TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Highly flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. | NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. | Use water in large amounts, alcohol-resistant foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide. |
| EXPLOSION | Vapour/air mixtures are explosive. | Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Use non-sparking handtools. | In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. |
| EXPOSURE | AVOID ALL CONTACT! | ||
| Inhalation | Burning sensation. Cough. Headache. Sore throat. Laboured breathing. Shortness of breath. | 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. Serious skin burns. | 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 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. Burning sensation. Shock or collapse. | 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 . |
