If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Phone Australia 13 1126.
Ingestion: Immediately rinse mouth with water. If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting. Give water to drink. Seek
immediate medical attention.
Eye contact: If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush continuously with running water. Continue flushing until
advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes. Transport to hospital or
medical centre.
Skin contact: If skin or hair contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and flush skin and hair with running
water. If swelling, redness, blistering, or irritation occurs seek medical attention. Skin reaction may be delayed
for 1 - 2 days. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
Inhalation: Remove victim from exposure. Keep at rest until fully recovered. Seek medical advice.
Medical attention and special treatment: Treat symptomatically. Can cause corneal burns.
5 . F IR E-F IGH T ING ME A SUR ES
Suitable extinguishing media: For large fires use water fog, fine water spray or foam. Do not use water jets.
For small fires use foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or water spray.
Hazards from combustion products: Combustible liquid. On burning will emit toxic fumes including those of
oxides of carbon and phosphorus.
Precautions for fire fighters and special protective equipment: Heating can cause expansion or
decomposition leading to violent rupture of containers. If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire. Keep
containers cool with water spray. Fire fighters to wear self-contained breathing apparatus if at risk of exposure to
vapour or products of combustion, as well as structural fire fighters uniform.

Emergency procedures: Clear area of all unprotected personnel. Slippery when spilt. Avoid accidents, clean
up immediately. Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination and inhalation of vapours. Do
not touch or walk through spilled material.
Methods and materials for containment and clean up procedures: Contain - prevent run off into drains and
waterways. Use absorbent (soil, sand or other inert material). Collect and seal in properly labelled drums for
disposal. Wash area down with water to remove residual material.

Precautions for safe handling: Avoid all contact. Use with local exhaust ventilation. Avoid inhaling vapours or
spray mists. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing
and other protective equipment before storage or re-use. Do not dispose of material to sewers or waterways.
Conditions for safe storage: Store in a cool place and out of direct sunlight. Store away from oxidising agents,
strong bases and foodstuffs. Keep containers closed at all times - check regularly for leaks. Classified as a C1
(COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID) for the purpose of storage and handling, in accordance with the requirements of AS
1940. Refer to State Regulations for storage and transport requirements.

National exposure standards
No value assigned for this specific material by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission
(NOHSC Australia). However, Exposure Standards for constituent:
TWA STEL Notices
ppm mg/m鲁 ppm mg/m鲁
Phosphoric acid - 1 - 3 None
As published by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission (NOHSC Australia).
Exposure Standard (TWA) is the time-weighted average airborne concentration over an eight-hour working day,
for a five-day working week over an entire working life.
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 work day.
The Exposure Standards listed represent airborne concentrations of individual chemical substances which,
according to current knowledge, should neither impair the health of, nor cause undue discomfort to, nearly all
workers. They are guides to be used in the control of occupational health hazards. All atmospheric
contamination should be kept to as low a level as is workable. These Exposure Standards should not be used as
fine dividing lines between safe and dangerous concentrations of chemicals. They are not a measure of relative
toxicity.
Biological limit values: Not Relevant.

Engineering controls: Ensure ventilation is adequate to maintain air concentrations below Exposure Standard.
If material is used at elevated temperatures or as an aerosol, use with local exhaust ventilation or while wearing
a respirator. Vapour heavier than air - prevent concentration in hollows or sumps. DO NOT enter confined paces
where vapour may have collected. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Personal protective equipment: OVERALLS, RUBBER BOOTS, FACE SHIELD, CHEMICAL GOGGLES,
GLOVES (Long), APRON, RESPIRATOR.
Wear overalls, face shield, chemical goggles, elbow-length impervious gloves, splash apron and rubber boots. If
inhalation risk exists wear a filter respirator suitable for acidic and organic vapours/particulates meeting the
requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716.
