Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

EYES: Immediately wash with fresh water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention immediately.

SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing as soon as possible; this will be a fire hazard. Wash exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation persists, consult a physician. Launder contaminated leather shoes or clothing should be discarded.

INHALATION: In event of over exposure remove individual to fresh air, taking steps necessary to protect the rescuer. If unconscious but breathing, place in recovery position. If breathing stops, administer artificial respiration. Seek medical assistance.

INGESTION: If this material is swallowed do not induce vomiting. If vomiting begins, lower victim´s head in an effort to prevent vomit from entering lungs. Immediately seek medical assistance. If victim is unconscious do not attempt to administer fluids, place in recovery position and protect airway.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media: Use water spray, dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide. Never use water in a jet.

Accidental release measures

Shut off source and contain with sand or earth to prevent entry to watercourses and sewers. Contain spill immediately in smallest area possible.

Handling and storage

Handle in a well-ventilated area or provide efficient exhaust ventilation. Wear long sleeved, chemical resistant gloves, and also safety glasses if there is a risk of splashing. Avoid prolonged contact with the skin.

Store in properly designed tanks or approved tightly closed containers in cool, well ventilated situations away from sources of ignition. Protect from static discharges.

All hazards precautions given here must be applied to handling of empty containers.

Exposure controls / personal protection

TECHNICAL PROTECTION MEASURES:

Appropriate engineering controls relevant to task.

- Containment as appropriate;

- Segregation of the emitting process;

- Good standard of general ventilation;

- Effective contaminant extraction;

ORGANISATIONAL PROTECTION MEASURES

- Minimisation of manual phases;

- Minimise number of staff exposed;

- Management/supervision in place to check that the RMMs in place are being used correctly and OCs followed;

- Training for staff on good practice;

- Avoidance of contact with contaminated tools and objects;

- Regular cleaning of equipment and work area;

- Good standard of personal hygiene

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:

- Substance/task appropriate gloves;

- Skin coverage with appropriate barrier material based on potential for contact with the chemicals;

- Substance/task appropriate respirator;
