FIRST AID MEASURES Inhalation Ingestion Skin Eye First Aid Facilities Advice to Doctor CAS Proportion Hazard Symbol Ethanol % R48 Eosin % Acetic acid % Risk Phrase Remove the source of contamination or move the victim to fresh air. Ensure airways are clear and have qualified person give oxygen through a face mask if breathing is difficult. If symptoms develop seek medical attention. Do NOT induce vomiting. Wash out mouth with water. If symptoms develop seek medical attention. Wash affected area thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse or discard. If symptoms develop seek medical attention. If contact with the eye(s) occurs, wash with copious amounts of water holding eyelid(s) open. Take care not to rinse contaminated water into the non-affected eye. If symptoms persist seek medical attention. Eye wash and normal washroom facilities. Treat symptomatically. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Suitable Extinguishing Media Hazards from Combustion Products Specific Hazards Hazchem Code Precautions in connection with Fire Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide or alcohol resistant Under fire conditions this product may emit toxic and/or irritating fumes including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. This product is highly flammable. Vapours are heavier than air and will 'travel' to low-level areas e.g. sumps, drains, etc. and flashback. Precautions should be taken to eliminate the build up of explosive mixtures. 2YE Fire-fighters should wear full protective clothing and self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) operated in positive pressure mode. Water spray may be used to keep fire exposed containers cool.. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Emergency Procedures 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for Safe Handling Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and clothing to prevent exposure. Extinguish or remove all sources of ignition and stop leak if safe to do so. Increase ventilation. Evacuate all unprotected personnel. If possible contain the spill. Place inert absorbent, non-combustible material onto spillage. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect the material and place into suitable labelled containers for subsequent recycling or disposal. Dispose of waste according to the applicable local and national regulations. If contamination of sewers or waterways occurs inform the local water authorities and EPA in accordance with local regulations. Open containers cautiously as contents may be under pressure. Use only in a well ventilated area. DO NOT store or use in confined spaces. Do not enter these areas without respiratory protection or until the atmosphere has been checked. Keep tank covered and containers sealed when not in use. Build up of mists or vapours in the atmosphere must be prevented. Avoid inhalation of vapour and mists. Do not use near welding or other ignition sources and avoid sparks. Do NOT pressurise, cut, heat or weld containers as they may contain hazardous residues. Do not smoke. When dealing with large quantities, repeated

3 Page: 3 of Conditions for Safe Storage or prolonged exposure without protection should be prevented in order to lessen the possibility of disorders. It is essential that all who come into contact with this material maintain high standards of personal hygiene ie. Washing hands prior to eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet facilities. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from sources of ignition, oxidising agents, foodstuffs, and clothing and out of direct sunlight. Keep containers closed when not in use and securely sealed and protected against physical damage. Inspect regularly for deficiencies such as damage or leaks. Always keep in containers made of the same material as the supply container. Have appropriate fire extinguishers available in and near the storage area. Take precautions against static electricity discharges. Use proper grounding procedures. Do not stack more than 3 pallets high. For information on the design of the storeroom, reference should be made to Australian Standard AS The storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids. Reference should also be made to all State and Federal regulations. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION National Exposure Standards No exposure value assigned for this specific material by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission (NOHSC), Australia or the Occupational Safety and Health Service (OSH) of the New Zealand Department of Labour. However, the available exposure limits for ingredients are listed below: National Occupational Health And Safety Commission (NOHSC), Australia Exposure Standards: Substance TWA STEL NOTICES ppm mg/m³ ppm mg/m³ Ethanol Acetic acid New Zealand Occupational Safety and Health Service (OSH) Workplace Exposure Standards: Substance TWA STEL NOTICES ppm mg/m³ ppm mg/m³ Ethanol Acetic acid Biological Limit Values Engineering Controls Respiratory Protection Eye Protection TWA (Time Weighted Average): The average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal eight-hour working day, for a five-day week. STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit): The average airborne concentration over a 15 minute period which should not be exceeded at any time during a normal eight-hour workday. No Biological limit available. Provide sufficient ventilation to keep airborne levels below the exposure limits. Where vapours or mists are generated, particularly in enclosed areas, and natural ventilation is inadequate, a flameproof exhaust ventilation system is required. Refer to AS The storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids and AS/NZS :1997 : Classification of hazardous areas - Examples of area classification - General, for further information concerning ventilation requirements. If engineering controls are not effective in controlling airborne exposure then an approved respirator with a replaceable organic vapour filter should be used. Reference should be made to Australian/New Zealand Standards AS/NZS 1715, Selection, Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Devices; and AS/NZS 171, Respiratory Protective Devices, in order to make any necessary changes for individual circumstances. Safety glasses with side shields, goggles or full-face shield as appropriate recommended. Final choice of appropriate eye/face protection will vary according to individual circumstances i.e. methods of handling or engineering controls and according to risk assessments undertaken. Eye protection should conform with Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS Eye Protectors for Industrial Applications.

4 Page: 4 of Hand Protection Body Protection Wear gloves of impervious material conforming to AS/NZS 211: Occupational protective gloves - Selection, use and maintenance. Final choice of appropriate glove type will vary according to individual circumstances. This can include methods of handling, and engineering controls as determined by appropriate risk assessments. Wear appropriate clothing including chemical resistant apron where clothing is likely to be contaminated. It is advisable that a local supplier of personal protective clothing is consulted regarding the choice of material. 9.
