Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SWALLOWED
Rinse mouth out with plenty of water.
If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre.
鈥? If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
鈥? If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down
position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
鈥? Observe the patient carefully.
鈥? Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced
awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious
鈥? Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as
casualty can comfortably drink.
鈥? Seek medical advice.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANNING GUIDELINES (ERPG)
The maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed that nearly all
individuals could be exposed for up to one hour WITHOUT experiencing or developing
life-threatening health effects is:
water 500 mg/m鲁
irreversible or other serious effects or symptoms which could
impair an individual's ability to take protective action is:
water 500 mg/m鲁
other than mild, transient adverse effects
without perceiving a clearly defined odour is:
water 500 mg/m鲁
The threshold concentration below which most people.
will experience no appreciable risk of health effects:
water 500 mg/m鲁

Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING
No special handling procedures required.
Use good occupational work practice.
SUITABLE CONTAINER
Plastic bottles or tubes.
STORAGE INCOMPATIBILITY
Avoid storage with oxidisers.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
鈥? Store in original containers.
鈥? Keep containers securely sealed.
鈥? Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
鈥? Store away from incompatible materials and foodstuff containers.
鈥? Protect containers against physical damage and check regularly for leaks.
鈥? Observe manufacturer's storing and handling recommendations.
Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EXPOSURE CONTROLS
None assigned.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
No special equipment for minor exposure i.e. when handling small quantities.
鈥? OTHERWISE:
鈥? Safety glasses with side shields.
鈥? 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
No special equipment needed when handling small quantities.
OTHERWISE: Wear general protective gloves, eg. light weight rubber gloves.
