4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Ingestion: If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give plenty of water to drink.
Eye contact: If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water. Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons
Information Centre, or for at least 15 minutes.
Skin contact: If contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and wash skin with soap and water. Launder clothing BEFORE re-use.
Inhalation: Remove affected person from exposure – to an open space with fresh air. Remove any contaminated clothing and loosen remaining clothing. Keep
the person warm and in a comfortable position. Keep at rest until fully recovered. Seek medical advice if any symptoms persist.
Notes to physician: The presence of surfactant suggests intubation BEFORE any emesis.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media: Water spray, foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical powder.
Specific hazards: The product is neither a flammable liquid nor a combustible liquid. In large fires carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide may be emitted.
Precautions for fire fighters and special protective equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical splash unit to
minimise risk of exposure.
Hazchem Code: None allocated.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Emergency procedures: Spillages may be slippery. CONTAIN to prevent run off into drains and waterways. Ensure adequate ventilation; work up wind to
increase ventilation. Wear protective gear to prevent skin and eye contact and inhalation of vapours. Absorb into diatomaceous earth or Sonitron® ALSORB.
Collect and seal into approved plastic drums for transport to disposal. After cleaning, flush away traces with water.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling: Keep containers closed when not in use. Transport and store upright. Wear protective gear to prevent contact with skin and
eyes.
Conditions for Safe Storage: Store in original containers in a cool dark place, away from incompatible materials, ie: strong alkali, hypochlorites and foodstuffs.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
National occupational exposure limits: No value assigned for this specific material by the Australian Safety & Compensation Council (ASCC), formerly
(NOHSC). Use TWA of 10mg/Cubic metre as a maximum as for nuisance mists.
Exposure Standard (TWA) is the time – weighted average airborne concentration over an eight hour working day, for a five day week over an entire working life.
Biological Limit Values: No limit allocated
Engineering Controls: Ensure adequate ventilation to maintain air concentrations below Exposure Standards.
Keep containers closed when not in use.
Personal protection equipment: Risk assessments should always be conducted to identify hazards to determine appropriate protective gear to be worn. Gloves
and eye protection – consult AS/NZS 1336 and AS/NZS 1337 for further information.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety
practices.
