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 If pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
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.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
To treat poisoning by the higher aliphatic alcohols:
路 Gastric lavage with copious amounts of water.
路 It may be beneficial to instill 60 ml of mineral oil into the stomach.
路 Oxygen and artificial respiration as needed.
路 Electrolyte balance: it may be useful to start 500 ml. M/6 sodium bicarbonate
intravenously but maintain a cautious and conservative attitude toward electrolyte
replacement unless shock or severe acidosis threatens.
路 To protect the liver, maintain carbohydrate intake by intravenous infusions of glucose.
路 Haemodialysis if coma is deep and persistent. [GOSSELIN, SMITH HODGE: Clinical
Toxicology of Commercial Products, Ed 5)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
BASIC TREATMENT
-----------------------------------------------------------------
路 Establish a patent airway with suction where necessary.
路 Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilation as necessary.
路 Administer oxygen by non-rebreather mask at 10 to 15 l/min.
路 Monitor and treat, where necessary, for shock.
路 Monitor and treat, where necessary, for pulmonary oedema.
路 Anticipate and treat, where necessary, for seizures.
路 DO NOT use emetics. Where ingestion is suspected rinse mouth and give up to 200 ml
water (5 ml/kg recommended) for dilution where patient is able to swallow, has a strong
gag reflex and does not drool.
路 Give activated charcoal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ADVANCED TREATMENT
-----------------------------------------------------------------
路 Consider orotracheal or nasotracheal intubation for airway control in unconscious
patient or where respiratory arrest has occurred.
路 Positive-pressure ventilation using a bag-valve mask might be of use.
路 Monitor and treat, where necessary, for arrhythmias.
路 Start an IV D5W TKO. If signs of hypovolaemia are present use lactated Ringers
solution. Fluid overload might create complications.
路 If the patient is hypoglycaemic (decreased or loss of consciousness, tachycardia,
pallor, dilated pupils, diaphoresis and/or dextrose strip or glucometer readings below 50
mg), give 50% dextrose.
路 Hypotension with signs of hypovolaemia requires the cautious administration of fluids.
Fluid overload might create complications.
路 Drug therapy should be considered for pulmonary oedema.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use in a well-ventilated area.
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. Local exhaust ventilation
may be required in specific circumstances. If risk of overexposure exists, wear 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.)

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 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
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
Indicators are that short term exposure to the material by all routes is not harmful.
SWALLOWED
The material is moderately discomforting to the gastro-intestinal tract and may be
harmful if swallowed in large quantity.
Overexposure to non-ring alcohols causes nervous system symptoms. These include headache,
muscle weakness and inco-ordination, giddiness, confusion, delirium and coma. Digestive
symptoms may include nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. Aspiration is much more dangerous
than ingestion because lung damage can occur and the substance is absorbed into the body.
Alcohols with ring structures and secondary and tertiary alcohols cause more severe
symptoms, as do heavier alcohols.
EYE
The liquid is discomforting to the eyes and is capable of causing a mild, temporary
redness of the conjunctiva (similar to wind-burn), temporary impairment of vision and/ or
other transient eye damage/ ulceration.
The vapour from heated material is. highly discomforting to the eyes.
The material may produce moderate eye irritation leading to inflammation. Repeated or
prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.
SKIN
The liquid may produce skin discomfort following prolonged contact. Defatting and/or
drying of the skin may lead to dermatitis.
Most liquid alcohols appear to act as primary skin irritants in humans. Significant
percutaneous absorption occurs in rabbits but not apparently in man.
The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition.
INHALED
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
The vapour from heated material is. discomforting to the upper respiratory tract and
lungs if inhaled.
Inhalation of vapour may aggravate a pre-existing respiratory condition.
Aliphatic alcohols with more than 3-carbons cause headache, dizziness, drowsiness, muscle
weakness and delirium, central depression, coma, seizures and behavioural changes.
Secondary respiratory depression and failure, as well as low blood pressure and irregular
heart rhythms, may follow. Nausea and vomiting are seen, and liver and kidney damage is
possible as well following massive exposures. Symptoms are more acute the more carbons
there are in the alcohol.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Principal routes of exposure are by accidental skin and eye contact and by inhalation of
vapours especially at higher temperatures.
No human exposure data available. For this reason health effects described are based on
experience with chemically related materials.
As with any chemical product, contact with unprotected bare skin; inhalation of vapour,
mist or dust in work place atmosphere; or ingestion in any form, should be avoided by
observing good occupational work practice.
