give glass of

water and seek medical attention.

Eye contact:

Immediately irrigate with copious quantities of water for at least 15 minutes.

Eyelids to be held open. Seek immediate medical assistance.

Skin contact:

Remove contaminated clothing and footwear. Wash skin thoroughly with

protective clothing.

Fire Fighters:

Wear positive pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus and full

protective clothing.

Section 6:

Accidental Release Measures

Small Spills:

Shut off all possible ignition sources. Wear protective equipment to prevent

skin and eye contamination. Clean with absorbent material like sand, soil,

vermiculite or any other inert material. Avoid contamination of drains,

sewerage and waterways. Collect and seal in properly labelled containers

for disposal as per local council statutory codes.

Large Spills:

Shut off all possible ignition sources. Wear protective equipment to prevent

skin and eye contamination. Clean with absorbent material like sand, soil,

N/E* - No Exposure Standard has been established for this product.

Eng. Controls:

Special ventilation is not normally required due to the low volatility of the

product at normal temperature. However, in the operation of certain

equipment or at elevated temperatures, mists or vapours may be generated

and exhaust ventilation should be provided to maintain airborne

concentration levels below the exposure standards or where no exposure

standard is allocated, as low as reasonably practicable.

Personal Protection:

Use overalls, safety shoes, safety goggles, rubber or chemical resistance

gloves and respirator if required.

Manufacturing,

Avoid skin and eye contact and the inhalation of vapour. Wear overalls,

Packaging &

safety goggles and impervious gloves. Available information suggests that the

Transport:

gloves made from PVC should be suitable for intermittent contact. However

due to variations in glove construction and local conditions, the final

assessment should be made by the user. If inhalation risk exists, wear

organic vapour respirator meeting requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and 1716.

Always wash hands with soap and water before smoking, eating, drinking

or using toilet facilities.

Preparations & use

Repeated exposure may cause allergic disorders. Sensitive workers should

of product:

use protective clothing. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not inhale mist

or vapours. After each day's use, wash gloves, safety goggles and all the

contaminated clothing.
