Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SWALLOWED
» - For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor at once.
- Urgent hospital treatment is likely to be needed.
- If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
- If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
EYE
» If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
- Wash out immediately with fresh running water.
- Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and
lower
lids.
- If pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
- Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SKIN
» If skin contact occurs:
- Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
- Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
- Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
INHALED
» - If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
- Other measures are usually unnecessary.
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.
HAZCHEM: None
Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
MINOR SPILLS
» - Remove all ignition sources.
- Clean up all spills immediately.
- Avoid breathing vapours and contact with skin and eyes.
- Control personal contact by using protective equipment.
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.

PERSONAL PROTECTION

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.

» Lifetime exposure of rodents to gasoline produces carcinogenicity although the relevance to humans has been questioned. Gasoline induces
kidney cancer in male rats as a consequence of accumulation of the alpha2-microglobulin protein in hyaline droplets in the male (but not female) rat
kidney.
The material may produce severe skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure, and may produce a contact dermatitis (nonallergic). This form
of dermatitis is often characterised by skin redness (erythema) thickening of the epidermis.<</>.
