3. COMPOSITION INFORMATION
If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre (Phone Australia 131 126, New Zealand 0800
764 766).
Inhalation: Remove victim from exposure - avoid becoming a casualty. Remove contaminated clothing and
loosen remaining clothing. Allow patient to assume most comfortable position and keep warm. Keep at rest until
fully recovered. If breathing laboured and patient cyanotic (blue), ensure airways are clear and have a qualified
person give oxygen through a facemask. If breathing has stopped apply artificial respiration at once. In the event
of cardiac arrest, apply external cardiac massage. Seek immediate medical advice.
Skin Contact: If skin or hair contact occurs, immediately remove contaminated clothing and flush skin and hair
with running water. Continue flushing with water until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a
Doctor; or for 15 minutes and transport to Doctor or Hospital. For gross contamination, immediately drench with
water and remove clothing. Continue to flush skin and hair with plenty of water (and soap if material is insoluble).
For skin burns, cover with a clean, dry dressing until medical help is available. If blistering occurs, do NOT break
blisters. If swelling, redness, blistering, or irritation occurs seek medical assistance.
Eye contact: If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush the eyes continuously with running water. Continue flushing
until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a Doctor; or for at least 15 minutes and transport to
Doctor or Hospital.
Ingestion: Immediately rinse mouth with water. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass of water to
drink. Never give anything by the mouth to an unconscious patient. If vomiting occurs give further water.
Immediately call Poisons Centre or Doctor.
PPE for First Aiders: Wear safety shoes, overalls, gloves, chemical goggles, respirator. Use with adequate
ventilation. If inhalation risk exists wear organic vapour/particulate respirator meeting the requirements of
AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716. Available information suggests that gloves made from nitrile rubber should be
suitable for intermittent contact. However, due to variations in glove construction and local conditions, the user
should make a final assessment. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash
contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storing or re-using.
Fire fighting further advice: On burning or decomposing may emit toxic fumes. Fire fighters to wear self-
contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing if risk of exposure to vapour or products of
combustion or decomposition.
SMALL SPILLS
Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination. Avoid inhalation of vapours or dust. Wipe up
with absorbent (clean rag or paper towels). Collect and seal in properly labelled containers or drums for disposal.
LARGE SPILLS
If safe to do so, shut off all possible sources of ignition. Clear area of all unprotected personnel. Slippery when
spilt. Avoid accidents, clean up immediately. Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination
and the inhalation of vapours. Work up wind or increase ventilation. Contain - prevent run off into drains and
waterways. Use absorbent (soil, sand or other inert material). Use a spark-free shovel. Collect and seal in
properly labelled containers or drums for disposal. If contamination of crops, sewers or waterways has occurred
advise local emergency services.
Handling: Avoid eye contact and skin contact. Avoid inhalation of vapour, mist or aerosols.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place and out of direct sunlight. Store away from foodstuffs. Store
away from incompatible materials described in Section 10. Store away from sources of heat and/or ignition.
Store locked up. Keep container standing upright. Keep containers closed when not in use - check regularly for
leaks.
Classified as a C1 (COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID) for the purpose of storage and handling, in accordance with the
requirements of AS 1940. Refer to State Regulations for storage and transport requirements.
This material is classified as a Class 9 Miscellaneous Dangerous Good as per the criteria of the "Australian Code
for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road & Rail" and/or the "New Zealand NZS5433: Transport of
Dangerous Goods on Land" and must be stored in accordance with the relevant regulations.
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.
‘Sk' Notice - absorption through the skin may be a significant source of exposure. The exposure standard is
invalidated if such contact should occur.
These Exposure Standards are guides to be used in the control of occupational health hazards. All atmospheric
contamination should be kept to as low a level as is workable. These exposure standards should not be used as
fine dividing lines between safe and dangerous concentrations of chemicals. They are not a measure of relative
toxicity.
If the directions for use on the product label are followed, exposure of individuals using the product should not
exceed the above standard. The standard was created for workers who are routinely, potentially exposed during
product manufacture.
Biological Limit Values: As per the "National Model Regulations for the Control of Workplace Hazardous
Substances (Safe Work Australia)" the ingredients in this material do not have a Biological Limit Allocated.
Engineering Measures: Ensure ventilation is adequate to maintain air concentrations below Exposure
Standards. Use only in well ventilated areas. Use with local exhaust ventilation or while wearing appropriate
respirator. Vapour heavier than air - prevent concentration in hollows or sumps. Do NOT enter confined spaces
where vapour may have collected.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) must be suitable for the nature of the work and any hazard associated with
the work as identified by the risk assessment conducted.
Wear safety shoes, overalls, gloves, chemical goggles, respirator. Use with adequate ventilation. If inhalation
risk exists wear organic vapour/particulate respirator meeting the requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS
1716. Available information suggests that gloves made from nitrile rubber should be suitable for intermittent
contact. However, due to variations in glove construction and local conditions, the user should make a final
assessment. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash contaminated
clothing and other protective equipment before storing or re-using.
Hygiene measures: Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. When using do not eat, drink or
smoke. Wash hands prior to eating, drinking or smoking. Avoid contact with clothing. Avoid eye contact and skin
contact. Avoid inhalation of vapour, mist or aerosols. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close
to the workstation location.
