DEFINITIONS
Dangerous Goods Products that are regulated for transport by Road and Rail under the national guide are Dangerous Goods. Products can be
classed as Dangerous Goods if they have a flash point below 60.5?a pH below 3 or above 11, are explosives or toxic.
C,
These goods will be allocated a UN No., Packing Group, Hazchem Code, and possibly a subsidiary risk.
Hazardous Substances Hazardous Substances are those products that are intrinsically hazardous by nature, rather than by misuse. These include
mutagens, teratogens, carcinogens, products that are toxic (but not sufficiently toxic to be classed as Dangerous Goods or
carry a subsidiary risk), and products that pose environmental risks.
Poisons Poisons are products that are regulated by the dose or exposure, often having physical and chemical effects at certain
concentrations particular to the nature of the product. For example, in small doses, some products are harmless, but with
increased concentration or exposure these products can be extremely harmful. The classification indicates First Aid, etc.

Ingestion
If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Keep at rest. Seek immediate medical attention.
Eye Contact
Flush eyes with large amounts of water until irritation subsides. Seek immediate medical attention.
Skin Contact
Flush area with large amounts of water and wash area with soap if available. Remove contaminated clothing,
including shoes, and launder before reuse. Seek medical attention for skin irritations.
Inhalation
Using proper respiratory protection, immediately remove the affective victim from exposure. Administer
artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. Keep at rest. Seek immediate medical attention.
First Aid Facilities
Provide eye baths and safety showers.
Medical Attention
Treat according to symptoms. Avoid gastric lavage - aspiration of product to the lungs may result in chemical
pneumonitis.

Prevent vapours or dusts from building up in confined areas. Ensure that drain valves are closed at all times.
Clean up and report spills immediately.
Methods and materials for containment
Major Land Spill
?Eliminate sources of ignition.
?Warn occupants of downwind areas of possible fire and explosion hazard, where present.
?Prevent product from entering sewers, watercourses, or low-lying areas.
?Keep the public away from the area.
?Shut off the source of the spill if possible and safe to do so.
?Advise authorities if substance has entered a watercourse or sewer or has contaminated soil or vegetation.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS: PERSONAL PROTECTION
National Exposure Standards
The time weighted average concentration (TWA) for this product is: None specified: consider 5 g/m3, which
means the highest allowable exposure concentration in an eight-hour day for a five-day working week. The
short term exposure limit (STEL) is: None specified: consider 5 g/m3, which is the maximum allowable
exposure concentration at any time. Replacing a TWA or STEL value for some products is a Peak Limitation
value (Peak): None applies in this case. In addition to the exposure concentrations may be a subsidiary
caution in such cases where the product is a skin sensitiser, represented as (Sk), where none applies in this
case.
Biological Limit Values (BLV)
No data available
Engineering Controls: Ventilation
The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended to control process emissions near the source. Laboratory
samples should be handled in a fume hood. Provide mechanical ventilation of confined spaces. Use
explosion proof equipment.
Personal Protective Equipment
Respiratory Protection: Where concentrations in air may approach or exceed the limits described in the
National Exposure Standards, it is recommended to use a half-face filter mask to protect from overexposure by
inhalation. A type `A' filter material is considered suitable for this product.
Eye Protection: Always use safety glasses or a face shield when handling this product.
Skin/Body Protection: Always wear long sleeves, long trousers, or coveralls, and enclosed footwear or safety
boots when handling this product. It is recommended that chemical resistant gloves be worn when handling
this product.
