Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
路 Lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position if possible) to maintain
open airway and prevent aspiration.
NOTE: Wear a protective glove when inducing vomiting by mechanical means.
路 In the mean time, qualified first-aid personnel should treat the patient following
observation and employing supportive measures as indicated by the patient's condition.
路 If the services of a medical officer or medical doctor are readily available, the
patient should be placed in his/her care and a copy of the MSDS should be provided.
Further action will be the responsibility of the medical specialist.
路 If medical attention is not available on the worksite or surroundings send the patient
to a hospital together with a copy of the MSDS.
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 contact occurs:
路 Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear
路 Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
路 Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
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 fluorides:
路 Fluoride absorption from gastro-intestinal tract may be retarded by calcium salts, milk
or antacids.
路 Fluoride particulates or fume may be absorbed through the respiratory tract with 20-30%
deposited at alveolar level.
路 Peak serum levels are reached 30 mins. post-exposure; 50% appears in the urine within
24 hours.
路 For acute poisoning (endotracheal intubation if inadequate tidal volume), monitor
breathing and evaluate/monitor blood pressure and pulse frequently since shock may
supervene with little warning. Monitor ECG immediately; watch for arrhythmias and
evidence of Q-T prolongation or T-wave changes. Maintain monitor. Treat shock vigorously
with isotonic saline (in 5% glucose) to restore blood volume and enhance renal excretion.
路 Where evidence of hypocalcaemic or normocalcaemic tetany exists, calcium gluconate (10
ml of a 10% solution) is injected to avoid tachycardia.

FOOTNOTES
1 PROTECTIVE ACTION ZONE is defined as the area in which people are at risk of harmful exposure. This zone
assumes that random changes in wind direction confines the vapour plume to an area within 30 degrees on
either side of the predominant wind direction, resulting in a crosswind protective action distance equal
to the downwind protective action distance.
2 PROTECTIVE ACTIONS should be initiated to the extent possible, beginning with those closest to the spill
and working away from the site in the downwind direction. Within the protective action zone a level of
vapour concentration may exist resulting in nearly all unprotected persons becoming incapacitated and
unable to take protective action and/or incurring serious or irreversible health effects.
3 INITIAL ISOLATION ZONE is determined as an area, including upwind of the incident, within which a high
probability of localised wind reversal may expose nearly all persons without appropriate protection to
life-threatening concentrations of the material.
4 SMALL SPILLS involve a leaking package of 200 litres (55 US gallons) or less, such as a drum (jerrican or
box with inner containers). Larger packages leaking less than 200 litres and compressed gas leaking from
a small cylinder are also considered "small spills".
LARGE SPILLS involve many small leaking packages or a leaking package of greater than 200 litres, such as
a cargo tank, portable tank or a "one-tonne" compressed gas cylinder.

MATERIAL DATA
Based on a study in which the threshold for minimum increase in bone density due to
fluoride exposure was 3.38 mg/m3 (as fluoride), the present TLV-TWA has been adopted to
prevent irritant effects and disabling bone changes. There is also support for the
proposition that occupational exposure below the TLV will have no adverse effect on
pregnant women or off-spring. IARC has classified fluorides in drinking water as Group 3
carcinogens; i.e. Not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans. Equivocal
evidence of carcinogenic activity (osteosarcoma) has been found in male rats administered
sodium fluoride in drinking water. (0-175 ppm) Evidence was not found in female rats or
in male or female mice.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
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].

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use in a well-ventilated area.
路 Local exhaust ventilation is required where solids are handled as powders or crystals;
even when particulates are relatively large, a certain proportion will be powdered by
mutual friction.
路 Exhaust ventilation should be designed to prevent accumulation and recirculation of
particulates in the workplace.
路 If in spite of local exhaust an adverse concentration of the substance in air could
occur, respiratory protection should be considered. Such protection might consist of:
(a): particle dust respirators, if necessary, combined with an absorption cartridge;
(b): filter respirators with absorption cartridge or canister of the right type;
(c): fresh-air hoods or masks

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
路 Build-up of electrostatic charge on the dust particle, may be prevented by bonding and
grounding.
路 Powder handling equipment such as dust collectors, dryers and mills may require
additional protection measures such as explosion venting.
Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, in
turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air required to efficiently
remove the contaminant.
Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
direct spray, spray painting in shallow 1- 2.5 m/s (200- 500 f/min.)
booths, 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:
Lower end of the range Upper end of the range
1: Room air currents minimal or favourable to 1: Disturbing room air currents
capture
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of nuisance 2: Contaminants of high toxicity
value only
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in motion 4: Small hood- local control only
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 4-10
m/s (800-2000 f/min) for extraction of crusher dusts generated 2 metres 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.
