SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Drink 1 to 2 glasses of water, seek medical attention. NEVER give anything by mouth to
an unconscious person.
Flush with plenty of water. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur.
Eye:
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash affected area with soap and water.
Skin:
Wash clothing before reuse, wash shoes thoroughly or dispose of them.
If inhaled remove person/people to fresh air. Treat symptomatically, seek medical aid.
Inhaled:
Eyebath/eyewash & Safety shower.
First Aid Facilities:
Medical Attention & Special Treatment:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Silver Bromide: Excessive absorption of silver compounds from CHRONIC overexposure may result in argyria,
a bluish-gray discolouration of the skin, eyes and mucous membranes.
Swallowed:
SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable Extinguishing Media:
Use extinguishing method appropriate for surrounding fire.
Hazards from Combustion Products:
Hydrogen bromide, nitrogen oxides and carbon oxides.
Precautions for Fire Fighters:
Wear appropriate protective equipment for surrounding fire.
Not specified.
Hazchem Code:
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Emergency Procedures:
Not available.
Containment and clean up:
Page 2 of 3
Prevent spillage from entering drains/sewage systems. Absorb with vermiculite or other inert material and place
into a suitable sealable container for proper disposal. Clean spill area with water to remove residual traces.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING & STORAGE
Precautions for Safe Handling:
Avoid breathing mist or vapour from heated material at concentrations great tan the exposure limits. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation in area when in use. Wash thoroughly after
handling.
Conditions for Safe Storage:
Keep container tightly closed. Keep refrigerated. Keep away from Incompatible Materials (see Section 10).
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
National Exposure Standards:
Glycerol: TWA 10mg/m3
Methanol: TWA 200ppm, STEL 2550ppm
Silver Bromide: 0.1mg/m3
No biological limit allocated.
Biological Limit Values:
Engineering Controls:
Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Use process enclosures, local
exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure
limits.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Respiratory: If airborne concentrations are above recommended exposure limits an approved respirator must be
worn. Recommended: N95 Particulate Filter, and should comply with Worksafe Australia standard AS/NZS
1716:1994.
Eye protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles.
Skin and Body protection: Wear impervious gloves and protective clothing (appropriate to minimise risk of
exposure).
