4. FIRST AID MEASURES
If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre (Phone Australia 131 126, New Zealand 0800
764 766).
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.
Skin Contact: If skin or hair contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and flush skin and hair with running
water. If swelling, redness, blistering or irritation occurs seek medical assistance. For gross contamination,
immediately drench with water and remove clothing. Continue to flush skin and hair with plenty of water (and soap
if material is insoluble). For skin burns, cover with a clean, dry dressing until medical help is available. If
blistering occurs, do NOT break blisters. If swelling, redness, blistering, or irritation occurs seek medical
assistance.

Safety Data Sheet
Eye contact: If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush the eyes continuously with running water. Continue flushing
until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a Doctor; or for at least 15 minutes and transport to
Doctor or Hospital.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass of water to drink.
Never give anything by the mouth to an unconscious patient. If vomiting occurs give further water. Immediately
call Poisons Centre or Doctor.
PPE for First Aiders: Wear safety shoes, overalls, gloves, chemical goggles, respirator. Use with adequate
ventilation. If inhalation risk exists wear organic vapour/particulate respirator meeting the requirements of
AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716. Available information suggests that gloves made from nitrile rubber should be
suitable for intermittent contact. However, due to variations in glove construction and local conditions, the user
should make a final assessment. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash
contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storing or re-using.
Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Hazchem Code: 1W
Suitable extinguishing media: If material is involved in a fire use water fog (or if unavailable fine water spray),
alcohol resistant foam, standard foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder).
Specific hazards: May intensify fire; oxidiser.
Fire fighting further advice: On burning or decomposing may emit toxic fumes. Fire fighters to wear self-
contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing if risk of exposure to vapour or products of
combustion or decomposition.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SMALL SPILLS
Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination. Avoid inhalation of vapours or dust. Wipe up
with absorbent (clean rag or paper towels). Collect and seal in properly labelled containers or drums for disposal.
LARGE SPILLS
If safe to do so, shut off all possible sources of ignition. Clear area of all unprotected personnel. Slippery when
spilt. Avoid accidents, clean up immediately. Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination
and the inhalation of dust. Work up wind or increase ventilation. Cover with damp absorbent (inert material, sand
or soil). Sweep or vacuum up, but avoid generating dust. Use a spark-free shovel. Collect and seal in properly
labelled containers or drums for disposal. If contamination of crops, sewers or waterways has occurred advise
local emergency services.
Dangerous Goods - Initial Emergency Response Guide No: 31
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Avoid eye contact and repeated or prolonged skin contact. Avoid inhalation of dust.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place and out of direct sunlight. Store away from foodstuffs. Store
away from incompatible materials described in Section 10. Store away from sources of heat and/or ignition.
Store locked up. Keep container standing upright. Keep containers closed when not in use - check regularly for
spills.

Safety Data Sheet
This material is classified as a Division 5.1 Oxidising Substance as per the criteria of the "Australian Code for the
Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road & Rail" and/or the "New Zealand NZS5433: Transport of Dangerous
Goods on Land" and must be stored in accordance with the relevant regulations.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
National occupational exposure limits:
TWA STEL NOTICES
ppm mg/m3 ppm mg/m3
Chlorine 1 Peak 3 Peak - - -
limitation limitation
As published by Safe Work Australia.
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 workday.
These Exposure Standards are guides to be used in the control of occupational health hazards. All atmospheric
contamination should be kept too 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 not
exceed the above standard. The standard was created for workers who are routinely, potentially exposed during
product manufacture.
Biological Limit Values: As per the "National Model Regulations for the Control of Workplace Hazardous
Substances (Safe Work Australia)" the ingredients in this material do not have a Biological Limit Allocated.
Engineering Measures: Ensure ventilation is adequate to maintain air concentrations below Exposure
Standards. Use only in well ventilated areas. Avoid generating and inhaling dusts. Use with local exhaust
ventilation or while wearing dust mask.
Personal Protection Equipment: SAFETY SHOES, OVERALLS, GLOVES, CHEMICAL GOGGLES,
RESPIRATOR.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) must be suitable for the nature of the work and any hazard associated with
the work as identified by the risk assessment conducted.
Wear safety shoes, overalls, gloves, chemical goggles, respirator. Use with adequate ventilation. If inhalation
risk exists wear organic vapour/particulate respirator meeting the requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS
1716. Available information suggests that gloves made from nitrile rubber should be suitable for intermittent
contact. However, due to variations in glove construction and local conditions, the user should make a final
assessment. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash contaminated
clothing and other protective equipment before storing or re-using.
Hygiene measures: Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. When using do not eat, drink or
smoke. Wash hands prior to eating, drinking or smoking. Avoid contact with clothing. Avoid eye contact and
