First-aid measures

1) Description of first aid measures

Protection of first-aiders: No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.  It

             may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower

             eyelids.  Check for and remove any contact lenses.  Continue to rinse for at least 10

             minutes.  Get medical attention.

Inhalation:       Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.  If

             not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial

             respiration or oxygen by trained personnel.  It may be dangerous to the person

             providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.  Get medical attention if adverse

             health effects persist or are severe.  If unconscious, place in recovery position and

             get medical attention immediately.  Maintain an open airway.  Loosen tight clothing

             such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.

Skin contact       :       Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water.  Remove contaminated clothing and

             shoes.  Get medical attention if symptoms occur.  Wash clothing before reuse.

             Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.

Ingestion       :       Wash out mouth with water.  Remove dentures if any.  Remove victim to fresh air

             and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.  If material has been

             swallowed and the exposed person is conscious, give small quantities of water to

             drink.  Stop if the exposed person feels sick as vomiting may be dangerous.  Do not

             induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.  If vomiting occurs,

             the head should be kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs.  Get medical

             attention if adverse health effects persist or are severe.  Never give anything by

             mouth to an unconscious person.  If unconscious, place in recovery position and get

             medical attention immediately.  Maintain an open airway.  Loosen tight clothing such

             as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.

             information in "For non-emergency personnel".

2) Environmental precautions       :  Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains

             and sewers.  Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental

             pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).

3) Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:

Small spill       :       Move containers from spill area.  Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a

             designated, labeled waste container.  Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal

             contractor.

Large spill       :       Move containers from spill area.  Approach release from upwind.  Prevent entry into

             sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas.  Vacuum or sweep up material

             and place in a designated, labeled waste container.  Dispose of via a licensed waste

             disposal contractor.

Handling and storage

1) Precautions for safe handling:

Protective measures:

Put on appropriate personal protective equipment. Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container.

Advice on general occupational hygiene: Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.

2) Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials  and food and drink. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.

Exposure controls / personal protection

1) Recommended monitoring procedures:

If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal, workplace atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to determine the effectiveness of the ventilation or other control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory protective equipment. Reference should be made to monitoring standards, such as the following: European Standard EN 689 (Workplace atmospheres - Guidance for the assessment of exposure by inhalation to chemical agents for comparison with limit values and measurement strategy) European Standard EN 14042 (Workplace atmospheres - Guide for the application and use of procedures for the assessment of exposure to chemical and biological agents) European Standard EN 482 (Workplace atmospheres - General requirements for the performance of procedures for the measurement of chemical agents) Reference to national guidance documents for methods for the determination of hazardous substances will also be required.

2) Exposure controls

Appropriate engineering controls: No special ventilation requirements. Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control worker exposure to airborne contaminants. If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure below any recommended or statutory limits.

Individual protection measures:

Hygiene measures:       Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before

             eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.

             Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.

             Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.  Ensure that eyewash stations and

             safety showers are close to the workstation location.              

Eye/face protection:       Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk

             assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists,

             gases or dusts.  If contact is possible, the following protection should be worn,

             unless the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: chemical splash

             goggles.  Recommended: splash goggles              

Skin protection                            

Hand protection:       Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should

             be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates

             this is necessary.  Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer,

             check during use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties.  It

             should be noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may be different

             for different glove manufacturers.  In the case of mixtures, consisting of several

             substances, the protection time of the gloves cannot be accurately estimated.  > 8

             hours (breakthrough time): butyl rubber, nitrile rubber, neoprene

Body protection:       Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task

             being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist

             before handling this product.  Recommended: overall, lab coat              

Other skin protection       :  Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling this product.  Recommended: neoprene

Respiratory protection:  Use a properly fitted, particulate filter respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary.  Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator.

Environmental exposure:  Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure controls       they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation.  In some cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.

Remark:  The penetration-time of the recommended gloves depend not only on the material. Also other factors may have influence on the penetration-time , as the thickness of them or the specific use or conditions (temperature). In any case, certificate materials (for example following EN 374) should be selected. Please ask your supplier, if the gloves are suitable for the intended use.
