TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Combustible. Liquid formulations containing organic solvents may be flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. | NO open flames. | Use water spray, powder, foam, carbon dioxide. |
| EXPLOSION | Risk of fire and explosion if formulations contain flammable/explosive solvents. | ||
| EXPOSURE | PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS! AVOID EXPOSURE OF ADOLESCENTS AND CHILDREN! | IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR! | |
| Inhalation | Dizziness. Sweating. Laboured breathing. Nausea. Pupillary constriction, muscle cramp, excessive salivation. | Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention. |
| Skin | MAY BE ABSORBED! Further see Inhalation. | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention . |
| Eyes | Wear safety spectacles 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 cramps. Vomiting. Diarrhoea. Weakness. Muscle twitching. Convulsions. Unconsciousness. Further see Inhalation. | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating. | Rinse mouth. Give a slurry of activated charcoal in water to drink. Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Rest. Refer for medical attention . |
