4. FIRST AID MEASURES

General Information : Not expected to be a health hazard when used under normal

conditions.

Inhalation : No treatment necessary under normal conditions of use. If

symptoms persist, obtain medical advice.

Skin Contact : Remove contaminated clothing. Flush exposed area with water

and follow by washing with soap if available. If persistent

irritation occurs, obtain medical attention. When using high

pressure equipment, injection of product under the skin can

occur. If high pressure injuries occur, the casualty should be

sent immediately to a hospital. Do not wait for symptoms to

develop. Obtain medical attention even in the absence of

apparent wounds.

Eye Contact : Flush eye with copious quantities of water. If persistent

irritation occurs, obtain medical attention.

Ingestion : In general no treatment is necessary unless large quantities

are swallowed, however, get medical advice.

Advice to Physician : Treat symptomatically. High pressure injection injuries require

prompt surgical intervention and possibly steroid therapy, to

minimise tissue damage and loss of function. Because entry

wounds are small and do not reflect the seriousness of the

underlying damage, surgical exploration to determine the

extent of involvement may be necessary. Local anaesthetics or

hot soaks should be avoided because they can contribute to

swelling, vasospasm and ischaemia. Prompt surgical

decompression, debridement and evacuation of foreign

material should be performed under general anaesthetics, and

wide exploration is essential.

No biological limit allocated.

Exposure Controls : The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary

depending upon potential exposure conditions. Select controls

based on a risk assessment of local circumstances.

Appropriate measures include: Adequate ventilation to control

airborne concentrations. Where material is heated, sprayed or

mist formed, there is greater potential for airborne

concentrations to be generated.

Define procedures for safe handling and maintenance of

controls. Educate and train workers in the hazards and control

measures relevant to normal activities associated with this

product. Ensure appropriate selection, testing and

maintenance of equipment used to control exposure, e.g.

personal protective equipment, local exhaust ventilation. Drain

down system prior to equipment break-in or maintenance.

Retain drain downs in sealed storage pending disposal or for

subsequent recycle. Always observe good personal hygiene

measures, such as washing hands after handling the material

and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash

work clothing and protective equipment to remove

contaminants. Discard contaminated clothing and footwear that

cannot be cleaned. Practice good housekeeping.

Personal Protective

Equipment

: Personal protective equipment (PPE) should meet

recommended national standards. Check with PPE suppliers.

Respiratory Protection : No respiratory protection is ordinarily required under normal

conditions of use. In accordance with good industrial hygiene

practices, precautions should be taken to avoid breathing of

material. If engineering controls do not maintain airborne

concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker

health, select respiratory protection equipment suitable for the

specific conditions of use and meeting relevant legislation.

Check with respiratory protective equipment suppliers. Where

air-filtering respirators are suitable, select an appropriate

combination of mask and filter. Select a filter suitable for

combined particulate/organic gases and vapours [boiling point

>65°C(149 °F)].

Hand Protection : Where hand contact with the product may occur the use of

gloves approved to relevant standards (e.g. Europe: EN374,

US: F739) made from the following materials may provide

suitable chemical protection: PVC, neoprene or nitrile rubber

gloves. Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on

usage, e.g. frequency and duration of contact, chemical

resistance of glove material, dexterity. Always seek advice

from glove suppliers. Contaminated gloves should be replaced.

Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care.

Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves,

hands should be washed and dried thoroughly. Application of a

non-perfumed moisturizer is recommended.

For continuous contact we recommend gloves with

breakthrough time of more than 240 minutes with preference

for > 480 minutes where suitable gloves can be identified. For

short-term/splash protection we recommend the same, but

recognise that suitable gloves offering this level of protection

may not be available and in this case a lower breakthrough

time may be acceptable so long as appropriate maintenance

and replacement regimes are followed. Glove thickness is not

a good predictor of glove resistance to a chemical as it is

dependent on the exact composition of the glove material.

Eye Protection : Wear safety glasses or full face shield if splashes are likely to

occur.

Protective Clothing : Skin protection not ordinarily required beyond standard issue

work clothes.

Monitoring Methods : Monitoring of the concentration of substances in the breathing

zone of workers or in the general workplace may be required to

confirm compliance with an OEL and adequacy of exposure

controls. For some substances biological monitoring may also

be appropriate. Validated exposure measurement methods

should be applied by a competent person and samples

analysed by an accredited laboratory. Examples of sources of

recommended exposure measurement methods are given

below or contact the supplier. Further national methods may be

available.
