TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Flammable. | NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. | Use water spray, powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide. |
| EXPLOSION | Above 54°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed. | Above 54°C use a closed system, ventilation and explosion-proof electrical equipment. | In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. |
| EXPOSURE | AVOID ALL CONTACT! | ||
| Inhalation | Burning sensation. Cough. Shortness of breath. Sore throat. | Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Refer for medical attention. |
| Skin | Skin burns. Pain. Blisters. | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention . |
| Eyes | Redness. Pain. Blurred vision. Severe deep burns. | Wear face shield. | First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention. |
| Ingestion | Abdominal cramps. Burning sensation. Nausea. Shock or collapse. Sore throat. Vomiting. | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. | Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer for medical attention . |
