Eye Contact:
If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water. Continue flushing until advised to stop by
a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
Ingestion:
Rinse mouth with water. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass of water. Seek medical advice.
Medical attention and special treatment:
Treat symptomatically.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Hazards from combustion products:
Not combustible, however following evaporation of the water component of the material, the residual material can burn if
ignited. On burning will emit toxic fumes.
Precautions for fire fighters and special protective equipment:
Fire fighters to wear self-contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing if risk of exposure to vapour or
products of combustion.
Suitable Extinguishing Media:
Not combustible, however, if material is involved in a fire use: Fine water spray, normal foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide,
dry chemical powder).
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Emergency procedures:
If contamination of sewers or waterways has occurred advise local emergency services.
Methods and materials for containment and clean up:
SMALL SPILLS: Wipe up with rag or absorbent paper. Collect in a container for disposal via special chemical waste
collection.
LARGE SPILLS: Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contact and breathing in vapours. Contain -
prevent run off into drains and waterways. Use absorbent (soil, sand or other inert material). Collect and seal in properly
labelled containers or drums for disposal.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
This material is a Scheduled Poison S6 and must be stored, maintained and used in accordance with the relevant
regulations.
Conditions for safe storage:
Store in cool place and out of direct sunlight. Store away from foodstuffs. Keep containers closed when not in use - check
regularly for leaks.
Precautions for safe handling:

Safety Data Sheet
Occupational Exposure Limits: No value assigned for this specific material by the National Occupational Health and
Safety Commission. However, Exposure Standard(s) for constituent(s):
Oxalic acid: 8hr TWA = 1 mg/m3, 15 min STEL = 2 mg/m3
As published by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission.
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 work day. According to current knowledge this concentration 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. 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.
Engineering controls:
Use in well ventilated areas. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Personal Protective Equipment:
The selection of PPE is dependant on a detailed risk assessment. The risk assessment should consider the work
situation, the physical form of the chemical, the handling methods, and environmental factors.
Personal Protection: C - OVERALLS, SAFETY SHOES, CHEMICAL GOGGLES, GLOVES.
Wear overalls, chemical goggles and impervious gloves. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using
the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storage or re-use.
