4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Description of necessary measures according to routes of exposure
Swallowed
For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor at once. Urgent hospital treatment is likely to be
needed. If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (headdown position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration. Observe the patient carefully. Never give
liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious. Give water
to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can comfortably drink. Transport to hospital or
doctor without delay.
Eye
Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water. 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. Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
Transport to hospital or doctor without delay. Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be
undertaken by skilled personnel.
Skin
Avoid further contact. Immediately remove contaminated clothing, including footwear. Flush skin under running water
for 15 minutes. Avoiding contamination of the hands, massage calcium gluconate gel into affected areas, pay
particular attention to creases in skin. Contact the Poisons Information Centre. Continue gel application for at least 15
minutes after burning sensation ceases. If pain recurs, repeat application of calcium gluconate gel or apply every 20
minutes. If no gel is available, continue washing for at least 15 minutes, using soap if available. If patient is conscious,
give six calcium gluconate or calcium carbonate tablets in water by mouth. Transport to hospital, or doctor, urgently.
Inhaled
If dust is inhaled, remove from contaminated area. Encourage patient to blow nose to ensure clear breathing
passages. Ask patient to rinse mouth with water but to not drink water. Seek immediate medical attention.
For massive exposures : If dusts, vapours, aerosols, fumes or combustion products are inhaled, remove from
contaminated area. Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested. Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block
airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures. 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. If victim is conscious, give six calcium gluconate or calcium carbonate tablets in water by mouth.
Transport to hospital, or doctor, urgently.
Advice to Doctor
For acute or short term repeated exposures to fluorides:
Fluoride absorption from gastro-intestinal tract may be retarded by calcium salts, milk or antacids.
Fluoride particulates or fume may be absorbed through the respiratory tract with 20-30% deposited at alveolar level.
Peak serum levels are reached 30 mins. post-exposure; 50% appears in the urine within 24 hours.
For acute poisoning (endotracheal intubation if inadequate tidal volume), monitor breathing and evaluate/monitor
blood pressure and pulse frequently since shock may supervene with little warning. Monitor ECG immediately; watch
for arrhythmias and evidence of Q-T prolongation or T-wave changes. Maintain monitor. Treat shock vigorously with
isotonic saline (in 5% glucose) to restore blood volume and enhance renal excretion. Where evidence of
hypocalcaemic or normocalcaemic tetany exists, calcium gluconate (10 ml of a 10% solution) is injected to avoid
tachycardia.
For acute or short term repeated exposures to strong acids:
Airway problems may arise from laryngeal edema and inhalation exposure. Treat with 100% oxygen initially.
Respiratory distress may require cricothyroidotomy if endotracheal intubation is contraindicated by excessive
swelling. Intravenous lines should be established immediately in all cases where there is evidence of circulatory
compromise. Strong acids produce a coagulation necrosis characterised by formation of a coagulum (eschar) as a
result of the dessicating action of the acid on proteins in specific tissues.
INGESTION: Immediate dilution (milk or water) within 30 minutes post ingestion is recommended.
DO NOT attempt to neutralise the acid since exothermic reaction may extend the corrosive injury.
Be careful to avoid further vomit since re-exposure of the mucosa to the acid is harmful. Limit fluids to one or two
glasses in an adult. Charcoal has no place in acid management.
Some authors suggest the use of lavage within 1 hour of ingestion.
SKIN: Skin lesions require copious saline irrigation. Treat chemical burns as thermal burns with non-adherent gauze
and wrapping. Deep second-degree burns may benefit from topical silver sulfadiazine.
EYE: Eye injuries require retraction of the eyelids to ensure thorough irrigation of the conjuctival cul-de-sacs. Irrigation
should last at least 20-30 minutes. DO NOT use neutralising agents or any other additives. Several litres of saline are
required. Cycloplegic drops, (1% cyclopentolate for short-term use or 5% homatropine for longer term use) antibiotic
drops, vasoconstrictive agents or artificial tears may be indicated dependent on the severity of the injury. Steroid eye
drops should only be administered with the approval of a consulting ophthalmologist).

Special Fire Fighting
Instructions
Clear fire area of all non-emergency personnel. Stay upwind. Keep out of low areas. Eliminate ignition sources.
Move fire exposed containers from fire area if it can be done without risk. Do NOT allow fire fighting water to reach

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
General Response Procedure
Avoid accidents, clean up immediately. Increase ventilation. Avoid walking through spilled product as it is slippery
when spilt. Isolate the danger area. Use clean, non-sparking tools and equipment. Shut off all possible sources of
ignition.
Clean Up Procedures
Minor spills : Remove all ignition sources. Clean up all spills immediately. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Control personal contact with the substance, by using protective equipment. Use dry clean up procedures and avoid
generating dust. Place in a suitable, labelled container for waste disposal.
Drains for storage or use areas should have retention basins for pH adjustments and dilution of spills before
discharge or disposal of material. Check regularly for spills and leaks.
Major spills : Clear area of personnel and move upwind. Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of
hazard. Wear full body protective clothing with breathing apparatus. Prevent, by any means available, spillage from
entering drains or water course. Consider evacuation (or protect in place). Stop leak if safe to do so.
Contain spill with sand, earth or vermiculite. Collect recoverable product into labelled containers for recycling.
Neutralise/decontaminate residue (see Section 13 for specific agent). Collect solid residues and seal in labelled drums
for disposal. Wash area and prevent runoff into drains. After clean up operations, decontaminate and launder all
protective clothing and equipment before storing and re-using. If contamination of drains or waterways occurs,
advise emergency services
Containment

Environmental Precautionary
Measures
Do not allow product to reach drains, sewers or waterways. If product does enter a waterway, advise the
Environmental Protection Authority or your local Waste Authority.
Evacuation Criteria
Evacuate all unnecessary personnel.
Personal Precautionary
Measures
Personnel involved in the clean up should wear full protective clothing as listed in section 8.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

3mg/m3 (for respirable dust).
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 as low as possible. 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. Adequate ventilation should be provided so that exposure limits
are not exceeded.
Personal Protection Equipment
RESPIRATOR: Always use a approved respirator when necessary (AS1715/1716).
EYES: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles (AS1336/1337).
HANDS: Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure (AS2161).
CLOTHING: Long-sleeved protective clothing and safety footwear (AS3765/2210).
