Description of first aid measures
Inhalation
Skin Contact
Eye Contact
IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial resuscitation. Get medical
attention immediately.
IF ON SKIN (or hair): Immediately remove/take off all contaminated clothing and shoes. Flush skin
with water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately. Wash contaminated clothing
and shoes before reuse.
IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes keeping eyelids open. Remove
contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Get medical attention immediately.

Revision 1, December 2010
Ingestion
IF SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth. Drink copious quantities of water. Do NOT induce vomiting. Get
medical attention immediately.
4.2
Most important symptoms and effects,
both acute and delayed
Following severe exposure the patient should be kept under medical review for at least 48 hours
as delayed pulmonary oedema may develop.
4.3
Indication of immediate medical
attention and special treatment needed
Administer oxygen if necessary. In the case of inhalation of decomposition products in a fire,
symptoms may be delayed. The exposed person may need to be kept under medical surveillance
for at least 48 hours.

Special hazards arising from the
substance or mixture
Advice for fire-fighters
Combustion or thermal decomposition will evolve toxic and irritant vapours.
Notify police and fire brigade as soon as possible. Contain fire control water for later disposal. Fire
fighters should wear complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus.
Keep fire exposed containers cool by spraying with water.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1
Personal precautions, protective
equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency personnel
Evacuate surrounding areas. Provided it is safe to do so, isolate the source of the leak. Wear
appropriate personal protective equipment, avoid direct contact with vapour, mist or spilt material.
Provide adequate ventilation, and wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate.
For emergency responders
If specialized clothing is required to deal with a release, take note of information in section 8 on
suitable materials. See ‘non-emergency personnel’ above.
6.2
Environmental precautions
Avoid contact of spilt material and runoff with soil waterways, drains and sewers where possible.
Spillages or uncontrolled discharges into watercourses must be alerted to the appropriate
regulatory body.
6.3
Methods and material for containment
and cleaning up
Small release
6.4
Stop leak if without significant risk. Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb spillages onto sand,
earth or any suitable adsorbent material and place in an appropriate waste container. Dispose of
via licensed waste contractor.
Large release
Stop leak if without significant risk. Approach the release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers,
water courses, basements or confined areas. Use water spray to ‘knock down’ vapour. Wash
spillages into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain or collect spillage with
non-combustible, adsorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth, then
place into container for disposal via a licensed waste disposal. Contaminated adsorbent material
may pose the same hazard as the spilt product.

automation) for the elimination of releases.
Minimise exposure using measures such as closed systems, dedicated facilities and suitable general/local
exhaust ventilation. Drain down systems and clear transfer lines prior to breaking containment.
Clean/flush equipment, where possible, prior to maintenance.
Where there is potential for exposure: restrict access to authorised persons; provide specific activity
training to operators to minimise exposures; wear suitable gloves and coveralls to prevent skin
contamination; wear respiratory protection when its use is identified for certain contributing scenarios; clear
up spills immediately and dispose of wastes safely. Ensure safe systems of work or equivalent
arrangements are in place to manage risks. Regularly inspect, test and maintain all control measures.
Consider the need for risk-based health surveillance.
Process control/change
measures
: Undertake operation in enclosed conditions.
Technical conditions and measures to
control dispersion from source towards
the worker
: Control any potential exposure using measures such as contained or enclosed systems, properly
designed and maintained facilities and a good standard of general ventilation.
Drain down systems and transfer lines prior to breaking containment.
Drain down and flush equipment where possible prior to maintenance.
Where there is potential for exposure: Ensure relevant staff are informed of the nature of exposure and
aware of basic actions to minimise exposures; ensure suitable personal protective equipment is available;
clear up spills and dispose of waste in accordance with regulatory requirements; monitor effectiveness of
control measures; consider the need for health surveillance; identify and implement corrective actions.
Engineering controls
: Minimise exposure by extracted full enclosure for the operation or equipment. Only allow access to
authorised persons. Drain down and flush system prior to equipment break-in or maintenance. Ensure
control measures are regularly inspected and maintained.
Ventilation control
measures
: Provide a good standard of general ventilation (not less than 3 to 5 air changes per hour). Ensure transfer
points are supplied with extract ventilation.
Product substance-related measures
: Observe technical data sheet/instructions for use.
Product safety-related
measures
: Avoid contact with skin and mucous membranes. Do not breathe gas/vapour/aerosol. Observe the
usage/storage instructions. See Section 8 of the safety data sheet (general health and safety measures).
Organisational measures to
prevent/limit releases, dispersion and
exposure
: Only allow access to authorised staff. Ensure operatives are trained to minimise exposure. No action shall
be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Use a 'permit to work' system for
maintenance of tanks and silos. Ensure control measures are regularly inspected and maintained.
Conditions and measures related to personal protection, hygiene and health evaluation
Personal protection
