First-aid measures

- Inhalation : Assure fresh air breathing. Allow the victim to rest. Seek medical attention immediately.
- Skin contact : Remove affected clothing and wash all exposed skin area with mild soap and water, followed by warm water rinse. Seek medical attention if ill effect or irritation develops.
- Eye contact : Rinse immediately with plenty of water.
- Ingestion : Rinse mouth. If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or label.
Emergency medical treatment : Immediate specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning.
Note to physician : Prolonged medical observation may be indicated.

Fire-fighting measures

Flammable class : Not flammable.
Surrounding fires : Use water spray or fog for cooling exposed containers.
Protection against fire : Do not enter fire area without proper protective equipment, including respiratory protection.
Special procedures : Exercise caution when fighting any chemical fire. Avoid (reject) fire-fighting water to enter environment.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions : Spill should be handled by trained cleaning personnel properly equipped with respiratory and eye protection.
Environmental precautions : Prevent entry to sewers and public waters. Notify authorities if product enters sewers or public waters.
After spillage and/or leakage : Collect spills and put it into appropriated container.

Handling and storage

Technical protective measures : Both local exhaust and general room ventilation are usually required.
Storage : Keep only in the original container in a cool, well ventilated place. Keep container closed when not in use.
Handling : Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Wash hands and other exposed areas with mild soap and water before eat, drink or smoke and when leaving work.

- Hand protection : Wear suitable gloves resistant to chemical penetration.
- Skin protection : Wear suitable protective clothing.
- Eye protection : Goggles.
- Ingestion : When using, do not eat, drink or smoke.

Information on RMM/Hydrometal S.A.:
All operations are IPPC-compliant (implementing of the Best Available Techniques - BREF-NFM).
Procedures and technical measures like sumps containment are provided under leaching tanks and filters in order to collect any accidental spillage. Measures are taken to avoid or minimize emissions outside the plant.

Inhalation & dermal exposures are controlled and prevented by an integrated “Management system” (or alike) including i.e.:
• Hygiene behaviour: washing hands, changing clothes, no eating / no smoking in the workplace.
• Information – training of the workers on how to avoid exposure.
• Use of protective clothing: P3 masks, gloves, glasses, and the like.
• Cleaning of process equipment and workshop.
• Limited personnel presence in the stockpiling and process zones.
• Continuous medical follow-up of individuals including Bio-monitoring of exposure & health effects (Pb)

All tanks, settlers, filters are provided with sufficient sump containment capacity.
There are special procedures for cleaning and maintenance.
No release to water without “waste-water-treatment”-unit.

Waste related measures are taken to ensure adequate control of risk at the different life cycle stages of the intermediate. Waste generated at the process stage is recycled internally when possible and final wastes are disposed of as hazardous waste in authorized landfills or regulated class 1 dumping sites.

Stability and reactivity

Hazardous decomposition products : Thermal decomposition generates : Toxic vapours.
Materials to avoid : Acids. Oxidizing agent.

Disposal considerations

Avoid release to the environment. Hazardous waste due to toxicity.
Dispose in a safe manner in accordance with local/national regulations.
Dispose of this material and its container at hazardous or special waste collection point.
