EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE TO PRODUCT
Very hazardous in case of ingestion. Hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant), of inhalation. Slightly hazardous in case
of skin contact (irritant, permeator). Severe over-exposure can result in death.
EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE TO PRODUCT
The substance is toxic to blood, kidneys, the nervous system, the reproductive system, liver, mucous membranes,
gastrointestinal tract, upper respiratory tract, central nervous system (CNS). Repeated or prolonged exposure to the
substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated exposure to an highly toxic material may produce general
deterioration of health by an accumulation in one or many human organs.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS (SPECIFY eg. VENTILATION, ENCLOSED PROCESS)
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below
recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to
airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.
LEAK AND SPILL PROCEDURE
Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container.
WASTE DISPOSAL
According to local, provincial, and federal regulations.
HANDLING PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT
Keep locked up Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Ground all equipment containing material. Do
not ingest. Do not breathe dust. Avoid contact with eyes Wear suitable protective clothing In case of insufficient
ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or
the label. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
Flammable materials should be stored in a separate safety storage cabinet or room. Keep away from heat. Keep away
from sources of ignition. Keep container tightly closed. Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place. Ground all equipment
containing material. Keep container dry. Keep in a cool place.

SECTION 8 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SPECIFIC MEASURES
SKIN After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin with running
water and non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. Cover the irritated skin with an
emollient. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.
EYES Eye Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping
eyelids open. Cold water may be used. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention.
INHALATION Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If breathing is
difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. WARNING: It may be hazardous
to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious or corrosive. Seek
immediate medical attention.
INGESTION Do not induce vomiting. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues are damaged, a possible indication that the
toxic material was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt
or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek immediate medical attention.
IF IRRITATION PERSISTS AND IN ALL OTHER CASES, GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
