ACUTE HAZARDS | PREVENTION | FIRE FIGHTING | |
---|---|---|---|
FIRE & EXPLOSION | Combustible. See Chemical dangers Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air. Risk of fire and explosion on contact with strong oxidants. | NO open flames. NO contact with oxidizing agents. Prevent build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g., by grounding). | Use powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide. |

SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID | |
Inhalation | Headache. Nausea. Vomiting. | Avoid inhalation of fine dust. Use local exhaust and breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention. |
Skin | Redness. Tingling sensation. | Protective clothing. Protective gloves. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. |
Eyes | Redness. Watering of the eyes. | Wear face shield or safety goggles. | First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention. |
Ingestion | Burning sensation in the mouth. Excessive salivation. Headache. Nausea. Vomiting. | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating. | Rinse mouth. Give a slurry of activated charcoal in water to drink. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer immediately for medical attention. |
SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING |
