ST PRIMERS

Remove victim from area of exposure - avoid becoming a casualty. Remove contaminated clothing and loosen remaining clothing. Allow patient to assume most comfortable position and keep warm. Keep at rest until fully recovered. Seek medical advice if effects persist.

If skin contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and wash skin with running water. If irritation occurs seek medical advice.

Symptoms: irritation

If in eyes, wash out immediately with water. In all cases of eye contamination it is a sensible precaution to seek medical advice.

Rinse mouth with water. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass of water. Get to a doctor or hospital quickly.

Explosive material. Avoid all ignition sources. Risk of explosion by shock, friction, fire or other sources of ignition. On burning will emit toxic fumes, including those of oxides of carbon and oxides of nitrogen.

Mass explosion hazard. Confinement of material may result in detonation. Heating of material may result in detonation. In case of small fire where the actual explosive is not involved, carefully remove explosive to a safe distance, otherwise evacuate area immediately and allow to burn. Do NOT fight fire.

Shut off all possible sources of ignition. Clear area of all unprotected personnel. Avoid friction and impact.

If contamination of sewers or waterways has occurred advise local emergency services.

Collect and seal in properly labelled containers.

Handle with care. Avoid skin and eye contact. Do NOT subject the material to impact, friction between hard surfaces nor to any form of heating. Protect ends of cords from contact with moisture, and oil. Keep out of reach of children.

Store material in a well ventilated magazine suitably licensed for Class 1.1D Explosives. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated place and out of direct sunlight.

Avoid skin and eye contact.

Store away from sources of heat or ignition.

Natural ventilation should be adequate under normal use conditions.

impervious gloves

safety glasses

overalls, safety shoes

Explosive material. Avoid ignition sources, static electricity discharge and friction. Detonation may occur from impact, friction, or excessive heating.

Explosive.

Explosive material. Detonation may occur from heavy impact or excessive heating, particularly under confinement. Explosion creates the potential for shrapnel. Hazardous polymerisation will not occur.

Avoid exposure to heat, sources of ignition, and open flame. Avoid exposure to moisture. Avoid build up of static electricity. Avoid contact with other chemicals. Do not subject to friction. Avoid impact.

Incompatible with combustible materials. PETN is incompatible with oxidising agents, reducing agents, acids and alkalis.

Oxides of nitrogen. Oxides of carbon.

Refer to Waste Management Authority.

For small quantities: Place in a blast hole and explode during blasting. Large quantities should be returned to Orica Australia Pty Ltd or be disposed of in conjunction with the relevant State Dangerous Goods Branch.
