Oatey 95/5 Lead Free Plumbing Solder

If dust is inhaled, remove from contaminated area. Encourage patient to blow nose to ensure clear breathing passages. Ask patient to rinse mouth with water but to not drink water. Seek immediate medical attention.

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

Wash out immediately with fresh running water. Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention. Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.

IF SWALLOWED, REFER FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION, WHERE POSSIBLE, WITHOUT DELAY. For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor. Urgent hospital treatment is likely to be needed. In the mean time, qualified first-aid personnel should treat the patient following observation and employing supportive measures as indicated by the patient's condition. If the services of a medical officer or medical doctor are readily available, the patient should be placed in his/her care and a copy of the SDS should be provided. Further action will be the responsibility of the medical specialist. If medical attention is not available on the worksite or surroundings send the patient to a hospital together with a copy of the SDS. Where medical attention is not immediately available or where the patient is more than 15 minutes from a hospital or unless instructed otherwise: INDUCE vomiting with fingers down the back of the throat, ONLY IF CONSCIOUS. Lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.

DRY sand, graphite powder, dry sodium chloride based extinguishers, G-1 or Met L-X to smother fire.

DO NOT use halogenated fire extinguishing agents. DO NOT USE WATER, CO2 or FOAM.

Reacts with acids producing flammable / explosive hydrogen (H2) gas. Metal dust fires are slow moving but intense and difficult to extinguish. Containers may explode on heating. Dusts or fumes may form explosive mixtures with air. Gases generated in fire may be poisonous, corrosive or irritating. Hot or burning metals may react violently upon contact with other materials, such as oxidising agents and extinguishing agents used on fires involving ordinary combustibles or flammable liquids. Temperatures produced by burning metals can be higher than temperatures generated by burning flammable liquids. Some metals can continue to burn in carbon dioxide, nitrogen, water, or steam atmospheres in which ordinary combustibles or flammable liquids would be incapable of burning.

Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. Use fire fighting procedures suitable for surrounding 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. If impossible to extinguish, withdraw, protect surroundings and allow fire to burn itself out.

Clean up all spills immediately. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Control personal contact with the substance, by using protective equipment. Use dry clean up procedures and avoid generating dust. Place in a suitable, labelled container for waste disposal.

Do not use compressed air to remove metal dusts from floors, beams or equipment. Vacuum cleaners, of flame-proof design, should be used to minimise dust accumulation. Use non-sparking handling equipment, tools and natural bristle brushes. Provide grounding and bonding where necessary to prevent accumulation of static charges during metal dust handling and transfer operations. Cover and reseal partially empty containers. Do not allow chips, fines or dusts to contact water, particularly in enclosed areas.

See section 12

Use dry clean up procedures and avoid generating dust. Use non-sparking handling equipment, tools and natural bristle brushes.

Develop work practices and procedures that prevent particulate from coming in contact with worker skin, hair, or personal clothing. Never use compressed air to clean work clothing or other surfaces. As a standard hygiene practice, wash hands before eating or smoking. Procedures should be written that clearly communicate the facility's requirements for protective clothing and personal hygiene.

Store in original containers. Keep containers securely sealed. Store in a cool, dry area protected from environmental extremes. Store away from incompatible materials and foodstuff containers. Protect containers against physical damage and check regularly for leaks.

Wash hands before eating or smoking. Procedures should be written that clearly communicate the facility's requirements for protective clothing and personal hygiene.

Metal dusts must be collected at the source of generation as they are potentially explosive. Avoid ignition sources. Good housekeeping practices must be maintained. Dust accumulation on the floor, ledges and beams can present a risk of ignition, flame propagation and secondary explosions. Do not use compressed air to remove settled materials from floors, beams or equipment. Vacuum cleaners, of flame-proof design, should be used to minimise dust accumulation. Use non-sparking handling equipment, tools and natural bristle brushes. Cover and reseal partially empty containers. Provide grounding and bonding where necessary to prevent accumulation of static charges during metal dust handling and transfer operations. Do not allow chips, fines or dusts to contact water, particularly in enclosed areas. Metal spraying and blasting should, where possible, be conducted in separate rooms. Work-shops designed for metal spraying should possess smooth walls and a minimum of obstructions. Wet scrubbers are preferable to dry dust collectors. Bag or filter-type collectors should be sited outside the workrooms and be fitted with explosion relief doors. Cyclones should be protected against entry of moisture. Local exhaust systems must be designed to provide a minimum capture velocity at the fume source, away from the worker, of 0.5 metre/sec. Local ventilation and vacuum systems must be designed to handle explosive dusts. Dry vacuum and electrostatic precipitators must not be used, unless specifically approved for use with flammable/ explosive dusts.

Protective gloves eg. Leather gloves or gloves with Leather facing. Experience indicates that the following polymers are suitable as glove materials for protection against undissolved, dry solids, where abrasive particles are not present: polychloroprene, nitrile rubber, butyl rubber, fluorocaoutchouc, polyvinyl chloride. Gloves should be examined for wear and/ or degradation constantly.

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. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59], [AS/NZS 1336 or national equivalent]

Particulate. (AS/NZS 1716 & 1715, EN 143:2000 & 149:001, ANSI Z88 or national equivalent). Respirators may be necessary when engineering and administrative controls do not adequately prevent exposures. The decision to use respiratory protection should be based on professional judgment that takes into account toxicity information, exposure measurement data, and frequency and likelihood of the worker's exposure. Certified respirators will be useful for protecting workers from inhalation of particulates when properly selected and fit tested as part of a complete respiratory protection program. Use approved positive flow mask if significant quantities of dust becomes airborne.
