First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

If adverse effects occur, such as irritation, remove to uncontaminated area. Get medical attention if you feel unwell.

Symptoms: respiratory tract irritation, cough.

Skin contact

Wash contaminated areas with water. If irritation persists, get medical advice/attention.

Symptoms: slight redness, irritation due to mechanical effect.

Eye contact

If in eyes, rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If irritation occurs, get medical advice/attention.

Symptoms: mild irritation of the eye lids and conjunctiva due to mechanical effect.

Ingestion

No expected effect. If large amounts are ingested, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Symptoms: No known effects.

Immediate Medical Attention

If large amounts are ingested, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Medical Treatment

Removing the material via irrigation is usually sufficient.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Use media appropriate for surrounding fire.

Specific hazards

Slight fire hazard. Although unlikely, dust/air mixtures may pose a limited risk of explosion under certain conditions. PVC dust is capable of propagating a secondary dust explosion.

Instructions

Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion by-products. Cool extinguished material to prevent decomposition.

Firefighter Protection

Wear NIOSH approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure demand mode.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry.

Environmental

Keep out of water supplies and sewers.

Cleanup methods

Collect spilled material in appropriate container for disposal. To minimize dust, vacuum cleaning is preferred.

07

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Use methods to minimize generation of dust. PVC dust is capable of propagating a secondary dust explosion. Avoid breathing dust. This potential can be reduced by good housekeeping, prevention of dust from process equipment, preventing accumulation of dust emissions on overhead, horizontal surfaces and eliminating potential ignition sources. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. PVC resin processing may result in the release of low levels of vinyl chloride.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry area. Store in a well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed and properly labeled.

Hygiene

Wash thoroughly after handling.

Fire prevention

Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Provide local exhaust ventilation where dust or vapors may be generated. Ensure compliance with applicable exposure limits.

Hands

As a good hygiene practice, wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Consult a glove supplier for assistance in selecting an appropriate chemical resistant glove. Protective Material Types: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Tyvek®

Eyes

Use good hygiene practices when handling this material. Safety glasses with side-shields or goggles are recommended when there is a potential for eye contact.

Respiratory

A NIOSH approved respirator with N95 (dust, fume, mist) cartridges may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits, or when symptoms have been observed that are indicative of overexposure. The added protection of a full face-piece respirator is required when visible dusty conditions are encountered and eye irritation may occur. A respiratory protection program that meets 29 CFR 1910.134 must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant use of a respirator.

Skin/Body

As a good hygiene practice, wear protective clothing to minimize skin contact such as standard industrial work clothes, coveralls, safety footwear.
