4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Description of necessary measures according to routes of exposure
Swallowed
DON’T INDUCE VOMITING. If victim is conscious give plenty of water. Spontaneous vomiting may occur.
Never give anything to an unconscious victim. Immediately seek medical attention.
Eye
If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water. Continue flushing until advised to stop
by a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
DO NOT WEAR CONTACT LENSES WHEN WORKING WITH CHLORINE.
Skin
Immediately wash off with plenty of water. Any clothing contaminated with chlorine should be removed immediately
and washed before re-use. Consult or seek medical attention for serious exposure.
Inhaled
Take proper precautions to ensure rescuer safety before attempting rescue (wear appropriate protective equipments
and utilize the “buddy system”). Remove source of chlorine or move victim to fresh air and obtain medical attention
immediately.
If breathing has not ceased, the patient should be placed in a comfortable position. Firmness and assurance will help
alleviate patient anxiety. Slow deep breathing should be encouraged. Trained personnel should administer oxygen as
soon as possible. The victim should be kept warm and remain at rest until medical help arrives.
If breathing has stopped, trained personnel should immediately begin artificial respiration or, if the heart has stopped,
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Avoid mouth-to-mouth contact.
Advice to Doctor
Treat symptomatically based on individual reactions of patient and judgement of doctor. Effects may be delayed.
Delayed pulmonary oedema may result.
Speed in removing victim from contaminated area is of primary importance.

Medical Conditions Aggravated
by Exposure
Chlorine produces no cumulative effects and complete recovery occurs after mild exposure. As chlorine is particularly
irritating to persons afflicted with asthma and certain types of chronic bronchitis, such persons should avoid exposure
to chlorine at all times. Delayed fatal pulmonary oedema possible.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability Conditions
Chlorine is a strong oxidizer. Non-combustible but can support combustion of combustible material producing
irritating and poisonous gases. Flame impingement upon steel container will result in iron/chlorine fire causing rupture
of
container.
Extinguishing Media
For large fires use water spray. Do NOT use dry chemicals, carbon dioxide or halogenated extinguishing agents. If
chlorine is not leaking , apply water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. DO NOT APPLY WATER TO
LEAKING CONTAINERS. Chlorine containers may explode when involved in fire. Remove containers away from fire
zone if possible. Intense heat from fire can melt the safety fusible plugs of containers/cylinders at about 75-78 Deg C,
thus releasing chlorine.
Fire and Explosion Hazard
Chlorine containers may explode when involved in fire. Remove containers away from fire zone if possible. Chlorine
containers may explode when involved in fire. Remove containers away from fire zone if possible. Intense heat from
fire can melt the safety fusible plugs of containers/cylinders at about 75-78 Deg C, thus releasing chlorine.
Hazardous Products of
Combustion
Chlorine is a strong oxidizer. Non-combustible but can suport combustion of combustible material producing irritating
and poisonous gases. Oxidizing substance.
Special Fire Fighting
Instructions
Do NOT allow fire fighting water to reach waterways, drains or sewers. Store fire fighting water for treatment. Dam fire
control water for later disposal. Not combustible, however will support the combustion of other materials. Keep
containers cool with water spray.
Heating can cause expansion or decomposition of the material, which can lead to the containers exploding. If safe to
do so, remove containers from the path of fire. Only move cool cylinders. Do not approach cylinders suspected to be
hot. Fire fighters to wear self-contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing if risk of exposure. If
unable to keep cylinders cool, evacuate area.
Personal Protective Equipment
Fire fighters should wear a positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting
clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers, boots, and gloves). Clear fire area of all non- emergency
personnel. Stay upwind. Keep out of low areas. Eliminate ignition sources. Do NOT stay in dangerous zone without
self-contained breathing apparatus.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
General Response Procedure
Avoid accidents, clean up immediately. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Work up wind or increase ventilation. Stop
leak if safe to do so. Isolate the danger area. Use clean, non-sparking tools and equipment. Do NOT contaminate.
Keep combustibles away from spilled material.
Clean Up Procedures
For gas leak, DO NOT spray water directly on the leak or chlorine container. Use fire hoses equipped with fog
nozzles to disperse gas downwind. For liquid: Contain - prevent run off into drains and waterways.
Use fog nozzles as before. Do NOT allow any water to fall onto a pool of liquid chlorine as this will
increase gas cloud. If safe to do so, cover with large plastic sheet. Where possible vapour knock down water should
be contained. Unload remaining chlorine from a leaking container or cylinder by discharging into an absorption tower
circulating with alkaline solution (eg. 20-25% sodium hydroxide solution, soda ash, or hydrated lime solutions). Collect
the absorbing solution thereafter for prompt disposal as Hazardous waste. Repair or dispose of the leaking
container/cylinder in accordance with current local disposal regulations. Seek specialist advice. For large spills notify
the Emergency Services.
Containment
Stop leak if safe to do so. Isolate the danger area. Locate the leak with dilute ammonia solution (about 10%) in a
polyethylene squeeze bottle. If chlorine is escaping, a white cloud will be observed. Attempt to stop leak from valves
by tightening the valve nut or outlet cap. If fails use the appropriate emergency kit A (for cylinders)/ B (for containers).
If leak is from cylinder/container body, position it such that gas is released and not liquid. Use a body clamp is
appropriate. For leaks, immediately implement pre-determined emergency response plans.
Decontamination
Waste gas should scrub through an absorption tower, circulated with alkaline solution of caustic soda, soda ash, or
hydrated lime before discharging to the atmosphere. Liquid or solid residues must be disposed off in permitted waste
treatment facility.
Do NOT let product reach drains or waterways. If product does enter a waterway, advise the Environmental

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
General
As published by Safe Work Australia Workplace Exposure Standards for Airborne Contaminants
Chlorine: Peak Limitation = 3 mg/m3 (1 ppm),
Peak Limitation - a maximum or peak airborne concentration of a particular substance determined over the shortest
analytically practicable period of time which does not exceed 15 minutes.
NOTE: The exposure value at the TWA is the average airborne concentration of a particular substance when
calculated over a normal 8 hour working day for a 5 day working week.
Peak Limitation: A ceiling concentration which should not be exceeded over a measurement period which should be
as short as possible but not exceeding 15 minutes.
These exposure standards are guides to be used in the control of occupational health hazards. All atmospheric
contamination should be kept to as low a level as is workable. These exposure standards should not be used as fine
dividing lines between safe and dangerous concentrations of chemicals. They are not a measure of relative toxicity.
Exposure Limits
No Data Available
Biological Limits
No information available on biological limit values for this product.
Engineering Measures
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below exposure standards.
Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source,
preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. DO NOT enter confined spaces where vapour may have
collected. Provide water supply / emergency eyewash / shower near area of handling.
Personal Protection Equipment
RESPIRATOR: Wear an approved half-face acid gas cartridge respirator suitable for the substance to be worn when
concentrations are above the permissible exposure limits, but less than 5 ppm (15 mg/m3). Use self contained
breathing apparatus with a full-face piece respirator when concentration is greater than 5ppm (15 mg/m3)
(AS1715/1716).
EYES: Chemical safety goggles with side shields/full-face shield, Do NOT wear contact lenses (AS1336/1337).
HANDS: Impervious gloves (AS2161).
CLOTHING: Chemical-resistant coveralls and safety footwear. Some operations may require the use of a impervious
full-body encapsulating suit (AS3765/2210).
