4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Poison Information Centres in each State capital city can provide additional assistance for scheduled poisons
(Phone; Australia 131 126).
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Give water to drink. Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious patient. Seek immediate medical assistance.
Eye contact: Irrigate with copious quantities of water for 15 minutes. In all cases of eye contamination it is a
sensible precaution to seek medical advice.
Skin contact: Wash contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before
re-use. If irritationoccurs seek medical advice.
Inhalation: Remove victim from exposure - avoid becoming a casualty. Remove contaminated clothing and
loosen remaining clothing. Allow patient to assume most comfortable position and keep warm. Keep at rest until
fully recovered. Seek medical advice if effects persist.
Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Specific hazards: Combustible liquid.
Fire fighting further advice: Combustible liquid. On burning will emit toxic fumes. Fire fighters to wear self-
contained breathing apparatus if risk of exposure to vapour or products of combustion.
Suitable extinguishing media: Water fog (or if unavailable fine water spray), foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide,
dry chemical powder).

immediately. Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination and the inhalation of vapours.
Use absorbent (soil, sand or other inert material). Collect and seal in properly labelled containers for disposal.
Wash area down with detergent and excess water.
LARGE SPILLS: Shut off all possible sources of ignition. Slippery when spilt. Avoid accidents, clean up
immediately. Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination and inhalation of vapours.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
National occupational exposure limits
No value assigned for this specific material by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission
(Worksafe Australia).
However, Expsoure Standard for constituent,
TWA
ppm mg/m3
Oil mist, refined - 5
As published by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission (Worksafe
Australia).
Standard (TWA) is the time-weighted average airborne concentration over an eight-
hour working day, for a five-dayworking week over and entire life. According to
curent knowledge this concentration should neither impair the health of, nor
causeundue 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.
If the directions for use on the product label are followed, exposure of
individuals using the product should notexceed the above standard. The standard was

created for workers who are routinely, potentially exposed during product
manufacture.
Engineering measures: IN THE WORKPLACE: Ensure ventilation is adequate and that air concentrations of
components are controlled below quoted Exposure Standards. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Personal protection equipment: Orica Personal Protection Guide No.1, 1998: B - OVERALLS, SAFETY
SHOES, SAFETY GLASSES, GLOVES (S).
MANUFACTURE, PACKAGING AND TRANSPORT: Avoid skin and eye contact. Wear overalls, safety glasses
and imperviousgloves. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash
contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storage or re-use.
If inhalation risk exists, wear organic vapour respirator meeting the requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS
1716.
PREPARATION AND USE OF PRODUCT: Avoid contact with eyes and skin. When preparing and using the
product wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist and elbow-length PVC gloves. Wash hands after
use.
