Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
鈥? Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running
water.
鈥? 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.
鈥? Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a
doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
鈥? Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
鈥? Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by
skilled personnel.
SKIN
If skin or hair contact occurs:
鈥? Immediately flush body and clothes with large amounts of water, using safety
shower if available.
鈥? Quickly remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
鈥? Wash skin and hair with running water. Continue flushing with water until
advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre.
鈥? Transport to hospital, or doctor.
INHALED
鈥? If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
鈥? Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
鈥? Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed,
where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
鈥? 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.
鈥? Transport to hospital, or doctor, without delay.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
For acute or short term repeated exposures to strong acids:
鈥? Airway problems may arise from laryngeal edema and inhalation exposure. Treat
with 100% oxygen initially.
鈥? Respiratory distress may require cricothyroidotomy if endotracheal intubation
is contraindicated by excessive swelling
鈥? Intravenous lines should be established immediately in all cases where there
is evidence of circulatory compromise.
鈥? Strong acids produce a coagulation necrosis characterised by formation of a
coagulum (eschar) as a result of the dessicating action of the acid on proteins
in specific tissues.
INGESTION:
鈥? Immediate dilution (milk or water) within 30 minutes post ingestion is
recommended.
鈥? DO NOT attempt to neutralise the acid since exothermic reaction may extend the
corrosive injury.
鈥? Be careful to avoid further vomit since re-exposure of the mucosa to the acid
is harmful. Limit fluids to one or two glasses in an adult.
鈥? Charcoal has no place in acid management.
鈥? Some authors suggest the use of lavage within 1 hour of ingestion.
SKIN:
鈥? Skin lesions require copious saline irrigation. Treat chemical burns as
thermal burns with non-adherent gauze and wrapping.
鈥? Deep second-degree burns may benefit from topical silver sulfadiazine.
EYE:
鈥? Eye injuries require retraction of the eyelids to ensure thorough irrigation
of the conjuctival cul-de-sacs. Irrigation should last at least 20-30 minutes.
DO NOT use neutralising agents or any other additives. Several litres of saline
are required.

FOOTNOTES
1 PROTECTIVE ACTION ZONE is defined as the area in which people are at risk
of harmful exposure. This zone assumes that random changes in wind direction
confines the vapour plume to an area within 30 degrees on either side of the
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.
5 Guide 132 is taken from the US DOT emergency response guide book.
6 IERG information is derived from CANUTEC - Transport Canada.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use in a well-ventilated area.
If risk of inhalation or overexposure exists, wear SAA approved respirator or
work in fume hood.
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. Local exhaust
ventilation may be required in specific circumstances. If risk of overexposure
exists, wear 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 effectively remove the contaminant.

motion
Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the
opening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases 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.
