NOTES TO PHYSICIAN » Any material aspirated during vomiting may produce lung injury. Therefore emesis should not be induced mechanically or pharmacologically. Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES EXTINGUISHING MEDIA » - Water spray or fog. - Foam. - Dry chemical powder. - BCF (where regulations permit). FIRE FIGHTING » - Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. - Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves. - Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water courses. - Use water delivered as a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent area. FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD » - Combustible. - Slight fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame. - Heating may cause expansion or decomposition leading to violent rupture of containers. - On combustion, may emit toxic fumes of carbon monoxide (CO). Combustion products include: carbon dioxide (CO2), other pyrolysis products typical of burning organic material. FIRE INCOMPATIBILITY » - Avoid contamination with oxidising agents i.e. nitrates, oxidising acids, chlorine bleaches, pool chlorine etc. as ignition may result.

MAJOR SPILLS » Moderate hazard. - Clear area of personnel and move upwind. - Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. - Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves. - Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water course. Personal Protective Equipment advice is contained in Section 8 of the MSDS. Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING » - Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation. - Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs. - Use in a well-ventilated area. - Prevent concentration in hollows and sumps. - DO NOT allow clothing wet with material to stay in contact with skin. SUITABLE CONTAINER » - Metal can or drum - Packaging as recommended by manufacturer. - Check all containers are clearly labelled and free from leaks. continued...

STORAGE REQUIREMENTS » - Store in original containers. - Keep containers securely sealed. - No smoking, naked lights or ignition sources. - Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION EXPOSURE CONTROLS Source ___________ Australia Exposure Standards Australia Exposure Standards Australia Exposure Standards Material ___________ kerosene (Oil mist, refined mineral) alcohol, denatured (Ethyl alcohol) paraffin oils (Oil mist, refined mineral) TWA ppm _______ TWA mg/m³ _______ 5 1000 1880 5 PERSONAL PROTECTION RESPIRATOR Type ANO-P Filter of sufficient capacity EYE » - Safety glasses with side shields. - Chemical goggles. - Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59]. HANDS/FEET » - Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC. - Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber. OTHER » - Overalls. - P.V.C. apron. - Barrier cream. - Skin cleansing cream. ENGINEERING CONTROLS » General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. If risk of overexposure exists, wear SAA approved respirator. Section 9 - PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES APPEARANCE Opaque, white, viscous liquid; mixes with water. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Liquid.
