2. HEALTH HAZARD
2.1 EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE
Potential symptoms of overexposure are irritation of the upper respiratory tract, eyes and skin.
Burns to skin and eyes. Acute dermatitis.
2.2 ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS /TOXICOLOGICAL DATA
SWALLOWED: The material is moderately corrosive, harmful if swallowed and is capable of causing burns to mouth, throat and related organs with extreme discomfort and pain. Considered an unlikely route of entry in normal industrial usage. Small amounts or low dose rates are regarded as practically non-harmful.
EYE: The material is corrosive to the eyes and is capable of causing temporary impaired vision.
The material may produce moderate eye irritation leading to inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may cause conjunctivitis.
SKIN: The material is moderately discomforting to skin and prolonged or repeated exposure may lead to dermatitis (non-allergic) often characterised by local redness of the surrounding skin.
INHALATION: Not normally a hazard in typical industrial usage due to the non-volatile nature of the product, but may be caused by high pressure spraying of the product or mist arising from water wash operations. This material may produce respiratory tract irritation and associated inflammation of local organs, most notably the throat, oesophagus and lungs.

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS: Primary route of exposure is normally via skin / eye contact.
Inhalation of vapour or mist may cause choking, coughing, weakness, headache or dizziness. Repeated inhalation may cause pulmonary oedema and cyanosis. Ingestion of a large quantity may lead to severe abdominal pains, thirst, acidemia, difficult breathing, convulsions, collapse, shock and death. The product DOES NOT cause phosphorous poisoning.
2.3 FIRST AID SWALLOWED
If poisoning occurs contact a doctor or the Poisons Information Centre.
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Give a glass of water.
EYE
If this product comes into contact with eyes immediately wash / flush the eyes for at least 15 minutes with fresh running water. Ensure irrigation under eyelids by occasionally lifting upper and lower lids.
Transport to doctor or hospital without delay.
SKIN
If skin contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and wash contaminated area with soap and water.
INHALED
If fumes or combustion products are inhaled, remove patient to fresh air. If breathing is shallow or has stopped ensure clear airway and apply resuscitation. Transport to doctor or hospital without delay.
ADVICE TO DOCTOR
Treat symptoms with reference to specific health effects identified above.
For acute or short term repeated exposure to strong acids:
1. Airway problems may arise from laryngeal edema and inhalation exposure.
Treat with 100% oxygen initially.
2. Respiratory distress may require cricothyroidotomy if endotracheal intubation is contraindicated by excessive swelling.
3. Intravenous lines should be established immediately in all cases where there is evidence of circulatory compromise.
4. Strong acids produce a coagulation necrosis characterised by formation of a coagulum (eschar) as a result of the desiccating action of the acid on proteins in specific tissues.
INGESTION:
1. Immediate dilution (milk or water) within 30 minutes post ingestion is recommended.
2. Do not attempt to neutralise the acid since exothermic reation may extend the corrosive injury.
3. 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 a adult.
4. Charcoal has no place in acid management.
5. Some authors suggest the use of lavage within 1 hour of ingestion SKIN
1. Skin lesions require copious saline irrigation. Treat chemical burns as thermal burns with non- adherent gauze and wrapping.
2 Deep second – degree burns may benefit from topical silver sulfadiazine.
EYE
1. Eye injuries require retraction of the eyelids to ensure through irrigation of the conjunctival 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.
2. Cycloplegic drops (1% cyclopentolate for short-term use or 5% homatropine for longer term use) antibiotic drops, vasoconstrictive agents or artificial tears may be indicated dependent or the severity of the injury.
3. Steroid eye drops should only be administered with the approval of a consulting ophthalmologist.

2.3 ENGINEERING CONTROLS
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. 2.4 PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE: Chemical goggles. Full face shield. Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and all lenses concentrate them.
SKIN: Rubber gloves PVC gloves.
Safety footwear.
Rubber boots.
OTHER
Overalls Plastic apron.
Barrier Cream.
Eyewash unit.
Ensure there is ready access to a safety shower.
RESPIRATOR
Respirator protection may be required when ANY “Worst Case” vapour-phase concentration is exceeded (see Computer Prediction in Exposure Standards”).
