First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Remove to fresh air, seek medical advice.

Skin contact

Wash off with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing.

Eye contact

Rinse out with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes with the eyelid held wide open. Immediately call an ophtalmologist.

Ingestion

Keep airways free. Immediately call in physician.

Symptoms: Caution if victim vomits. Risk of aspiration! In case of spontaneous vomiting, risk of aspiration. Pulmonary failure possible.

Immediate Medical Attention

Immediately call an ophtalmologist (after eye contact). Immediately call in physician (after ingestion).

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Use dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

Unsuitable media

Prevent fire-fighting water from entering surface water or groundwater.

Specific hazards

Combustible. Vapours heavier than air. Forms explosive mixtures with air at ambient temperatures. Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapours possible in the event of fire.

Instructions

Keep a safety distance.

Firefighter Protection

Do not stay in dangerous zone without self-contained breathing apparatus. In order to avoid contact with skin, keep a safety distance and wear suitable protective clothing.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Do not inhale vapours/aerosols. Avoid substance contact. Ensure supply of fresh air in enclosed rooms.

Environmental

Do not allow to enter sewerage system; risk of explosion!

Cleanup methods

Absorb on vermiculite, sand or a pillow from Chemical Spill Center.

Materials: vermiculite, sand or a pillow from Chemical Spill Center

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Keep away from sources of ignition. Take measures to prevent electrostatic charging. Work under hood. Do not inhale substance. Avoid generation of vapours/aerosols.

Storage

Closed in a well ventilated place. Away from sources of ignition and heat. Recommended storage temperature see product label.

Fire prevention

Keep away from sources of ignition. Take measures to prevent electrostatic charging.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Protective clothing should be selected specificlly for the working place, depending on concentration and quantity of the hazardous substances handled. The resistance of the protective clothing to chemicals should be ascertained with the respective supplier. See section 7.1

Hands

Required.

Eyes

Required.

Respiratory

Required when vapours/aerosols are generated. The entrepeneur has to ensure that maintenance, cleaning and testing of respiratory protective devices are carried out according to the instructions of the producer. These measures have to be properly documented.

Skin/Body

Required.

Environmental

Do not allow to enter sewerage system; risk of explosion!
