Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ...
significant ocular lesions which are present twenty-four hours or more after
instillation into the eye(s) of experimental animals.
Repeated or prolonged eye contact may cause inflammation characterised by
temporary redness (similar to windburn) of the conjunctiva (conjunctivitis);
temporary impairment of vision and/or other transient eye damage/ulceration may
occur.
SKIN
Limited evidence exists, or practical experience predicts, that the material
either produces inflammation of the skin in a substantial number of individuals
following direct contact, and/or produces significant inflammation when applied
to the healthy intact skin of animals, for up to four hours, such inflammation
being present twenty-four hours or more after the end of the exposure period.
Skin irritation may also be present after prolonged or repeated exposure; this
may result in a form of contact dermatitis (nonallergic). The dermatitis is
often characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling (oedema) which may
progress to blistering (vesiculation), scaling and thickening of the epidermis.
At the microscopic level there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer
of the skin (spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the epidermis.
Skin contact is not thought to have harmful health effects (as classified under
EC Directives); the material may still produce health damage following entry
through wounds, lesions or abrasions.
INHALED
Inhalation may produce health damage*.
Limited evidence exists, or practical experience predicts, that the material
produces irritation of the respiratory system in a significant number of
individuals following inhalation.
Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
On the basis, primarily, of animal experiments, concern has been expressed by at
least one classification body that the material may produce carcinogenic or
mutagenic effects; in respect of the available information, however, there
presently exists inadequate data for making a satisfactory assessment.
Principal routes of exposure are usually by inhalation of vapour and skin
contact / eye contact
Prolonged or continuous skin contact with the liquid may cause defatting with
drying, cracking, irritation and dermatitis following.
Long term or repeated ingestion exposure of isopropanol may produce
incoordination, lethargy and reduced weight gain.
Repeated inhalation exposure to isopropanol may produce narcosis, incoordination
and liver degeneration. Animal data show developmental effects only at exposure
levels that produce toxic effects in the adult animals. Isopropanol does not
cause genetic damage in bacterial or mammalian cell cultures or in animals.
There are inconclusive reports of human sensitisation from skin contact with
isopropanol. Chronic alcoholics are more tolerant of systemic isopropanol than
are persons who do not consume alcohol; alcoholics have survived as much as 500
ml. of 70% isopropanol.
Continued voluntary drinking of a 2.5% aqueous solution through two successive
generations of rats produced no reproductive effects.
NOTE: Commercial isopropanol doers not contain "isopropyl oil". An excess
incidence of sinus and laryngeal cancers in isopropanol production workers has
been shown to be caused by the byproduct "isopropyl oil". Changes in the

production processes now ensure that no byproduct is formed. Production changes
include use of dilute sulfuric acid at higher temperatures.
Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SWALLOWED
If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre.
- If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
- If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down
position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
- Observe the patient carefully.
- Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced
awareness; i.e. becoming unconsciousness
- Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as
casualty can comfortably drink.
- Seek medical advice.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
- Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running
water.
- Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from
eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
- Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a
doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
- Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
- Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by
skilled personnel.
SKIN
If skin contact occurs:
- Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear
- Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
- Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
INHALED
- If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
- Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
- Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed,
where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
- Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve
resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if
necessary.
- Transport to hospital, or doctor.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
For acute or short term repeated exposures to isopropanol:
- Rapid onset respiratory depression and hypotension indicates serious
ingestions that require careful cardiac and respiratory monitoring together with
immediate intravenous access.
- Rapid absorption precludes the usefulness of emesis or lavage 2 hours
post-ingestion. Activated charcoal and cathartics are not clinicallyuseful.
Ipecac is most useful when given 30 mins. post-ingestion.

predominant wind direction, resulting in a crosswind protective action distance
equal to the downwind protective action distance.
2 PROTECTIVE ACTIONS should be initiated to the extent possible, beginning with
those closest to the spill and working away from the site in the downwind
direction. Within the protective action zone a level of vapour concentration
may exist resulting in nearly all unprotected persons becoming incapacitated
and unable to take protective action and/or incurring serious or irreversible
health effects.
3 INITIAL ISOLATION ZONE is determined as an area, including upwind of the
incident, within which a high probability of localised wind reversal may
expose nearly all persons without appropriate protection to life-threatening
concentrations of the material.
4 SMALL SPILLS involve a leaking package of 200 litres (55 US gallons) or less,
such as a drum (jerrican or box with inner containers). Larger packages leaking
less than 200 litres and compressed gas leaking from a small cylinder are also
considered "small spills".
LARGE SPILLS involve many small leaking packages or a leaking package of
greater than 200 litres, such as a cargo tank, portable tank or a "one-tonne"
compressed gas cylinder.

Exposure at or below the recommended TLV-TWA and STEL is thought to
minimise the potential for inducing narcotic effects or significant
irritation of the eyes or upper respiratory tract. It is believed, in the
absence of hard evidence, that this limit also provides protection against
the development of chronic health effects. The limit is intermediate to
that set for ethanol, which is less toxic, and n-propyl alcohol, which is
more toxic, than isopropanol.

OTHERWISE: General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. If
risk of overexposure exists, wear SAA approved respirator. Correct fit is
essential to obtain adequate protection. Provide adequate ventilation in
warehouse or closed storage areas. Air contaminants generated in the workplace
possess varying "escape" velocities which, in turn, determine the "capture
velocities" of fresh circulating air required to effectivelyremove the
contaminant.

motion
Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidlywith distance away from the
opening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generallydecreases with the
square of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the
air speed at the extraction point should be adjusted, accordingly, after
reference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the
extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2 m/s (200-400 f/min.) for
extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from the extraction
point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits within
the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are
multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or
used.
In confined spaces where there is inadequate ventilation, wear full-face air
