HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION

exposure symptoms. The diluent is not classified as hazardous
according to the criteria of Worksafe Australia.
Acute Swallowing, skin contact, eye contact or inhalation:
According to the present state of knowledge provided that this

FIRST AID Self injection: Accidental self injection may lead to an
inflammatory response and medical advice should be sought
on the management of deep injections, particularly those near a
joint or associated with bruising. If possible the application of
gentle squeezing pressure with absorbent material (eg facial
tissues) at the injection site will swab up unabsorbed diluent.
Strong squeezing of the site should be avoided. The damaged
area should be thoroughly cleansed and a topical antiseptic
applied.
Swallowed: If in mouth, thoroughly wash mouth with water, then give
some water to drink. Further measures should not be
necessary.
