3 4. First-aid measures Inhalation Skin contact Eye contact Ingestion Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed General information 5. Fire-fighting measures Suitable extinguishing media Unsuitable extinguishing media Specific hazards arising from the chemical Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters Fire fighting equipment/instructions 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Environmental precautions 7. Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Move to fresh air. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist. Wash off with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Rinse with water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Rinse mouth. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Direct contact with eyes may cause temporary irritation. Treat symptomatically. 8. Exposure controls/personal protection Occupational exposure limits Biological limit values Exposure guidelines Appropriate engineering controls Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire. During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed. Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. Selection of respiratory protection for firefighting: follow the general fire precautions indicated in the workplace. Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk. Keep unnecessary personnel away. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. Following product recovery, flush area with water. Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination. Never return spills in original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not contaminate water. Avoid inhalation and contact with skin and eyes. Wash thoroughly after handling. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (See Section 8). Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Store in original tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials. No exposure limits noted for ingredient(s). No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s). No exposure standards allocated. General ventilation normally adequate. Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment If contact is likely, safety glasses with side shields are recommended. Eye/face protection Skin protection Hand protection Other For prolonged or repeated skin contact use suitable protective gloves. Wear suitable protective clothing Version #: 01 Revision date: - Issue date: 18-May / 6
