| 4. FIRST AID MEASURES | |
INHALATION:
REMOVE THE SOURCE OF CONTAMINATION OR MOVE THE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR. ENSURE
AIRWAYS ARE CLEAR AND HAVE A QUALIFIED PERSON GIVE OXYGEN THROUGH A FACE
MASK IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT. IF SYMPTOMS DEVELOP SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION.
INGESTION:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. WASH OUT MOUTH WITH WATER. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
SKIN:
WASH AFFECTED AREA THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND WATER. IF SYMPTOMS DEVELOP
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
EYE:
IF CONTACT WITH THE EYE(S) OCCURS, WASH WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER
HOLDING EYELID(S) OPEN. TAKE CARE NOT TO RINSE CONTAMINATED WATER INTO THE
NON-AFFECTED EYE. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
FIRST AID FACILITIES: EYE WASH AND NORMAL WASHROOM FACILITIES.
ADVICE TO DOCTOR: TREAT SYMPTOMATICALLY.
| 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES | |
SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
FLOODING AMOUNTS OF WATER. DO NOT USE WATER SPRAY OR WATER FOG.
HAZARDS FROM COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
UNDER FIRE CONDITIONS THIS PRODUCT MAY EMIT TOXIC AND/OR IRRITATING FUMES
INCLUDING CHLORINE DIOXIDE.
SPECIFIC HAZARDS:
MAY BE A MILD OXIDISER. MAY INCREASE FLAMMABILITY OF COMBUSTIBLE, ORGANIC
OR OTHER READILY OXIDISABLE MATERIALS. CONTACT WITH MOISTURE WILL PRODUCE
CHLORINE DIOXIDE GAS. THE LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT FOR CHLORINE IS 10%. IF
LARGE AMOUNTS OF THE PRODUCT ARE INVOLVED IN A FIRE, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT
THE APPLICATION OF WATER MIST OF FOG COULD RELEASE ENOUGH CHLORINE DIOXIDE
GAS IN CONFINED SPACE TO PRESENT AN EXPLOSION HAZARD. THE CHLORINE DIOXIDE
WILL DISSOLVE IN FLOODING AMOUNTS OF WATER.
HAZCHEM CODE: NONE ALLOCATED
DECOMPOSITION TEMP.: 160 DEG. C
PRECAUTIONS IN CONNECTION WITH FIRE:
FIRE-FIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND SELF CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS (SCBA) OPERATED IN POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE.
| 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES:
INCREASE VENTILATION. EVACUATE ALL UNNECESSARY PERSONNEL. WEAR SUFFICIENT
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION AND FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING TO MINIMISE SKIN AND
EYE EXPOSURE. SWEEP OR VACUUM MATERIAL AVOIDING DUST GENERATION AND THEN
TRANSFER MATERIAL TO A SUITABLE CONTAINER. IF THIS MATERIAL ENTER THE
WATERWAYS CONTACT THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AUTHORITY, OR YOUR LOCAL
WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY.
| 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING:
AVOID GENERATING OR BREATHING DUST. WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
TO PREVENT INHALATION, SKIN AND EYE CONTACT. PROHIBIT SOURCES OF HEAT,
STATIC DISCHARGE, SPARKS OR IGNITION. USE IN ADEQUATE VENTILATION AREA.
HAVE EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT (FOR FIRES, SPILLS, LEAKS, ETC.) READILY
AVAILABLE. LABEL CONTAINERS. KEEP CONTAINERS CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE.
ENSURE A HIGH LEVEL OF PERSONAL HYGIENE IS MAINTAINED WHEN USING THIS
PRODUCT. THAT IS; ALWAYS WASH HANDS BEFORE EATING, DRINKING, SMOKING OR
USING THE TOILET.
CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE:
STORE IN A COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED AREA, OUT OF DIRECT LIGHT. KEEP
CONTAINERS TIGHTLY CLOSED. STORE AWAY FROM INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS. PREVENT
IGNITION SOURCES AND ACCUMULATION OF STATIC ELECTRICITY.
| 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
NATIONAL EXPOSURE STANDARDS:
NO EXPOSURE STANDARDS HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR THIS MATERIAL, HOWEVER,
THE NATIONAL OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMISSION (NOHSC) TWA
EXPOSURE STANDARD FOR DUST NOT OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IS 10 MG/M3. NOTE THAT
THIS EXPOSURE STANDARD DOES NOT NECESSARILY PROVIDE SAFE WORKING LIMITS
FOR THIS PRODUCT, AS NO STUDIES HAVE BEEN PERFORMED SPECIFICALLY ON THIS
MATERIAL, AND ANY EXPOSURE SHOULD BE MINIMISED.
FOR CHLORINE DIOXIDE:
TWA: 0.1 PPM; 0.28 MG/M3
STEL: 0.3 PPM; 0.83 MG/M3
BIOLOGICAL LIMIT VALUES: NO BIOLOGICAL LIMIT ALLOCATED.
OTHER EXPOSURE INFORMATION:
TWA - THE TIME-WEIGHTED AVERAGE AIRBORNE CONCENTRATION OVER AN EIGHT-HOUR
WORKING DAY, FOR A FIVE-DAY WORKING WEEK OVER AN ENTIRE WORKING LIFE.
STEL (SHORT TERM EXPOSURE LIMIT) - THE AVERAGE AIRBORNE CONCENTRATION OVER
A 15 MINUTE PERIOD WHICH SHOULD NOT BE EXCEEDED AT ANY TIME DURING A
NORMAL EIGHT-HOUR WORKDAY.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
PROVIDE SUFFICIENT VENTILATION. WHERE DUSTS OR AIRBORNE PARTICULATES MAY
BE GENERATED, AN EXHAUST VENTILATION SYSTEM IS RECOMMENDED.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
IF ENGINEERING CONTROLS ARE NOT EFFECTIVE IN CONTROLLING AIRBORNE EXPOSURE
THEN RESPIRATORY PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE USED SUITABLE FOR
PROTECTING AGAINST AIRBORNE CONTAMINANTS. FINAL CHOICE OF APPROPRIATE
BREATHING PROTECTION IS DEPENDANT UPON ACTUAL AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS AND
THE TYPE OF BREATHING PROTECTION REQUIRED WILL VARY ACCORDING TO
INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES. EXPERT ADVICE MAY BE REQUIRED TO MAKE THIS
DECISION. REFERENCE SHOULD BE MADE TO AUSTRALIAN STANDARDS AS/NZS 1715,
