Hazards Identification
3.
Environmental hazard in case of accident (spillage or leakage): Very toxic to
aquatic organisms; may cause long term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
First Aid Measures
4.
General: Have the product container, label or Materials Safety Data Sheet with you
when calling the Poisons Information Service, AgChemAccess, a physician or when
going for medical treatment. Move out of contaminated area and place victim in the
recovery position if necessary. Remove contaminated clothing and dispose of safely.
Skin Contact: Wash affected area immediately with plenty and water. If skin
irritation persists, call a physician. Remove contaminated clothing and wash
thoroughly before re-use.
Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
including under eyelids. Remove contact lenses if worn. Call a physician or the
poison control centre immediately.
Inhalation: Remove patient to fresh air and seek medical advice. Keep the patient
warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or had stopped, administer artificial
respiration.
Ingestion: If swallowed, contact poison control centre or seek medical advice
immediately and show product container or label. DO NOT induce vomiting. Rinse
mouth with clean water and dispose of residues safely.
Further Information: Note to medical staff: There is no specific antidote available
for this product. Treat symptomatically. DO NOT induce vomiting as this product
contains petroleum distillates and/or aromatic solvents.
Fire-fighting measures:
5.
Extinguishing Media for small fires: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry
chemical or carbon dioxide.
Extinguishing Media for large fires: Use alcohol-resistant foam.
Extinguishing Media which should not be used: Do not use a solid water jet as
this may scatter and spread the fire.
Specific hazards during fire-fighting: During a fire dense black smoke will be
produced containing toxic and irritating vapours. Thus exposure may be a hazard to
health. Note that Flash-back is possible over a considerable distance.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Wear full protective clothing and
self-contained breathing apparatus. DO NOT breathe fumes.
Further Information: Contain fire-fighting water with sand or some such bunding
material to prevent entry to drains or water courses. Avoid breathing smoke. Cool
closed containers exposed to the fire with a water spray.
Accidental release measures:
6.
Personal precautionary measures: Keep sources of ignition away from affected
area. Wear the personal protective equipment outlined in sections 7 & 8 below.
Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Wash skin area with soap and water.
Wash clothing before re-use.
Environmental protection measures: Keep the area isolated and do not allow
contamination to enter drains or waterways. Prevent further leakage if safe to do so.
Spillage or uncontrolled discharges into watercourses must be alerted to the National
Rivers Authority or Environmental Agency (Tel: 0800 807060).
Procedures for cleaning/absorption: Soak up with sand or other non-combustible
absorbent material using mechanical handling equipment and place in containers for
disposal according to local/national regulations (see section 13). Clean
contaminated floors and objects thoroughly and dispose of cleaning equipment
safely. For large spillages, barricade the area and consult the manufacturer.
Handling and storage:
7.
Handling: Use the personal protective equipment detailed in section 8. Avoid
contact with skin or eyes. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke and wash hands
and exposed skin after work.
Storage: Store in a cool dry and well-ventilated place in the original containers and
protect from excessive heat or cold. Keep out of the reach of children. Store away
from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs.
Additional information: The product is stable for at least two years when stored at
ambient temperatures in the unopened container. Ensure temperature does not
exceed 40癈.
Exposure controls/Personal protection:
8.
COMPONENTS WITH WORKPLACE CONTROL PARAMETERS
Components Exposure limits Values
3
difenconazole 8 mg/m 8 h TWA
3
2-methylpropan-1-ol 50 ppm 154 mg/m 8 h TWA
3
75 ppm 231 mg/m 15 min STEL
Engineering measures to reduce exposure: Engineering controls to avoid
exposure are preferable to personal protective equipment where practically feasible
to use. Good general ventilation is sufficient for most operations and local exhaust
ventilation is needed in some situations. Assess the exposure and deploy additional
measures where there is a chance that the relevant exposure limit may be exceeded.
If thought necessary, consider seeking additional occupational hygiene advice.
Personal protective equipment: Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Keep
work clothes separate from other clothing. Clothing that cannot be cleaned should be
burned. When using, consult the label for appropriate protective equipment. In all
other situations, use the following personal protective equipment.
Eye protection: Wear eye protection (safety glasses) with side shields. Where
contact with the liquid is a risk, chemical goggles or a face shield are recommended.
Hand protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves specified to the appropriate
standard and made of nitrile, polyvinyl chloride or neoprene. Use gloves with a
breakthrough time appropriate to the duration of the exposure. Wash contamination
from the gloves immediately and dispose of safely if perforated or contaminated on
the inside. Wash hands before eating, drinking or smoking and before using the
toilet.
Respiratory protection: When handling opened containers of the product or when
there is a risk that a container may open, wear a respirator which conforms to
EN149FFP3 or EN140P3. These respirators should only be used control residual risk
for short periods when where other measures such as containment or local exhaust
ventilation have already been deployed. Adhere to the maintenance and wearing
instructions of the respirator manufacturer. Use a self-contained breathing apparatus
in the event of an emergency spillage since the exposure level is not known.
Skin and body protection: Wear suitable chemical-resistant protective clothing
based on the potential exposure risk over normal clothes to provide two barriers.
When finished, wash with soap and water after removing protective clothing. Take a
shower if necessary. Decontaminate clothing before re-use or use disposable
clothing. Do not eat, drink or smoke while working. Store away from food, drink or
animal feeding stuffs.
