路 Observe the patient carefully.
路 Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness;
i.e. becoming unconscious.
路 Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can
comfortably drink.
路 Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
路 Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water.
路 Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and
moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
路 Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a doctor,
or for at least 15 minutes.
路 Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
路 Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled
personnel.
SKIN
If skin or hair contact occurs:
路 Immediately flush body and clothes with large amounts of water, using safety shower if
available.
路 Quickly remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
路 Wash skin and hair with running water. Continue flushing with water until advised to
stop by the Poisons Information Centre.
路 Transport to hospital, or doctor.
INHALED
路 If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
路 Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
路 Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where
possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
路 Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve
resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary.
路 Transport to hospital, or doctor, without delay.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
For acute or short term repeated exposures to strong acids:
路 Airway problems may arise from laryngeal edema and inhalation exposure. Treat with 100%
oxygen initially.
路 Respiratory distress may require cricothyroidotomy if endotracheal intubation is
contraindicated by excessive swelling
路 Intravenous lines should be established immediately in all cases where there is
evidence of circulatory compromise.
路 Strong acids produce a coagulation necrosis characterised by formation of a coagulum
(eschar) as a result of the dessicating action of the acid on proteins in specific
tissues.
INGESTION:
路 Immediate dilution (milk or water) within 30 minutes post ingestion is recommended.
路 DO NOT attempt to neutralise the acid since exothermic reaction may extend the
corrosive injury.
路 Be careful to avoid further vomit since re-exposure of the mucosa to the acid is
harmful. Limit fluids to one or two glasses in an adult.
路 Charcoal has no place in acid management.
路 Some authors suggest the use of lavage within 1 hour of ingestion.
SKIN:
路 Skin lesions require copious saline irrigation. Treat chemical burns as thermal burns
with non-adherent gauze and wrapping.
路 Deep second-degree burns may benefit from topical silver sulfadiazine.

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
EYE:
路 Eye injuries require retraction of the eyelids to ensure thorough irrigation of the
conjuctival cul-de-sacs. Irrigation should last at least 20-30 minutes. DO NOT use
neutralising agents or any other additives. Several litres of saline are required.
路 Cycloplegic drops, (1% cyclopentolate for short-term use or 5% homatropine for longer
term use) antibiotic drops, vasoconstrictive agents or artificial tears may be indicated
dependent on the severity of the injury.
路 Steroid eye drops should only be administered with the approval of a consulting
ophthalmologist).

Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
路 Avoid contact with incompatible materials.
路 When handling, DO NOT eat, drink or smoke.
路 Keep containers securely sealed when not in use.
路 Avoid physical damage to containers.
路 Always wash hands with soap and water after handling.
路 Work clothes should be laundered separately and before re-use
路 Use good occupational work practice.
路 Observe manufacturer's storing/handling recommendations.
路 Atmosphere should be regularly checked against established exposure standards to ensure
safe working conditions are maintained.
SUITABLE CONTAINER
Glass container.
路 Polyethylene or polypropylene container.
路 Packing as recommended by manufacturer.
路 Check all containers are clearly labelled and free from leaks.
STORAGE INCOMPATIBILITY
Avoid reaction with oxidising agents.
Segregate from alcohol, water.
Avoid strong acids, bases.
Acyl halides tend to react violently with protic organic solvents, water, and the aprotic
solvents, dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfoxide. Their facile reaction with ethers is
also potentially dangerous. In the absence of diluent or other effective control of
reaction rate, sulfoxides may react violently or explosively with certain acyl halides.
These violent reactions may be explained in terms of exothermic polymerisation of
formaldehyde which is formed under a variety of conditions by interaction of the
sulfoxide with reactive halides.
BRETHERICK L.: Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards.
Avoid storage sodium azide, dimethylsulfoxide and potassium hydroxide.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
路 Store in original containers.
路 Keep containers securely sealed.
路 No smoking, naked lights or ignition sources.
路 Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
路 Store away from incompatible materials and foodstuff containers.
路 Protect containers against physical damage and check regularly for leaks.
路 Observe manufacturer's storing and handling recommendations.

ODOUR SAFETY FACTOR (OSF)
OSF=1.3 (benzoyl chloride)
Exposed individuals are NOT reasonably expected to be warned, by smell, that the Exposure
Standard is being exceeded.
Odour Safety Factor (OSF) is determined to fall into either Class C, D or E.
The Odour Safety Factor (OSF) is defined as:
OSF= Exposure Standard (TWA) ppm/ Odour Threshold Value (OTV) ppm
Classification into classes follows:
Class OSF Description
A 550 Over 90% of exposed individuals
are aware by smell that the
Exposure Standard (TLV- TWA for
example) is being reached, even
when distracted by working
activities
B 26- 550 As " A" for 50- 90% of persons
being distracted
C 1- 26 As " A" for less than 50% of
persons being distracted
D 0.18- 1 10- 50% of persons aware of
being tested perceive by smell
that the Exposure Standard is
being reached
E <0.18 As " D" for less than 10% of
persons aware of being tested
.
MATERIAL DATA
Maximum vapour concentration: 680 ppm at 25 C.
The primary basis for the TLV-C is to protect against severe irritation
of the eyes and mucous membranes. There is limited evidence that workers
engaged in the production of benzoyl chloride and chlorinated toluene
derivatives have an excess risk of developing lung cancer. The TLV-C for
hydrogen chloride is 5 ppm and benzoyl chloride is believed to be at least
as irritating as hydrogen chloride which is one of its hydrolysis products.
2 ppm for 1 minute is reported as being intolerable.
INGREDIENT DATA
HYDROGEN CHLORIDE:
Odour Threshold Value: 0.262 ppm (detection), 10.06 ppm (recognition)
NOTE: Detector tubes for hydrochloric acid, measuring in excess of 1 ppm,
are available commercially.
Hydrogen chloride is a strong irritant to the eyes, mucous membranes and
skin. Chronic exposure produces a corrosive action on the teeth. Reports

of respiratory irritation following short-term exposure at 5 ppm have lead
to the recommended TLV-C. There is no indication that skin contact with
hydrogen chloride elicits systemic poisoning and a skin designation has
not been applied.
Exposure of humans to hydrogen chloride at 50 to 100 ppm for 1 hour is
reported to be barely tolerable; 35 ppm caused irritation of the throat on
short exposure and 10 ppm was the maximal concentration for prolonged
exposure. It has been stated that hydrogen chloride at concentrations of
5 ppm is immediately irritating.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
路 Safety glasses with side shields.
路 Chemical goggles.
路 Full face shield may be required for supplementary but never for primary protection of
eyes
路 Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and
concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or
restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a
review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account
of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal
and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure,
begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens
should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be
removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC
