TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. | NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. | Use water spray, powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide. |
| EXPLOSION | Above 42.2°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed. | Above 42.2°C use a closed system, ventilation and explosion-proof electrical equipment. | In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. |
| EXPOSURE | PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS! AVOID ALL CONTACT! | IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR! | |
| Inhalation | Sore throat. Burning sensation. Cough. Laboured breathing. Shortness of breath. Symptoms may be delayed. See Notes. | Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention. |
| Skin | Redness. Pain. Skin burns. | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | First rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, then remove contaminated clothes and rinse again. Refer for medical attention . |
| Eyes | Redness. Pain. Severe deep burns. | 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 | Burning sensation. Abdominal pain. Shock or collapse. | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. | Rinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer for medical attention . |

| NOTES |
|
The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation is therefore essential. Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered. |
