Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
Inhalation Exposure
Remove victim from exposure to processing fumes or dusts to fresh air.
Skin Contact
If dust, remove contaminated clothing and wash effected area with soap and water. For molten metal, flood contact area to solidify and cool but do not attempt to remove encrusted metal on skin or clothing. Continue to flush for at least 10 minutes. Cover burns, if bigger than a 50 pence piece.
Symptoms:
Irritation (from dust); burns and encrusted metal (from molten metal).
Eye Contact
If dust enters eyes flush for 10 – 20 minutes with cold water.
Ingestion/Swallowing
Do not induce vomiting.
Immediate Medical Attention Required
Seek medical attention immediately for inhalation exposure or molten metal contact. Seek medical attention immediately if large quantities of dust or fume are ingested. Seek medical attention if skin irritation persists or if eye contact requires it.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
Engineering Controls
Use adequate local or general ventilation to maintain the concentration of zinc and aluminum oxide fumes in the working environment well below recommended occupational exposure limits. Supply sufficient replacement air to make up for air removed by the exhaust system. Where metallic dust particles of zinc and aluminum metals are being collected and transported by a ventilation system, use a non-sparking, grounded ventilation system separate from other exhaust ventilation systems. Locate dust collectors and fans outdoors if possible and provide dust collectors with explosion vents or blow out panels.
Hand Protection
Gloves and coveralls, shop coat or other work clothing are recommended to prevent prolonged or repeated direct skin contact when this product is processed. Where hot or molten metal is handled, heat-resistant gloves should be worn.
Eye Protection
Eye protection should be worn where fume or dust is generated. Where hot or molten metal is handled, a full face visor should be worn.
Respiratory Protection
Respiratory protection may be required where oxide fume is generated. Where zinc or aluminium oxide fumes are generated and cannot be controlled to within acceptable levels by engineering means, use appropriate respiratory protection equipment.
Skin/Body Protection
Protective clothing should be selected specifically for the work place, depending on the concentration and quantity of the hazardous substances handles. The resistance of protective clothing to molten metal should be ascertained with the respective supplier. Coveralls, shop coat or other work clothing are recommended to prevent prolonged or repeated direct skin contact when this product is processed. Where hot or molten metal is handled, molten metal resistant clothing to protect from hot metal splash should be worn. Foundry or safety type boots are recommended.
Environmental Exposure Controls
Water: Do not release to water. Air: Local Exhaust ventilation may be required. Soil: Do not release to soil.
