Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Inhalation
Effects: May cause allergic respiratory reaction. Irritating to the respiratory system.
Symptoms: Shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing. The effect of inhalation may be delayed.
First Aid: Remove person to fresh air. If signs/symptoms continue, get medical attention. Show the safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
Skin contact
Effects: May cause slight irritation.
Symptoms: Slight irritation.
First Aid: Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Wash off immediately with plenty of water. If symptoms persist, call a doctor. Show the safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
Eye contact
Effects: May cause slight irritation.
Symptoms: Slight irritation.
First Aid: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 min. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first five minutes, then continue rinsing the eye. If symptoms persist, call a doctor. Show the safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
Ingestion
Effects: Ingestion may cause gastro-intestinal irritation.
Symptoms: Irritation.
First Aid: Rinse mouth with water and drink plenty of water. If symptoms persist, call a doctor. Show the safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Standard procedure for chemical fires; alcohol resistant foam, water spray, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
Hazardous combustion products: On burning, this material may generate toxic gases of combustion such as oxides of carbon, nitrogen and sulphur (COx, NOx and SOx) just like any organic material.
Specific hazards arising from the chemical: May cause an allergic respiratory reaction.
Protective equipment and precautions for fire fighters: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions
Wear suitable personal protection.
Respiratory Protection: Maintain adequate ventilation. When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate certified respirators. Respirator with a particle filter (EN 143). P3 filters are recommended.
Eye protection: Safety glasses with side-shields. Avoid contact with eyes.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves/clothing.
Hand Protection: Use protective gloves that meet the minimum requirements of EN420 when handling solid products. Gloves that meet the additional requirements of EN374-2 should be worn when handling of liquid products. Practical experience has shown that nitrile rubber, butyl rubber, natural rubber (latex) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) gloves offer adequate protection. There is no additional material, thickness, or breakthrough time requirements. Chemical resistant gloves, as defined according to EN374-3 are not required.
Environmental precautions
Prevent the material from entering surface water or sanitary sewer system. Do not discharge directly to a water source. If accidental spillage or washings enter drains or watercourses contact the local Environmental Authorities
Methods for cleaning up
Use appropriate personal protection. Avoid contact with the product. Contain spilled product. Collect spilled material by non-dispersive methods or with a vacuum cleaner equipped with a high efficiency filter. After spillage avoid generating aerosols or dust from dried preparation. Do not sweep, brush, use compressed air, which can create aerosols. Avoid splashing and high pressure washing. Provide for sufficient ventilation. Wash with plenty of water.
Handling and storage
Handling
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wear suitable gloves and eye/face protection. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is forme. Avoid accumulation of dust. Avoid breathing dust or spray mist. Conduct regular cleaning of equipment, work area and clothing.
Storage
Keep container tightly closed in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. Temperature 0-25°C (32°F-77°F).
Storage conditions: In unbroken packaging - dry and protected from the sun.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Due to the intrinsic hazard for respiratory sensitization which is associated to enzymes, the industry and its trade associations have over the years developed and updated several guidelines on the safe industrial handling of enzyme products, and guidelines on the development of safe enzyme containing consumer products. Workshops on these issues have also been arranged by the trade associations in order to convey product stewardship and to ensure correct risk management. Examples of such guidelines are shown below:
