4. FIRST AID MEASURES
If poisoning occurs, immediately contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre (telephone 13 11 26), and
follow the advice given. Show this Material Safety Data Sheet to the doctor.
Inhalation If inhaled remove to fresh air and keep at rest. Obtain medical advice.
Skin contact Carefully remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected areas with soap and water.
Seek medical aid if at all worried.
Eye contact Rinse eyes immediately with clean water for at least 15 minutes and obtain medical aid.
Ingestion Wash out mouth with water. Do NOT induce vomiting. Keep patient at rest and seek
medical advice as above.
First Aid Facilities Ensure eyewash and shower facilities are available.
Medical attention Triadimenol is a triazole compound. Symptoms of poisoning have not been recorded.
Local contamination:
Treatment should be symptomatic after decontamination. In case of skin or eye
contamination, treat as above under First Aid Measures.
Systemic poisoning:
There is no specific antidote. Treat symptoms. An aqueous suspension of activated
charcoal may be administered to absorb remaining toxicant.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing media Water spray, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, sand
Hazards from In a fire, formation of hydrogen chloride, hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen fluoride, carbon
combustion products monoxide and nitrogen oxides can be expected.
Precautions for fire Fire fighters should wear full protective gear, including self-contained breathing
fighters apparatus (AS/NZS 1715/1716). Keep unnecessary people away. If it can be done
safely, remove intact containers from the fire. Otherwise, spray unopened containers
with water to cool. Bund area with sand or earth to prevent contamination of drains or
waterways. Dispose of extinguishing agent and spillage safely later.
Hazchem code Not applicable
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Avoid contact with spilled material or contaminated surfaces. Do not smoke, eat or drink during the clean up
process. Wear personal protective clothing and equipment as detailed in Section 8 PERSONAL PROTECTION.
Keep people and animals away. Contain spill and absorb with earth, sand, clay, or other absorbent material.
Prevent spilled material from entering drains or watercourses. Collect and store in properly labelled drums for safe
disposal. Clean floor with a damp cloth and place it in the drum. Seal drums and label ready for safe disposal.
Deal with all spillages immediately. If contamination of drains, streams, watercourses etc. is unavoidable, warn the
local water authority.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not inhale dust from
grain or treated seed. Wash hands after use. Do not allow seed treated with this product
to contaminate seed intended for human or animal consumption. Bags which have held
treated seed are not to be used for any other purpose.
Storage Store product in the closed original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Do not store
for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. When treated seed is stored it should be kept
apart from other grain and the bags or other containers should be clearly marked to
indicate the contents have been treated with this product.
Flammability Not flammable. No flash point up to 100掳 C 鈥? probably a Combustible liquid Class C1.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure standards The NOHSC exposure standard (TWA) for glycerin mist is: 10 mg/m鲁
Exposure standard 鈥? Time Weighted Average (TWA) means the average airborne
concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal eight-hour working
day, for a five-day working week.
Biological limit values None allocated
Engineering controls Control process conditions to avoid contact. Use in a well-ventilated area only.
Personal Protective Eyes: Safety goggles if exposure is possible
Equipment Clothing: Cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist and a washable hat
Gloves: Elbow-length PVC gloves
Respiratory: If inhalation of product or dust from grain or treated seed is likely, an
AS/NZS 1715/1716 approved respirator should be worn.

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
When returnable container is empty or contents no longer required return it to the point of purchase. For non-
returnable containers, triple or (preferably) pressure rinse them before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. Do not
dispose of undiluted chemicals on-site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or
designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush or puncture and bury empty containers in a local authority
landfill. If no landfill is available, bury the containers below 500 mm in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up
for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots. Empty containers and product should not
be burnt. Dispose of waste product via a reputable disposal contractor to an approved landfill.
Rinse all application equipment with clean water immediately after use and dispose of rinsings in a dedicated
