Section 4 - HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

EYE
» The material can produce severe chemical burns to the eye following direct contact. Vapours or mists may be
extremely irritating.
» When applied to the eye(s) of animals, the material produces severe ocular lesions which are present twenty-
four hours or more after instillation.
» The material may produce moderate eye irritation leading to inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to
irritants may produce conjunctivitis.

SKIN
» The material can produce severe chemical burns following direct contact with the skin.
» Bare unprotected skin should not be exposed to this material.
» The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition.
» The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce a contact
dermatitis (nonallergic). This form of dermatitis is often characterised by skin redness (erythema) and
swelling the epidermis. Histologically there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer (spongiosis) and
intracellular oedema of the epidermis.

INHALED
» Evidence shows, or practical experience predicts, that the material produces irritation of the respiratory
system in a substantial number of individuals following inhalation.
» Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
» The material may produce respiratory tract irritation. Symptoms of pulmonary irritation may include
coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, nausea, and a burning sensation.
Unlike most organs, the lung can respond to a chemical insult or a chemical agent, by first removing or
neutralising the irritant and then repairing the damage (inflammation of the lungs may be a consequence).

The repair process (which initially developed to protect mammalian lungs from foreign matter and antigens)
may, however, cause further damage to the lungs (fibrosis for example) when activated by hazardous chemicals.
Often, this results in an impairment of gas exchange, the primary function of the lungs. Therefore prolonged
exposure to respiratory irritants may cause sustained breathing difficulties.

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS

» Principal routes of exposure are usually by skin contact with the material, eye contact with the material
and accidental ingestion.
A prompt response to all contact is imperative to minimise damage.
Reaction to contact with broken skin is prompt and intense. Reaction to
contact with intact skin apart from initial soapy feeling may be delayed,
but unless removed quickly will result in burns, which may proceed
to deep ulceration with scarring.

Section 5 - FIRST AID MEASURES

SWALLOWED
» DO NOT delay.
• For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor at once.
• Urgent hospital treatment is likely to be needed.
• 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

unconscious.
• Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can comfortably drink.
• Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.

EYE
» DO NOT delay.
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
» DO NOT delay.
If skin or hair contact occurs:
• Immediately flush body and clothes with large amounts of water, using safety shower if available.
• Quickly remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
• Wash skin and hair with running water. Continue flushing with water until advised to stop by the Poisons
Information Centre.
• Transport to hospital, or doctor.

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, without delay.

ADVICE TO DOCTOR
» For acute or short-term repeated exposures to highly alkaline materials:
• Respiratory stress is uncommon but present occasionally because of soft tissue edema.
• Unless endotracheal intubation can be accomplished under direct vision, cricothyroidotomy or tracheotomy
may be necessary.
• Oxygen is given as indicated.
• The presence of shock suggests perforation and mandates an intravenous line and fluid administration.
• Damage due to alkaline corrosives occurs by liquefaction necrosis whereby the saponification of fats and
solubilisation of proteins allow deep penetration into the tissue.
Alkalis continue to cause damage after exposure.
INGESTION:
• Milk and water are the preferred diluents
No more than 2 glasses of water should be given to an adult.
• Neutralising agents should never be given since exothermic heat reaction may compound injury.
* Catharsis and emesis are absolutely contra-indicated.
* Activated charcoal does not absorb alkali.
* Gastric lavage should not be used.
Supportive care involves the following:
• Withhold oral feedings initially.
• If endoscopy confirms transmucosal injury start steroids only within the first 48 hours.
• Carefully evaluate the amount of tissue necrosis before assessing the need for surgical intervention.

EYE
• Full face shield.
• Chemical goggles.
• Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A
written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or restrictions on use, should be created for each
workplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals
in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their
removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye
irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first
signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have
washed hands thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].

» The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced inflammation. Repeated or
prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.
The material may produce severe skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure, and may produce a
contact dermatitis (nonallergic). This form of dermatitis is often characterised by skin redness (erythema)
thickening of the epidermis.
Histologically there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer (spongiosis) and intracellular oedema
of the epidermis. Prolonged contact is unlikely, given the severity of response, but repeated exposures may
produce severe ulceration.
Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ceases. This may be
due to a non-allergenic condition known as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur
following exposure to high levels of highly irritating compound. Key criteria for the diagnosis of RADS
include the absence of preceding respiratory disease, in a non-atopic individual, with abrupt onset of
persistent asthma-like symptoms within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the irritant. A
reversible airflow pattern, on spirometry, with the presence of moderate to severe bronchial hyperreactivity
on methacholine challenge testing and the lack of minimal lymphocytic inflammation, without eosinophilia,
have also been included in the criteria for diagnosis of RADS. RADS (or asthma) following an irritating
inhalation is an infrequent disorder with rates related to the concentration of and duration of exposure to
the irritating substance. Industrial bronchitis, on the other hand, is a disorder that occurs as result of
exposure due to high concentrations of irritating substance (often particulate in nature) and is completely
reversible after exposure ceases. The disorder is characterised by dyspnea, cough and mucus production.
