TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Highly flammable. Heating will cause rise in pressure with risk of bursting. | NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. | Use foam, carbon dioxide, powder. Water may be ineffective. |
| EXPLOSION | Vapour/air mixtures are explosive. Heating will cause rise in pressure with risk of bursting. | Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g., by grounding). Use non-sparking handtools. Do NOT use compressed air for filling, discharging, or handling. Use non-sparking handtools. | In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. |
| EXPOSURE | PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS! | ||
| Inhalation | Cough. Nausea. Headache. Dizziness. Incoordination. Drowsiness. Unconciousness. | Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention. |
| Skin | Redness. | Protective gloves. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention . |
| Eyes | Redness. | Wear safety goggles 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 | Sore throat. Abdominal pain. Diarrhoea. Nausea. Vomiting. Further see Inhalation. | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating. | Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer immediately for medical attention. |
