4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation:	Move person to fresh air. If breathing is difficult have trained person administer oxygen. If respiration stops, have a trained person administer artificial respiration. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin contact:	After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of soap and water.
Eye contact:	Immediately flush eyes with a directed stream of water for at least 15 minutes, forcibly holding eyelids apart to ensure complete irrigation of all eye and tissue. Obtain medical advice.
Ingestion:	Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If swallowed do not induce vomiting. Give large quantities of water. (If available give several glasses of milk) If vomiting occurs spontaneously keep airway clear and give more water. Get medical attention if there are signs of discomfort or ill health.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Extinguishing media:	Do not attempt to extinguish the fire without a self-contained breathing apparatus. Do not let the fire burn. Flood with copious amounts of water. Do not use dry chemical extinguishers since there is potential for a violent reaction.
Fire-fighting Techniques / Comments	Fire-fighters should wear full protective clothing and a self-contained breathing apparatus. Using a 10% solution of sodium carbonate, thoroughly decontaminate fire-fighting equipment and clothing after the incident.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal Precautions:

Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear chemical safety goggles and chemical resistant gloves.

Handle product in a well-ventilated area.

Environmental Precautions:

Do not release into the environment.

Prevent flow of material into water source and begin monitoring available chlorine and pH immediately.

Notify all downstream users of possible contamination.

Methods for Cleaning Up

Contain spilled material. Any spillage should be cleaned up as soon as possible. Do not add water to spilled material. Using clean dedicated equipment, sweep and scoop all spilled material, contaminated soil, and other contaminated material and place into clean, dry containers for disposal. Do not close drums containing wet or damp material. Do not transport wet or damp material.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

General Handling:	Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Avoid breathing airborne particulates; wear respiratory protection when exposure is possible. Wear goggles or face shield and rubber gloves when handling. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Wash contaminated clothing before use. Vapour space in a closed container may contain a slight amount of chlorine gas and compounds from decomposition of the product.
Special Mixing and Handling Instructions	Mix only with water. Use clean dry utensils. Do not mix this product with remnants of any other products. Such uses may cause a violent reaction leading to fire or explosion. Contamination with moisture, organic matter or other chemicals may start a chemical reaction with generation of heat, liberation of hazardous gases, and possible generation of fire and explosion. Vapour space in a closed container may contain a slight amount of chlorine gas and other chlorine containing compounds from decomposition of the product. Exposure to chlorine gas may cause burning of the eyes, burning of the nose and mouth and irritation of the linings of the respiratory tract with coughing, a choking sensation, pain, vomiting, nausea, headache, dizziness and fainting.

Storage:	Store in original container and in a cool dry area where temperatures do not exceed 52 ° C. Keep container tightly closed and store away from incompatible materials. Do not allow water to get into the container. Keep out of reach of children.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Personal Protective Equipment:
	Wear chemical safety goggles and chemical resistant gloves
Respiratory Protection:
	In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
Ventilation:
	Use only in well-ventilated areas.
