TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Combustible. | NO open flames. NO contact with incompatible substances. See Chemical Dangers. | Use water spray, powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide. |
| EXPLOSION | Above 72°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed. | Above 72°C use a closed system and ventilation. | In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. |
| EXPOSURE | AVOID ALL CONTACT! AVOID EXPOSURE OF (PREGNANT) WOMEN! | ||
| Inhalation | Cough. Sore throat. Dizziness. Drowsiness. | Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention. |
| Skin | MAY BE ABSORBED! Redness. | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. |
| Eyes | Redness. Pain. | Wear face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing protection. | First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention. |
| Ingestion | Abdominal pain. Diarrhoea. Nausea. Vomiting. | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating. | Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer for medical attention . |
