First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Move exposed individual to fresh air. Loosen clothing as necessary and position individual in a comfortable position.

Symptoms: Shortness of breath.

Skin contact

Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse or discard. Rinse skin with for 30 minutes with deluge of water or under a shower. Wash affected area with soap and water. Wipe off contact areas with a dry cloth if possible, before flushing with water.

Symptoms: Irritation. May cause severe burns and ulcerations.

Eye contact

Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 30 minutes. Remove contact lens(es) if able to do so during rinsing. Protect unexposed eye.

Symptoms: May cause severe burn and irreversible eye injury.

Ingestion

Rinse mouth thoroughly. Do not induce vomiting. Have exposed individual drink sips of water.

Symptoms: Nausea, Headache. May cause gastrointestinal tract burns, corrosion and permanent tissue damage of the digestive tract and esophagus.

Immediate Medical Attention

Seek medical attention immediately.

Medical Treatment

If seeking medical attention, provide SDS document to physician.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

If in laboratory setting, follow laboratory fire suppression procedures. Use appropriate fire suppression agents for adjacent combustible materials or sources of ignition

Specific hazards

Hydrogen gas is released in contact with most metals. Combustion products may include carbon oxides or other toxic vapors. Combustion products may include phosphine, oxides of phosphorus, and hydrogen gas.

Instructions

Move product containers away from fire or keep cool with water spray as a protective measure, where feasible.

Firefighter Protection

Wear protective equipment. Use respiratory protective device against the effects of fumes/dust/aerosol/vapor. Use NIOSH-approved respiratory protection/breathing apparatus.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Stop the spill, if possible. Contain spilled material by diking or using inert absorbent. Transfer to a disposal or recovery container.

Environmental

Prevent from reaching drains, sewer or waterway. Collect contaminated soil for characterization per Section 13

Cleanup methods

Absorb spillage to prevent material damage due to corrosiveness to metal. If in a laboratory setting, follow Chemical Hygiene Plan procedures. Place into properly labeled containers for recovery or disposal. Collect liquids using inert absorbent material.

Materials: inert absorbent material

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Wash hands after handling. Do not mix with bases. Use in a chemical fume hood. Follow good hygiene procedures when handling chemical materials. Do not eat, drink, smoke, or use personal products when handling chemical substances. If in a laboratory setting, follow Chemical Hygiene Plan. Use only in well ventilated areas. Prevent contact with eyes, skin, and clothing

Storage

Store away from oxidizing agents. Store in cool, dry conditions in well sealed containers. Keep container tightly sealed. Do not store under direct sun light. Do not pile up the containers. Do not store at temperatures close to freezing point. Avoid storage near extreme heat, ignition sources or open flame. Store away from foodstuffs.

Hygiene

Wash hands after handling. Follow good hygiene procedures when handling chemical materials. Do not eat, drink, smoke, or use personal products when handling chemical substances. If in a laboratory setting, follow Chemical Hygiene Plan.

Fire prevention

Avoid storage near extreme heat, ignition sources or open flame.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in the immediate vicinity of use/handling. Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapor or dusts (total/respirable) below the applicable workplace exposure limits (Occupational Exposure Limits-OELs) indicated above.

Hands

The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation being used/handled. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation.

Eyes

Safety glasses with side shields or goggles.

Respiratory

Use suitable respiratory protective device when high concentrations are present. Use suitable respiratory protective device when aerosol or mist is formed. For spills, respiratory protection may be advisable.
