TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. | NO open flames. | Use water spray, foam, powder, carbon dioxide. |
| EXPLOSION | Above 101°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed. | Above 101°C use a closed system and ventilation. | In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. |
| EXPOSURE | AVOID ALL CONTACT! | ||
| Inhalation | Cough. Sore throat. | Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention. |
| Skin | Redness. | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. |
| Eyes | Redness. Pain. | Wear safety spectacles. | Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible). Refer for medical attention. |
| Ingestion | Sore throat. | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. | Rinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer for medical attention . |
