Acute - Inhaled Inhalation of product vapours may cause irritation of the nose, throat and
respiratory system.
Chronic - Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting leading to
dermatitis. Prolonged inhalation may cause central nervous system
depression with symptoms including dizziness, drowsiness, nausea and

Product Name: SUDAN 111 0.5%
Not classified as hazardous according to criteria of NOHSC
Other Exposure Info. According to current knowledge these concentrations should neither impair
the health of, nor cause undue discomfort to, nearly all workers. 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. 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.
Eng. Controls Use with good general ventilation. If mists or vapours are produced local
exhaust ventilation should be used.
Personal Protection
Respirator Type If engineering controls are not effective in controlling airborne
(AS 1716) exposure then an approved air respirator with a replaceable organic vapour
filter should be used. 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, Selection, Use and maintenance of
Respiratory Protective Devices; and AS/NZS 1716, Respiratory Protective
Devices.
Eye Protection Safety glasses with side shields, goggles or full face-shield should be
worn as described in Australian Standard AS/NZS 1337 ?Eye Protectors for
Industrial Applications.
Glove Type Impervious PVC or rubber gloves should be worn to avoid prolonged skin
contact.
Clothing Suitable protective clothing should be worn e.g. cotton overalls buttoned
at neck and wrist. When large quantities are handled the use of plastic
aprons and rubber boots is recommended.
Work/Hygienic Practices Ensure a high level of personal hygiene is maintained when using this
product. Always wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking or using the
toilet.
