4. First Aid
Ingestion
Rinse mouth with water. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give a
glass of water to drink. Never give anything by the mouth to an unconscious
patient. If vomiting occurs give further water. Seek medical advice.
Eye contact
If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush the eyes continuously with running
water. Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information
Centre or a Doctor; or for at least 15 minutes and transport to Doctor or
Hospital.
Skin contact
If skin or hair contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and flush skin
and hair with running water. If swelling, redness, blistering or irritation
occurs seek medical assistance. For gross contamination, immediately
drench with water and remove clothing. Continue to flush skin and hair with
plenty of water (and soap if material is insoluble). For skin burns, cover with
a clean, dry dressing until medical help is available. If blistering occurs, do
NOT break blisters. If swelling, redness, blistering, or irritation occurs seek
medical assistance.
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. Seek medical advice if effects persist.
Notes to physician
Treat symptomatically.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
HAZCHEM code
2Y
Specific hazards
Flammable liquid
Suitable extinguishing
All extinguishing media e.g. Water, foam, dry chemicals
media
Fire fighting advice
Heating can cause expansion or decomposition leading to violent rupture of
containers. If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire. Keep
containers cool with water spray. On burning or decomposing may emit toxic
fumes. Fire fighters to wear self-contained breathing apparatus and suitable
protective clothing if risk of exposure to vapour or products of combustion or
decomposition
6. Accidental Release Measures
Spill clean up methods
Wear PPE as per Section 8. Mop up area and wash residues and small
spillages away to drain with water. For large spills, absorb with sand or
similar, collect and place in sealable containers for disposal. Caution: Spill site
may be slippery. If contamination of sewers or waterways has occurred,
advise local authorities.

Exposure standards
Substance
CAS #
TWA
STEL
ppm mg/m3
ppm mg/m3
Ethyl Alcohol
64-17-5
1880 mg/m3
1000 ppm
TWA - The time-weighted average airborne concentration over an eight-hour
working day, for a five-day working week over an entire working life.
STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) - the average airborne concentration over
a 15 minute period which should not be exceeded at any time during a
normal eight-hour workday.
These Exposure Standards are guides to be used in the control of
occupational health hazards. All atmospheric contamination should be kept
too as low a level as is workable. These 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 controls
Personal protection
Version 3.0
If the directions for use on the product label are followed, exposure of
individuals using the product should not exceed the above standard. The
standard was created for workers who are routinely, potentially exposed
during product manufacture
Ensure ventilation is adequate to maintain air concentrations below Exposure
Standards. Use only in well ventilated areas. Do NOT enter confined spaces
where vapour may have collected.
Use chemical safety goggles for bulk liquid handling where splashing is
possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
