4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Poison Information Centres in each state can provide additional assistance for scheduled poisons. Phone 131126 from
anywhere in Australia
Ingestion:
Give water to drink. Induce vomiting in a conscious person by giving Ipecac syrup if possible. Give further water to
achieve effective dilution. Keep head below hip level to reduce possibility of aspiration pneumonitis. Seek medical
attention. Never attempt to give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush the contaminated eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing water for AT LEAST 15 minutes, by the
clock, holding the eyelid(s) open. Remove clothing if contaminated and wash skin. If irritation occurs seek medical
attention.
Skin Contact:
Wash contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before re-use. If irritation
persists, seek medical advice.
Inhalation:
Remove victim to fresh air - avoid becoming a casualty. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If breathing has
stopped, apply artificial respiration. Seek medical attention.
Other First Aid:
Provide general supportive measures (comfort, warmth, rest). Consult a physician and/or the nearest Poison Control
Centre.
Notes to physician:
Treat symptomatically as for alcohol poisoning.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Specific hazards:
Highly flammable.
Fire fighting further advice:
Flammable. Do not spray near ignition sources. May form explosive mixtures with air. Keep away from heat, sparks
or naked flames. Heating may cause explosion. Avoid all ignition sources. Flameproof equipment necessary. Earth
nearby equipment. Firefighters must wear self-contained breathing apparatus with full-face mask and protective
clothing.
Suitable Extinguishing media:
Water fog (or if unavailable fine water mist or spray), foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder)
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Small Spills: Eliminate all sources of ignition. Prevent static discharges. Contain using sand or diatomaceous earth.
Collect and seal in properly labelled drums. Wash remaining area with large volumes of water.
Large Spills:
PRECAUTIONS Restrict access to area. Clear area of unprotected personnel. Eliminate all sources of ignition.
Prevent static discharges. Provide adequate protective equipment and ventilation. Wear self-contained breathing
apparatus if ventilation poor. Remove chemicals which can react with the spilled material.
CLEANUP Contain spill or leak. Do not allow entry into sewers or waterways.
Spilled solutions should be contained by dyking with inert material, such as sand or earth. Solutions can be
recovered for subsequent treatment.
DISPOSAL Federal, state and local regulations should be reviewed prior to disposal. May be possible to atomise
dilute solutions in an approved combustion chamber. May be harmful to aquatic life.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING Avoid generating mist or spray. Label containers. Keep containers closed when not in use.
STORAGE CONDITIONS Keep containers capped when not in use and when empty. Protect from damage. Store in
cool dry place and out of direct sunlight. Store in well-ventilated area. Store away from strong oxidisers, peroxides,
acids, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, alkali metals and ammonia. Do not store in aluminium containers Keep
containers closed at all times. Keep containers securely sealed and protected against physical damage. Do not store in
pits or basements where vapours may become entrapped. Store away from sources of heat or ignition. Not to be
loaded with Class 1, 2.1, 2.3, 4.2, 5.1, 5.2, 6, 7.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Ethyl Alcohol TLV/TWA: 1880 mg/m3, 1000 ppm; NOHSC Australia.
Exposure Standards:
Engineering Controls: Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid generating and inhaling mist. Local exhaust ventilation
system may be required. DO NOT enter confined spaces where vapour may have collected. Use in well ventilated area.
Keep containers closed when not in use.
Personal Protection: Use good personal and industrial hygiene. Wash hands and face before eating, drinking or
smoking. Avoid direct contact with the product, wear appropriate protective clothing. If ventilation inadequate use
approved respirator.

INCOMPATIBILITY: Strong oxidisers.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide, oxides of sulfur.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERISATION: Will not occur.
Fire/Explosion Hazard:
Vapour or mist will form flammable mixtures in air. Flashback along vapour trail may occur.
Extinguish fire with the following:
Water spray, carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical.
Firefighters to wear full protective clothing with breathing apparatus.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute Effects:
Ingestion:
Moderately toxic. May lead to CNS depression. Ingestion can result in nausea. May cause gastric irritation,
headache and dizziness.
Eye contact:
Moderate to severe irritation. May cause watering of eyes. High concentrations of vapours will cause irritation.
Skin contact:
Moderate to severe irritation, drying, de-fatting.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of mists or aerosols can produce respiratory irritation, could be anaesthetic and have central nervous
system effects .
Long term Effects:
Possible liver and kidney disorders. Repeated or prolonged skin contact can cause chronic dermatitis. Chronic
exposure to vapour may result in headache and symptoms of central nervous system depression. Absorbed
into the body by inhalation and ingestion. Excessive acute absorption may cause central nervous system
depression. Excessive chronic absorption may result in liver injury. Excessive ingestions can lead to alcoholism.
Ethanol is generally regarded as one of the safest industrial solvents. Although it possesses narcotic properties,
vapour concentrations sufficient to produce this effect are rarely, if ever, reached in industry.
Toxicity Data:
Oral Lowest Lethal Dose (human): 1400 mg/kg Inhalation LC50 (rat): 20000 ppm/ 10 hr Oral Lowest Lethal
Dose(child): 2000 mg/kg. 250 ppm/6hr/goldfish/lethal/fresh water.
