medical facility for additional treatment. If vomiting occurs

spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration.
Rinse mouth.

Most important symptoms : Kidney toxicity may be recognized by blood in the urine or
and effects, both acute and increased or decreased urine flow. Other signs and symptoms
delayed can include nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhoea,
lumbar pain shortly after ingestion, and possibly narcosis and
death.
Eye irritation signs and symptoms may include a burning sen-
sation, redness, swelling, and/or blurred vision.
Skin irritation signs and symptoms may include a burning sen-
sation, redness, swelling, and/or blisters.
Respiratory irritation signs and symptoms may include a tem-
porary burning sensation of the nose and throat, coughing,
and/or difficulty breathing.

Protection of first-aiders : When administering first aid, ensure that you are wearing the
appropriate personal protective equipment according to the
incident, injury and surroundings.

Immediate medical attention, : The preferred treatment is immediate transportation to a med-

special treatment ical facility and use of appropriate treatment including possible
administration of activated charcoal, gastric lavage and or
gastric aspiration. If none of the above are immediately avail-
able and a delay of more than one hour is anticipated before
such medical attention can be obtained, induction of vomiting
may be appropriate using IPECAC syrup (Contraindicated if
there are any signs of CNS depression). This should be con-
sidered on a case by case basis following specialist advice.
Specific other treatments may include ethanol therapy, fomep-
izole, treatment of acidosis and haemodialysis. Seek specialist
advice without delay.
May cause significant renal, respiratory, and CNS toxicity.
May cause significant acidosis.
Call a doctor or poison control center for guidance.

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 con-
trols. For some substances biological monitoring may also be appropriate.
Validated exposure measurement methods should be applied by a competent person and sam-
ples analysed by an accredited laboratory.
Examples of sources of recommended exposure measurement methods are given below or con-
tact the supplier. Further national methods may be available.

Engineering measures : 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.
Eye washes and showers for emergency use.

General Information:
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 con-
taminated clothing and footwear that cannot be cleaned.
Practice good housekeeping.
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.

nance.
Retain drain downs in sealed storage pending disposal or
subsequent recycle.

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection : If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentra-
tions to a level which is adequate to protect worker health,
select respiratory protection equipment suitable for the spe-
cific conditions of use and meeting relevant legislation.
Check with respiratory protective equipment suppliers.
Where air-filtering respirators are unsuitable (e.g. airborne
concentrations are high, risk of oxygen deficiency, confined
space) use appropriate positive pressure breathing appa-
ratus.
Where air-filtering respirators are suitable, select an appro-
priate combination of mask and filter.
If air-filtering respirators are suitable for conditions of use:
Select a filter suitable for the combination of organic gases
and vapours [Type A/Type P boiling point >65°C (149°F)].

Respirator selection, use and maintenance should be in ac-

cordance with the requirements of the OSHA Respiratory
Protection Standard, 29 CFR 1910.134.

Hand protection
Remarks : 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. When prolonged or frequent
repeated contact occurs. Nitrile rubber gloves. Incidental
contact/Splash protection: PVC or neoprene rubber gloves.
For continuous contact we recommend gloves with break-
through 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
recognize that suitable gloves offering this level of protection
may not be available and in this case a lower breakthrough
time maybe 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.
Glove thickness should be typically greater than 0.35 mm
depending on the glove make and model. Suitability and du-
rability 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. Contami-
nated 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 moistur-
izer is recommended.

Eye protection : If material is handled such that it could be splashed into eyes,
protective eyewear is recommended.

Skin and body protection : Skin protection is not ordinarily required beyond standard
work clothes.
It is good practice to wear chemical resistant gloves.

Protective measures : Personal protective equipment (PPE) should meet recom-

mended national standards. Check with PPE suppliers.

Hygiene measures : Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking and using the
toilet.
Launder contaminated clothing before re-use.

Environmental exposure controls

General advice : Local guidelines on emission limits for volatile substances
must be observed for the discharge of exhaust air containing
vapour.
Minimise release to the environment. An environmental as-
sessment must be made to ensure compliance with local envi-
ronmental legislation.
Information on accidental release measures are to be found in
