Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SWALLOWED
鈥? For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor at once.
鈥? Urgent hospital treatment is likely to be needed.
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? Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
鈥? Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running
water.
鈥? 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.
鈥? Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a
doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
鈥? Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
鈥? Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by
skilled personnel.
SKIN
If skin or hair contact occurs:
鈥? Immediately flush body and clothes with large amounts of water, using safety
shower if available.
鈥? Quickly remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
鈥? Wash skin and hair with running water. Continue flushing with water until
advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre.
鈥? Transport to hospital, or doctor.
INHALED
鈥? If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
鈥? Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
鈥? Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed,
where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
鈥? 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.
鈥? Transport to hospital, or doctor, without delay.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
鈥? Unless endotracheal intubation can be accomplished under direct vision,
cricothyroidotomy or tracheotomy may be necessary.
鈥? Oxygen is given as indicated.
鈥? The presence of shock suggests perforation and mandates an intravenous line
and fluid administration.
鈥? Damage due to alkaline corrosives occurs by liquefaction necrosis whereby the
saponification of fats and solubilisation of proteins allow deep penetration
into the tissue.
Alkalis continue to cause damage after exposure.
INGESTION:
鈥? Milk and water are the preferred diluents
No more than 2 glasses of water should be given to an adult.
鈥? Neutralising agents should never be given since exothermic heat reaction may
compound injury.
* Catharsis and emesis are absolutely contra-indicated.
* Activated charcoal does not absorb alkali.
* Gastric lavage should not be used.
Supportive care involves the following:
鈥? Withhold oral feedings initially.
鈥? If endoscopy confirms transmucosal injury start steroids only within the first
48 hours.
鈥? Carefully evaluate the amount of tissue necrosis before assessing the need for
surgical intervention.
鈥? Patients should be instructed to seek medical attention whenever they develop
difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia).
SKIN AND EYE:
鈥? Injury should be irrigated for 20-30 minutes.
Eye injuries require saline. [Ellenhorn & Barceloux: Medical Toxicology].

PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
鈥? Chemical goggles.
鈥? Full face shield may be required for supplementary but never for primary
protection of eyes
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

The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use
determine the type of personal protective equipment required.
For further information consult site specific CHEMWATCH data (if
available), or your Occupational Health and Safety Advisor.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Local exhaust ventilation usually required. If risk of overexposure exists, wear
approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection.
Supplied-air type respirator may be required in special circumstances. Correct
fit is essential to ensure adequate protection.
An approved self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required in some
situations.
Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage area. 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., 0.25-0.5 m/s (50-100 f/min.)
evaporating from tank (in still air).
aerosols, fumes from pouring 0.5-1 m/s (100-200 f/min.)
operations, 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 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, 2.5-10 m/s (500-2000 f/min.)
high 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 1: Disturbing room air currents
favourable to capture
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of 2: Contaminants of high toxicity
nuisance value only.
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in 4: Small hood-local control only
motion
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

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
The material can produce chemical burns within the oral cavity and
gastrointestinal tract following ingestion.
The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification
systems as "harmful by ingestion". This is because of the lack of corroborating
animal or human evidence. The material may still be damaging to the health of
the individual, following ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (eg.
liver, kidney) damage is evident. Present definitions of harmful or toxic
substances are generally based on doses producing mortality rather than those
producing morbidity (disease, ill-health). Gastrointestinal tract discomfort may
produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational setting however, ingestion of
insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for concern.
EYE
The material can produce chemical burns to the eye following direct contact.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Vapours or mists may be extremely irritating.
SKIN
The material can produce chemical burns following direct contact
with the skin.
Skin contact is not thought to have harmful health effects (as classified under
EC Directives); the material may still produce health damage following entry
through wounds, lesions or abrasions.
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
Inhalation of vapours or aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material
during the course of normal handling, may be damaging to the health of the
individual.
The material can cause respiratory irritation in some persons. The body's
response to such irritation can cause further lung damage.
Persons with impaired respiratory function, airway diseases and conditions such
as emphysema or chronic bronchitis, may incur further disability if excessive
concentrations of particulate are inhaled.
Effects on lungs are significantly enhanced in the presence of respirable
particles.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Repeated exposures, in an occupational setting, to high levels of fine- divided
dusts may produce a condition known as pneumoconiosis which is the lodgement of
any inhaled dusts in the lung irrespective of the effect. This is particularly
true when a significant number of particles less than 0.5 microns (1/50,000
inch), are present. Lung shadows are seen in the X-ray. Symptoms of
pneumoconiosis may include a progressive dry cough, shortness of breath on
exertion, increased chest expansion, weakness and weight loss. As the disease
progresses the cough produces a stringy mucous, vital capacity decreases further
and shortness of breath becomes more severe. Pneumoconiosis is the accumulation
of dusts in the lungs and the tissue reaction in its presence. It is further
classified as being of noncollagenous or collagenous types. Noncollagenous
pneumoconiosis, the benign form, is identified by minimal stromal reaction,
consists mainly of reticulin fibres, an intact alveolar architecture and is
potentially reversible. Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even
years after exposure to the material ceases. This may be due to a non-allergenic
condition known as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur
following exposure to high levels of highly irritating compound. Key criteria
for the diagnosis of RADS include the absence of preceding respiratory disease,
in a non-atopic individual, with abrupt onset of persistent asthma-like symptoms
within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the irritant. A reversible
airflow pattern, on spirometry, with the presence of moderate to severe
bronchial hyperreactivity on methacholine challenge testing and the lack of
minimal lymphocytic inflammation, without eosinophilia, have also been included
in the criteria for diagnosis of RADS. RADS (or asthma) following an irritating
inhalation is an infrequent disorder with rates related to the concentration of
and duration of exposure to the irritating substance. Industrial bronchitis, on
the other hand, is a disorder that occurs as result of exposure due to high
concentrations of irritating substance (often particulate in nature) and is
completely reversible after exposure ceases. The disorder is characterised by
dyspnea, cough and mucous production. 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. Respiratory sensitisation may result
in allergic/asthma like responses; from coughing and minor breathing
