2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Hazard classification: Not classified as a hazardous substance according to the criteria of NOHSC.
Not classified as a dangerous good according to the criteria of the Australian
Dangerous Goods Code.
Risk phrase(s): None
Safety phrase(s): None
Poisons schedule number: S7 (restricted)
3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
Ingredients
Chemical Name: Common Name: CAS Number: Proportion (w/w):
Sodium fluoroacetate 1080 62-74-8 0.3g/kg
Other ingredients not determined to be hazardous N/A up to 100%
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
First aid: Speed in treatment is essential. If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or
Poisons Information Centre. Have this MSDS or the label with you.
Swallowed: Seek immediate medical assistance.
Eye: If in eyes, hold eyes open, flood with water for at least 15 minutes and see a
doctor.
Skin: If skin contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and wash skin
thoroughly with soap and water. Remove from contaminated area.
Apply artificial respiration if not breathing.
Inhaled: There is no inhalation risk with the product.
Advice to doctor: The bait contains approximately 0.03% sodium fluoroacetate (72mg per 240
gram bait). Sodium fluoroacetate is also known as 鈥楥ompound 1080鈥?.
It is important to ascertain the route of exposure and the quantity of baits
exposed to. Sodium fluoroacatete acts after metabolic conversion to
fluorocitrate by blocking enzymes in the tricarboxylic acid cycle inhibiting
metabolic energy production. Organs with high energy requirements such as
the heart, diaphragm and brain are most affected. Accumulation of citrate
and disturbances in calcium ion levels can lead to symptoms.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire & explosion hazards: The bait is not flammable and will not auto-ignite.
Suitable extinguishing media: Water, foam, powder
Hazards from combustion: None applicable
Special protective equipment: Respirator, filter A/P
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spills and Disposal: While wearing elbow-length PVC gloves, sweep-up spilt bait(s) using a
broom and shovel and place in sealed containers. Bury contaminated waste
and excess product below 500 mm. Sodium fluoroacetate is readily
degraded by common soil bacteria and moulds once baits become wet in
soil.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling: To avoid risks for man and environment the instructions for use are to be
followed. Avoid all unnecessary contact with the product. The poison is
localised to the central core of the bait and so no active ingredient is on the
outer surfaces of the bait.
Conditions for safe storage: Store in the closed, original container in a dry, cool, well ventilated area out
of direct sunlight. Store in a locked room or place away from children,
animals, food, feedstuffs, seed and fertilisers.
The baits should not be stored above 30掳C and should not be stored for
extended periods of greater than 6 months from date of manufacture. The
baits will soften and discolour to brown upon prolonged storage at high
temperatures. Keep working dogs and pets away from baits as they are
highly susceptible to the poison and may eat the baits.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
National exposure standards: No exposure standard allocated.
Biological limit values: No biological limit allocated.
Engineering controls: The product formulation dilutes the concentration of sodium fluoroacetate
and binds it in the central core of the bait.
Personal protective equipment: When opening the container and preparing the bait wear elbow-length PVC
gloves.

9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Appearance: 9cm long x 5cm diameter cylinder shaped green solid, cereal and fish-flavoured
bait matrix in a synthetic cellulose casing with an inner core containing 72mg of
sodium fluoroacetate (鈥?1080鈥?). Individual baits weigh 240 grams.
Odour: Slightly fishy
pH: 5
Vapour pressure: Not applicable
Vapour density: Not applicable
Boiling point / range: Not applicable
Freezing / melting point: Not available
Solubility in water: The bait will gradually bio-degrade when exposed to soil moisture due to the
action of bacteria and moulds commonly found in soils which degrade both the
bait matrix and the poison to harmless metabolites. This degradation is
temperature and moisture dependent and may take several weeks.
Bulk density (20掳C): 1.36g/mL
10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Chemical stability: Stable under cool storage and handling conditions.
Conditions to avoid: Avoid prolonged storage in temperatures above 30掳C.
Incompatible materials: None applicable
Hazardous decomposition products: No specific data
Hazardous reactions: No specific data
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute toxicity: Based on the lowest known lethal dose for humans (0.71 mg/kg bw), an 80 kg
person may receive a lethal dose after ingesting one bait core. Lower doses may
still cause toxic effects or death.
Acute:
Swallowed: Poisonous if swallowed.
Eye: Avoid contact with eyes.
Skin: Avoid contact with skin.
Inhaled: Not applicable to this formulation. There is no inhalation risk with the product.
Chronic: None known.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Do not contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers. Information on non-
target animal distribution, conservation status, habitat preference, diet, tolerance to 1080, body weight and
size of home range can be used to reduce poisoning risks posed by baiting programs. Time baiting programs
when non-target species are least active or least susceptible.
Ecotoxicity: Sodium fluoroacetate is toxic to fish but is rapidly diluted in water.
Persistence and degradability: The product is biologically degradable and will not accumulate in soil or
water.
