4. FIRST AID MEASURES
|
Ingestion:
|
Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Give a glass of water to dilute material in the stomach. DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek medical advice.
|
|
|
|
|
Eye:
|
Immediately irrigate with copious quantities of lukewarm, gently flowing water for AT LEAST 15 minutes. Eyelids to be held open. Take care not to rinse contaminated water into the non-affected eye. If irritation persists, obtain medical attention immediately.
|
|
|
|
|
Skin:
|
Immediately wash contaminated area with plenty of lukewarm water. For gross contamination, immediately drench with water and remove contaminated clothing, jewellery and shoes. Decontaminate clothing before re-use.
|
|
|
|
|
Inhaled
|
No first aid measures normally required. If vapour or mists have been inhaled, remove victim to fresh air and observe till fully recovered. If irritation becomes painful or persists more than 30 minutes, seek medical attention.
|
Note to physician: Treat symptomatically.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Specific hazards:
Non-combustible material. No risk of explosion from this product if involved in a fire. Decomposition products of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide can be expected from this product.
Fire fighting further advice:
Not combustible.
Suitable Extinguishing Media:
Water fog (or if unavailable fine water mist or spray), foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide, chemical dry powder).
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Small Spills:
Wear personal protective equipment. Contain using sand or diatomaceous earth. Collect and seal in a properly labelled container. Wash the remaining area with large volumes of water.
Large Spills:
PRECAUTIONS. Restrict access to area. Clear the area of unprotected personnel. Provide adequate protective equipment and ventilation. Remove chemicals that can react with the spilled material. Spills are slippery.
CLEANUP. Contain spill or leak. Do not allow entry into sewers or waterways. Dyking the area with inert material such as sand or earth should contain spilled solutions. Solutions can be recovered or carefully diluted with water. Neutralise with dilute acids.
DISPOSAL. Federal, State and local government regulations should be reviewed prior to disposal. Harmful to aquatic life in high concentrations.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING. Avoid generating mist or spray. When diluting solution, add water carefully. Label containers. Keep containers closed and upright when not in use. Empty containers may contain hazardous residues. Use smallest amounts in designated areas with adequate ventilation. Have emergency equipment (for fires, spills, leaks etc.) readily available.
STORAGE CONDITIONS: Store in suitable labelled containers. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use or empty. Protect from damage. Containers made of inert plastic are preferred. Storage tanks should be above ground and surrounded by dyke capable of holding entire contents. Limit quantity of material in storage. Restrict access to storage area. Post warning signs where appropriate. Keep storage area separate from populated work areas. Inspect periodically for deficiencies such as damage or leaks.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Standards: None assigned by Worksafe Australia.
A TWA has been established for the following ingredient. Their concentration in the product as well as the concentration of the product after dilution for use should be taken into account.
Ethylene glycol Monobutyl ether: TWA-121 mg/m3 (25ppm). STEL – none assigned.
Exposure standard (TWA) is the time weighted average airborne concentration over an eight-hour working day, for a five-day working week over an entire working life. According to current knowledge this concentration should neither impair the health of, nor cause undue discomfort to, nearly all workers.
STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) is the average airborne concentration over a 15-minute period, which should not be exceeded at any time during a normal eight-hour day.
Peak Limitation (if quoted) is a ceiling concentration, which should not be exceeded over a measurement period, which should be as short as possible, but not exceeding 15 minutes.
These exposure standards are guides to be used in the control of occupational health hazards. All atmospheric contamination should be kept to as low a level as is workable. These exposure standards should not be used as a fine dividing line between safe and dangerous concentrations of chemicals. They are not a measure of relative toxicity.
Engineering Controls: Maintain concentrations below recommended exposure limit.
Engineering control methods that reduce hazardous exposures are preferred. General methods include mechanical ventilation, dilution and general exhaust, process or personnel enclosure, control of process conditions and process modification (e.g. substitution of less hazardous material). Administrative controls and personal protective equipment may also be required. Exhaust directly to the outside. Use local exhaust ventilation, and process enclosure if necessary, to control airborne mist/sprays.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
Respiratory: If engineering controls and work practices are not effective in controlling exposure to this material, then wear suitable approved respiratory protection equipment meeting the requirements of AS1716 & AS1715. Inspect the equipment regularly to ensure that it is in good working order.
Eye/face Protection: Splash proof chemical safety goggles meeting AS1336 & AS1337.
Skin Protection: Impervious rubber or PVC gloves meeting AS2161. Full coveralls meeting AS 2919 and rubber boots meeting AS2210 may be necessary for tasks involving large quantities or movement of product or where splashing is a risk.
A safety shower or eye wash fountain should be readily available. Wash hands thoroughly after handling this material.
