First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Move to fresh air. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Apply artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.

Symptoms: Irritating to respiratory system

Skin contact

Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes.

Symptoms: Irritating to skin

Eye contact

Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do, remove contact lenses. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.

Symptoms: Irritating to eyes

Ingestion

Do NOT induce vomiting. Drink plenty of water. Never give liquid to an unconscious person. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.

Immediate Medical Attention

Call a physician or poison control center immediately.

Medical Treatment

Treat symptomatically.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Use fire-extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding materials.

Unsuitable media

None known.

Specific hazards

During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed.

Instructions

Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out.

Firefighter Protection

Firefighters must use standard protective equipment including flame retardant coat, helmet with face shield, gloves, rubber boots, and in enclosed spaces, SCBA.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Keep unauthorized personnel away. Keep upwind. Use personal protective equipment. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them.

Large spill

Dike far ahead of larger spill for later recovery and disposal.

Environmental

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.

Cleanup methods

Absorb spill with vermiculite or other inert material, then place in a container for chemical waste. Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination.

Materials: vermiculite or other inert material

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not taste or swallow. Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.

Storage

Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Keep container tightly closed. Store in a cool and well-ventilated place.

Hygiene

Wash hands thoroughly after handling.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.

Hands

Chemical resistant gloves

Eyes

Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). Wear face shield if there is risk of splashes.

Respiratory

If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not been established), an approved respirator must be worn.

Skin/Body

Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves.

Stability and Reactivity

Chemical stability, hazardous reactions, and incompatible materials

Stability

Slowly decomposes on contact with air.

Reactivity

No dangerous reaction known under conditions of normal use.

Hazardous reactions

Hazardous polymerization does not occur. Slowly decomposes on contact with air. Rate increases with the concentration and temperature. Exposure to sunlight accelerates decomposition. Sodium hypochlorite becomes less toxic with age.

Avoid

Heat. Sunlight. Contact with incompatible materials.

Incompatible

Ammonia. Amines. Ammonium salts. Aziridine. Methanol. Phenyl acetonitrile. Ethyleneimine. Oxidizable metals. Acids. Soaps. Bisulfates. Cellulose

Decomposition

Chlorine. Sodium oxides
