| 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.
