Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SWALLOWED
路 If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
路 If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if
possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
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 Seek medical advice.
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.

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALED
路 If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
路 Other measures are usually unnecessary.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
Treat symptomatically.
Suggested treatment regime for biguanide intoxication:
路 Establish airway and assist ventilation with positive end expiratory pressure, if
required, after endotracheal intubation. Circulatory competence must be maintained -
monitor blood pressure carefully.
路 Induction of emesis with Ipecac may be contraindicated as a result of biguanide-induced
gastric mucosal irritation.
路 Gastric lavage, following endotracheal intubation may be preferred. Activated charcoal
and cathartics placed through the lavage tube may be useful.
路 Forcing fluids may be counterproductive and result in fluid overload.
路 Haemodialysis may be useful as, in addition to facilitating the removal of biguanide
and excess lactate, it permits the administration of adequate amounts of sodium
bicarbonate without the risk of fluid overload or hypernatraemia.
路 Hypoglycaemia can be treated immediately with 50 ml of 50% glucose intravenously in
adults or 0.5 g/kg per dose in children.
路 Acidosis may be treated with IV sodium bicarbonate (1-2 mEq/kg); doses of 44-50 mEq
every 15 minutes may be required. Ensure that arterial blood gases, serum sodium chloride
, potassium and ECG are monitored. The patient may require 200-400 mEq of sodium
bicarbonate.
路 Dehydration and hypovolaemia may require placement of a central venous line.
路 Hypotension may be treated by placing the patient in Trendelenburg's position and the
cautious use of IV fluids. Pressor amines should be used cautiously, with blood lactate
monitoring, as they may increase lactic acid production.

PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
路 Safety glasses with side shields.
路 Chemical goggles.
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
NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].
HANDS/FEET
Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Factors such as:
路 frequency and duration of contact,
路 chemical resistance of glove material,
路 glove thickness and
路 dexterity,
are important in the selection of gloves.
Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. If risk of overexposure
exists, wear SAA approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate
protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage areas. Air
contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, in
turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air required to effectively
remove the contaminant.
Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., evaporating 0.25- 0.5 m/s (50- 100 f/min)
from tank (in still air)
aerosols, fumes from pouring operations, 0.5- 1 m/s (100- 200 f/min.)
intermittent container filling, low speed
conveyer transfers, welding, spray drift,
plating acid fumes, pickling (released at low
velocity into zone of active generation)
direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, 1- 2.5 m/s (200- 500 f/min)
drum filling, conveyer loading, crusher dusts,
gas discharge (active generation into zone of
rapid air motion)
grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, high 2.5- 10 m/s (500- 2000 f/min.)
speed wheel generated dusts (released at high
initial velocity into zone of very high rapid
air motion).
Within each range the appropriate value depends on:

Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening
of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the square of distance
from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the air speed at the extraction
point should be adjusted, accordingly, after reference to distance from the contaminating
source. The air velocity at the extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2
m/s (200-400 f/min.) for extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from
the extraction point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits
within the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are
multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or used.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
SWALLOWED
Biguanides, drugs used in treating type II diabetes mellitus, have been associated with
the metabolic condition lactic acidosis which is highly dangerous and often fatal
especially if taken with alcohol. Overexposure may cause fixed dilated pupils and lack of
eye reflexes, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, loss of appetite and weight, abdominal
discomfort, blood in vomit, agitation, confusion, lethargy, spasticity, and coma.
Increased heart rate, decreased blood pressure and heart attack may occur. The skin is
dry and dehydration is common. Biguanides do not elicit a therapeutic response in the non
-diabetic.
Accidental ingestion of the material may be harmful; animal experiments indicate that
ingestion of less than 150 gram may be fatal or may produce serious damage to the health
of the individual.
EYE
If applied to the eyes, this material causes severe eye damage.
SKIN
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation
following contact (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless,
good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable
gloves be used in an occupational setting.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may
produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the
material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
INHALED
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
The material is not thought to produce either adverse health effects or irritation of the
respiratory tract following inhalation (as classified by EC Directives using animal
models). Nevertheless, adverse systemic effects have been produced following exposure of
animals by at least one other route and good hygiene practice requires that exposure be
kept to a minimum and that suitable control measures be used in an occupational setting.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following
repeated or long-term occupational exposure.
There is some evidence that inhaling this product is more likely to cause a sensitisation
reaction in some persons compared to the general population.
There is limited evidence that, skin contact with this product is more likely to cause a
sensitisation reaction in some persons compared to the general population.
The material may accumulate in the human body and progressively cause
tissue damage.
One ingredient of the product has caused skin sensitisation reactions, shown as localised
reddening and hives, or may produce respiratory sensitisation characterised by asthma
-like symptoms and runny nose.
TOXICITY AND IRRITATION
unless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances.
The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced inflammation.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.
