SECTION 4: First aid measures
General:
In case of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Never give anything by mouth
to an unconscious person.

Wash skin with plenty of water and soap.
Eye Contact:
Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if
present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. It is hazardous to eyes, when they are closed. Do not rinse under strong
stream of running water. If eye irritation persists: get medical advice/attention
Ingestion:
Rinse mouth. DO NOT induce vomiting. Give plenty of water to drink. Refer for
medical attention if symptoms of poisoning persist.

Lime-fertilisers are hygroscopic and absorb
water from the air. Store well closed in a cool, dry location in hermetically sealed packages. Protect from humidity,
precipitation (rain or snow), do not let water be collected on the package or package lay in water. Protect packages
against physical damage. Product packed in big bags (500 or 1000 kg) should be kept in vertical position, on pallets
without protruding nails and/or sharp wood splinters, which could damage the bag. Product packed in large bags and
stored in stacks cannot be placed one on the other in not more than 4 rows. Requirement for packing: well closed
containers from plastic, steel, polyethylene - treated paper bags, bags with insert of polyethylene or polypropylene,
big-bags. Incompatible materials – there is no. Bulk lime-fertiliser may be loaded to the transportation or the
purchaser’s package that ensures safe product transportation and keeping. Contact with other (unpacked) chemical
materials.is not allowed

5 mg/m³ as TWA;
TLV 10 mg/m³ as TWA.
8.2. Exposure controls
8.2.1. Appropriate engineering controls:
from dusting, spill.
Protect packages against damage. Well-ventilated dry location, protect
8.2.2. Personal Protective Equipment
Respiratory protection: Not needed in normal circumstances. In the big accidents, in case of the handling
with dust generation: masks with filters from dust (type P1 or P2 according EN 143), filtered respirators FFP1 or
FFP2 (EN149).
Hand protection:
Canvas, leather, PVC or rubber gloves.
Eyes protection: If it is necessary –safety goggles, face shield.
