Section 4. First-aid measures


Description of necessary first aid measures
Eye contact In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Eyelids should be held away from the eyeball to ensure thorough rinsing.
Check for and remove any contact lenses. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Skin contact In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Inhalation If inhaled, remove to fresh air. In case of inhalation of decomposition products in a
fire, symptoms may be delayed. The exposed person may need to be kept under
medical surveillance for 48 hours. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Ingestion If ingested, call a physician or Poison Control Center immediately. Get medical
attention urgently informing the doctor that a product containing ethylene glycol has
been ingested and specific treatment may be required. Transport casualty together
with the product container, its label, or the safety data sheet urgently to hospital. Do
not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery
position and get medical attention immediately.
Protection of first-aiders No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. It
may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed


See Section 11 for more detailed information on health effects and symptoms.

Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary


Notes to physician In case of inhalation of decomposition products in a fire, symptoms may be delayed.
The exposed person may need to be kept under medical surveillance for 48 hours.

Note: High Pressure Applications


Injections through the skin resulting from contact with the product at high pressure
constitute a major medical emergency. Injuries may not appear serious at first but
within a few hours tissue becomes swollen, discolored and extremely painful with
extensive subcutaneous necrosis.
Surgical exploration should be undertaken without delay. Thorough and extensive
debridement of the wound and underlying tissue is necessary to minimize tissue
loss and prevent or limit permanent damage. Note that high pressure may force the
product considerable distances along tissue planes.

Specific treatments Ethylene Glycol: Gastric irrigation, ethanol or fomepizole may have value in
treatment. Consult physician.

unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material.
Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Provide adequate ventilation. Put on appropriate
personal protective equipment. Floors may be slippery; use care to avoid falling.
For emergency responders Entry into a confined space or poorly ventilated area contaminated with vapor, mist
or fume is extremely hazardous without the correct respiratory protective equipment
and a safe system of work. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear a
suitable chemical protective suit. Chemical resistant boots. See also the
information in "For non-emergency personnel".
Environmental precautions Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways,
drains and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused
environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Small spill Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Absorb with an inert
material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Dispose of via a
licensed waste disposal contractor.
Large spill Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Approach release from
upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas.
Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand,
earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal
according to local regulations. Contaminated absorbent material may pose the
same hazard as the spilled product. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal
contractor.

Appropriate engineering All activities involving chemicals should be assessed for their risks to health, to
controls ensure exposures are adequately controlled. Personal protective equipment should
only be considered after other forms of control measures (e.g. engineering controls)
have been suitably evaluated. Personal protective equipment should conform to
appropriate standards, be suitable for use, be kept in good condition and properly
maintained.
Your supplier of personal protective equipment should be consulted for advice on
selection and appropriate standards. For further information contact your national
organisation for standards.
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the relevant
airborne concentrations below their respective occupational exposure limits.
The final choice of protective equipment will depend upon a risk assessment. It is

(Canada) (ENGLISH)
Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection
important to ensure that all items of personal protective equipment are compatible.
Environmental exposure Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
controls they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some
cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process
equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.

Individual protection measures


Hygiene measures Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before
eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.
Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.
Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and
safety showers are close to the workstation location.
Eye/face protection Safety glasses with side shields.
Skin protection
Hand protection Wear protective gloves if prolonged or repeated contact is likely. Wear chemical
resistant gloves. Recommended: Butyl gloves. Neoprene gloves. The correct
choice of protective gloves depends upon the chemicals being handled, the
conditions of work and use, and the condition of the gloves (even the best
chemically resistant glove will break down after repeated chemical exposures). Most
gloves provide only a short time of protection before they must be discarded and
replaced. Because specific work environments and material handling practices vary,
safety procedures should be developed for each intended application. Gloves
should therefore be chosen in consultation with the supplier/manufacturer and with a
full assessment of the working conditions.
Body protection Use of protective clothing is good industrial practice.
Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task
being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist
before handling this product.
Cotton or polyester/cotton overalls will only provide protection against light
superficial contamination that will not soak through to the skin. Overalls should be
laundered on a regular basis. When the risk of skin exposure is high (e.g. when
cleaning up spillages or if there is a risk of splashing) then chemical resistant aprons
and/or impervious chemical suits and boots will be required.
Other skin protection Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should be
selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be
approved by a specialist before handling this product.
Respiratory protection In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
The correct choice of respiratory protection depends upon the chemicals being
handled, the conditions of work and use, and the condition of the respiratory
equipment. Safety procedures should be developed for each intended application.
Respiratory protection equipment should therefore be chosen in consultation with
the supplier/manufacturer and with a full assessment of the working conditions.
