BDH Buffer Solution pH 7.0 (Phosphate)

If fumes, aerosols or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area. Other measures are usually unnecessary.

Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available). Seek medical attention in event of irritation.

Wash out immediately with water. If irritation continues, seek medical attention. Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.

Immediately give a glass of water. First aid is not generally required. If in doubt, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.

Use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding area. There is no restriction on the type of extinguisher which may be used.

Non combustible. Not considered a significant fire risk, however containers may burn.

Use water delivered as a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent area. Do not approach containers suspected to be hot. Cool fire exposed containers with water spray from a protected location. If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire.

Clear area of personnel and move upwind. Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.

Clean up all spills immediately. Avoid breathing vapours and contact with skin and eyes. Control personal contact with the substance, by using protective equipment. Contain and absorb spill with sand, earth, inert material or vermiculite.

Clear area of personnel and move upwind. Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. Control personal contact with the substance, by using protective equipment. Prevent spillage from entering drains, sewers or water courses.

See section 12

Clean up all spills immediately. Contain and absorb spill with sand, earth, inert material or vermiculite.

Materials: sand, earth, inert material or vermiculite

Limit all unnecessary personal contact. Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs. Use in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with incompatible materials.

Store in original containers. Keep containers securely sealed. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Store away from incompatible materials and foodstuff containers.

Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to provide this high level of protection. The basic types of engineering controls are: Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk. Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker and ventilation that strategically "adds" and "removes" air in the work environment.

Wear general protective gloves, eg. light weight rubber gloves. Glove selection is based on a modified presentation of the: "Forsberg Clothing Performance Index". Recommended materials: BUTYL (A), NEOPRENE (A), VITON (A). NATURAL RUBBER (C) and PVA (C) are considered Poor to Dangerous Choice.

Safety glasses with side shields. Chemical goggles. Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lenses or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience.

Overalls. Barrier cream.

• Unstable in the presence of incompatible materials. • Product is considered stable. • Hazardous polymerisation will not occur.
