INHALED »
If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
Other measures are usually unnecessary.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN » For acute or short term repeated exposures to fluorides:
Fluoride absorption from gastro-intestinal tract may be retarded by calcium salts, milk or antacids.
Fluoride particulates or fume may be absorbed through the respiratory tract with 20-30% deposited at alveolar level.
Peak serum levels are reached 30 mins. post-exposure; 50% appears in the urine within 24 hours.
For acute poisoning (endotracheal intubation if inadequate tidal volume), monitor breathing and evaluate/monitor blood pressure and pulse frequently since shock may supervene with little warning. Monitor ECG immediately; watch for arrhythmias and evidence of Q-T prolongation or T-wave changes. Maintain monitor. Treat shock vigorously with isotonic saline (in 5% glucose) to restore blood volume and enhance renal excretion.
Where evidence of hypocalcaemic or normocalcaemic tetany exists, calcium gluconate (10 ml of a 10% solution) is injected to avoid tachycardia.

MATERIAL DATA »
It is the goal of the ACGIH (and other Agencies) to recommend TLVs (or their equivalent) for all substances for which there is evidence of health effects at airborne concentrations encountered in the workplace. At this time no TLV has been established, even though this material may produce adverse health effects (as evidenced in animal experiments or clinical experience). Airborne concentrations must be maintained as low as is practically possible and occupational exposure must be kept to a minimum.
NOTE: The ACGIH occupational exposure standard for Particles Not Otherwise Specified (P.N.O.S) does NOT apply. Sensory irritants are chemicals that produce temporary and undesirable side-effects on the eyes, nose or throat. Historically occupational exposure standards for these irritants have been based on observation of workers' responses to various airborne concentrations. Present day expectations require that nearly every individual should be protected against even minor sensory irritation and exposure standards are established using uncertainty factors or safety factors of 5 to 10 or more. On occasion animal no-observable-effect-levels (NOEL) are used to determine these limits where human results are unavailable. An additional approach, typically used by the TLV committee (USA) in determining respiratory standards for this group of chemicals, has been to assign ceiling values (TLV C) to rapidly acting irritants and to assign short-term exposure limits (TLV STELs) when the weight of evidence from irritation, bioaccumulation and other endpoints combine to warrant such a limit. In contrast the MAK Commission (Germany) uses a five-category system based on intensive odour, local irritation, and elimination half-life. However this system is being replaced to be consistent with the European Union (EU) Scientific Committee for Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL); this is more closely allied to that of the USA.
OSHA (USA) concluded that exposure to sensory irritants can:
cause inflammation
cause increased susceptibility to other irritants and infectious agents
lead to permanent injury or dysfunction
permit greater absorption of hazardous substances and
acclimate the worker to the irritant warning properties of these substances thus increasing the risk of overexposure.
INGREDIENT DATA WOOD DUST SOFTWOOD: »
Wood dusts produce dermatitis and an increased risk of upper respiratory disease. Epidemiological studies in furniture workers show an increased risk of lung, tongue, pharynx and nasal cancer. An excess risk of leukaemia amongst millwrights probably is associated with exposure to various components used in wood preservation. Impairment of nasal mucociliary function may occur below 5 mg/m3 and may be important in the development of nasal adenocarcinoma amongst furniture workers exposed to hardwoods. Certain exotic hardwoods contain alkaloids which may produce headache, anorexia, nausea, bradycardia and dyspnoea. The softwood TLV-TWA reflects the apparent low risk for upper respiratory tract involvement amongst workers in the building industry. A separate TLV-TWA, for hard woods, is based on impaired nasal mucociliary function reported to contribute to nasal adenocarcinoma and related hyperplasia found in furniture workers.
PERSONAL PROTECTION EYE »
Safety glasses with side shields.
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]
HANDS/FEET »

Gloves should be examined for wear and/ or degradation constantly. Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Factors such as:
frequency and duration of contact,
chemical resistance of glove material,
glove thickness and
dexterity, are important in the selection of gloves.
NOTE: The material may produce skin sensitisation in predisposed individuals. Care must be taken, when removing gloves and other protective equipment, to avoid all possible skin contact.
Contaminated leather items, such as shoes, belts and watch-bands should be removed and destroyed.

Employees working with confirmed human carcinogens should be provided with, and be required to wear, clean, full body protective clothing (smocks, coveralls, or long-sleeved shirt and pants), shoe covers and gloves prior to entering the regulated area.
Employees engaged in handling operations involving carcinogens should be provided with, and required to wear and use halfface filter-type respirators with filters for dusts, mists and fumes, or air purifying canisters or cartridges. A respirator affording higher levels of protection may be substituted.
Emergency deluge showers and eyewash fountains, supplied with potable water, should be located near, within sight of, and on the same level with locations where direct exposure is likely.
Prior to each exit from an area containing confirmed human carcinogens, employees should be required to remove and leave protective clothing and equipment at the point of exit and at the last exit of the day, to place used clothing and equipment in impervious containers at the point of exit for purposes of decontamination or disposal. The contents of such impervious containers must be identified with suitable labels. For maintenance and decontamination activities, authorized employees entering the area should be provided with and required to wear clean, impervious garments, including gloves, boots and continuous-air supplied hood.
Prior to removing protective garments the employee should undergo decontamination and be required to shower upon removal of the garments and hood.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS »
Employees exposed to confirmed human carcinogens should be authorized to do so by the employer, and work in a regulated area.
Work should be undertaken in an isolated system such as a "glove-box" . Employees should wash their hands and arms upon completion of the assigned task and before engaging in other activities not associated with the isolated system.
Within regulated areas, the carcinogen should be stored in sealed containers, or enclosed in a closed system, including piping systems, with any sample ports or openings closed while the carcinogens are contained within.
Open-vessel systems are prohibited.
Each operation should be provided with continuous local exhaust ventilation so that air movement is always from ordinary work areas to the operation.
Exhaust air should not be discharged to regulated areas, non-regulated areas or the external environment unless decontaminated. Clean make-up air should be introduced in sufficient volume to maintain correct operation of the local exhaust system.
For maintenance and decontamination activities, authorized employees entering the area should be provided with and required to wear clean, impervious garments, including gloves, boots and continuous-air supplied hood. Prior to removing protective garments the employee should undergo decontamination and be required to shower upon removal of the garments and hood.
Except for outdoor systems, regulated areas should be maintained under negative pressure (with respect to non-regulated areas).
Local exhaust ventilation requires make-up air be supplied in equal volumes to replaced air.
Laboratory hoods must be designed and maintained so as to draw air inward at an average linear face velocity of 150 feet/ min. with a minimum of 125 feet/ min. Design and construction of the fume hood requires that insertion of any portion of the employees body, other than hands and arms, be disallowed.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED » Accidental ingestion of the material may be damaging to the health of the individual. Fluoride causes severe loss of calcium in the blood, with symptoms appearing several hours later including painful and rigid muscle contractions of the limbs. Cardiovascular collapse can occur and may cause death with increased heart rate and other heart rhythm irregularities. The brain and kidneys may be affected. Other toxic effects include headache, increased saliva output, jerking of the eyeball and dilated pupils, lethargy, stupor, coma and rarely, convulsions.
EYE » Although the material is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC Directives), direct contact with the eye may cause transient discomfort characterised by tearing or conjunctival redness (as with windburn). Slight abrasive damage may also result. The material may produce foreign body irritation in certain individuals.
SKIN » Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected. The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation following contact (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting.
INHALED » Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product. Persons with impaired respiratory function, airway diseases and conditions such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis, may incur further disability if excessive concentrations of particulate are inhaled. Acute effects of fluoride inhalation include irritation of nose and throat, coughing and chest discomfort. A single acute overexposure may even cause nose bleed. Pre-existing respiratory conditions such as emphysema, bronchitis may be aggravated by exposure. Occupational asthma may result from exposure.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS » Long term exposure to high dust concentrations may cause changes in lung function i.e. pneumoconiosis; caused by particles less than 0.5 micron penetrating and remaining in the lung. Prime symptom is breathlessness; lung shadows show on X-ray. Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following repeated or long-term occupational exposure. There is some evidence that inhaling this product is more likely to cause a sensitisation reaction in some persons compared to the general population. There is limited evidence that, skin contact with this product is more likely to cause a sensitisation reaction in some persons compared to the general population. There is sufficient evidence to suggest that this materialdirectly causes cancer in humans. Various woods are able to induce allergies, both of the immediate onset type in woodwork which causes a respiratory syndrome, and of the delayed type which results in eczema from exposure to dusts and direct contact. Cross-reaction is common. Certain alkaloids are contained in some species, causing headache, anorexia, slow heart rate and breathing difficulties. Conjunctivitis is also possible. Allergic reactions are aggravated by fungi and bacteria associated with wood. Cancers of the respiratory tract seem to be more common in those professions associated with the use of wood. This seems to be true for both hardwood and soft wood.

NOTES TO PHYSICIAN » For potassium intoxications:
Hyperkalaemia, in patients with abnormal renal function, results from reduced renal excretion following intoxication.
The presence of electrocardiographic evidence of hyperkalemia or serum potassium levels exceeding 7.5 mE/L indicates a medical emergency requiring an intravenous line and constant cardiac monitoring.
The intravenous ingestion of 5-10 ml of 10% calcium gluconate, in adults, over a 2 minute period antagonises the cardiac and neuromuscular effects. The duration of action is approximately 1 hour. [Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical Toxicology]

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. 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. Within each range the appropriate value depends on: 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. Type of Contaminant: Air Speed: solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., evaporating from tank (in still air) 0.25-0.5 m/s (50-100 f/min) aerosols, fumes from pouring operations, intermittent container filling, low speed conveyer transfers, welding, spray drift, plating acid fumes, pickling (released at low velocity into zone of active generation) 0.5-1 m/s (100-200 f/min.) direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, drum filling, conveyer loading, crusher dusts, gas discharge (active generation into zone of rapid air motion) 1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min) grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, high speed wheel generated dusts (released at high initial velocity into zone of very high rapid air motion). 2.5-10 m/s (500-2000 f/min.)

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS SWALLOWED
» The material is moderately discomforting to the gastro-intestinal tract and may be harmful if swallowed in large quantity. Sulfates are not well absorbed orally, but can cause diarrhoea. Acute potassium poisoning after swallowing is rare, because vomiting usually occurs and renal excretion is fast. Potassium causes a slow, weak pulse, irregularities in heart rhythm, heart block and an eventual fall in blood pressure. Breathing initially becomes faster but the muscles of breathing eventually become paralysed. There can be loss of appetite, extreme thirst, increased volumes of urine, fever, convulsions and gastric disturbances; death may then occur due to failure of breathing and inflammation of the stomach and bowel.
EYE » The dust may produce eye discomfort causing smarting, pain and redness.
SKIN » The material may be mildly discomforting to the skin. Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material. The material may accentuate any pre-existing skin condition.
INHALED » The dust may be discomforting to the upper respiratory tract. Persons with impaired respiratory function, airway diseases and conditions such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis, may incur further disability if excessive concentrations of particulate are inhaled.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS » Principal routes of exposure are by accidental skin and eye contact and inhalation of generated dusts. No human exposure data available. For this reason health effects described are based on experience with chemically related materials. As with any chemical product, contact with unprotected bare skin; inhalation of vapour, mist or dust in work place atmosphere; or ingestion in any form, should be avoided by observing good occupational work practice.

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.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN » Magnesium is present in the blood, as a normal constituent, at concentrations between 1.6 to 2.2 meq/l. Some 30% is plasma bound. At serum magnesium levels of 3-4 mEq/l, signs of CNS depression, loss of reflexes, muscular tone and power, and bradycardia occur. Cardiac arrest (sometimes fatal) and/or respiratory paralysis can occur at plasma levels of 10-15 meq/l. For acute or short term repeated exposures to magnesium;
Symptomatic hypermagnesaemia appears rarely in the absence of intestinal or renal disease.
Elevated magnesium levels may cause hypocalcaemia because of decreased parathyroid hormone activity and decreased endorgan responsiveness.
Patients with severe hypermagnesemia may develop sudden respiratory arrest and must be watched closely for apnoea.

Use fluids, then vasopressors for hypotension. Frequently hypotension responds to calcium administration. Induce emesis or administer lavage if patient presents within 4 hours of ingestion. Use sodium cathartics, with caution, in presence of cardiac or renal failure.
Activated charcoal is not useful.
Calcium is an antagonist of magnesium action and is an effective antidote when serum levels exceed 5MEg/L and the patient exhibits symptoms The adult dose of calcium gluconate is 10 ml of a 10% solution over several minutes. [Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical Toxicology]

INGREDIENT DATA MAGNESIUM SULFATE, ANHYDROUS:
» It is the goal of the ACGIH (and other Agencies) to recommend TLVs (or their equivalent) for all substances for which there is evidence of health effects at airborne concentrations encountered in the workplace. At this time no TLV has been established, even though this material may produce adverse health effects (as evidenced in animal experiments or clinical experience). Airborne concentrations must be maintained as low as is practically possible and occupational exposure must be kept to a minimum. NOTE: The ACGIH occupational exposure standard for Particles Not Otherwise Specified (P.N.O.S) does NOT apply. Sensory irritants are chemicals that produce temporary and undesirable side-effects on the eyes, nose or throat. Historically occupational exposure standards for these irritants have been based on observation of workers' responses to various airborne concentrations. Present day expectations require that nearly every individual should be protected against even minor sensory irritation and exposure standards are established using uncertainty factors or safety factors of 5 to 10 or more. On occasion animal no-observable-effect-levels (NOEL) are used to determine these limits where human results are unavailable. An additional approach, typically used by the TLV committee (USA) in determining respiratory standards for this group of chemicals, has been to assign ceiling values (TLV C) to rapidly acting irritants and to assign short-term exposure limits (TLV STELs) when the weight of evidence from irritation, bioaccumulation and other endpoints combine to warrant such a limit. In contrast the MAK Commission (Germany) uses a five-category system based on intensive odour, local irritation, and elimination half-life. However this system is being replaced to be consistent with the European Union (EU) Scientific Committee for Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL); this is more closely allied to that of the USA. OSHA (USA) concluded that exposure to sensory irritants can:
cause inflammation
cause increased susceptibility to other irritants and infectious agents
lead to permanent injury or dysfunction
permit greater absorption of hazardous substances and
acclimate the worker to the irritant warning properties of these substances thus increasing the risk of overexposure.
PERSONAL PROTECTION EYE »
Safety glasses with side shields; or as required,
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]
HANDS/FEET » Wear general protective gloves, eg. light weight rubber gloves.
OTHER » No special equipment needed when handling small quantities OTHERWISE:
Overalls
Eyewash unit.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS SWALLOWED
» The material is moderately discomforting to the gastro-intestinal tract and may be harmful if swallowed in large quantity. Small amounts or low dose rates are regarded as practically non-harmful. Sulfates are not well absorbed orally, but can cause diarrhoea. Magnesium salts are generally absorbed so slowly that oral administration causes few toxic effects, as the dose is readily expelled via the bowel. If evacuation fails, mucosal irritation and absorption may result. This can result in nervous system depression, heart effects, loss of reflexes and death due to paralysis of breathing. These usually do not occur unless the bowel or kidneys are damaged.
EYE » The dust may produce eye discomfort and abrasive eye inflammation.
SKIN » The material may be slightly discomforting to the skin if exposure is prolonged.
INHALED » The dust may be discomforting to the upper respiratory tract. Persons with impaired respiratory function, airway diseases and conditions such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis, may incur further disability if excessive concentrations of particulate are inhaled.

Date of preparation: 26 March 2009

Section 2: Hazards Identification
Inhalation : Very high concentrations of salt dust may result in inflammations of the mucus membranes of the respiratory tract.
Skin Contact : Dry salt and concentrated solutions can cause withdrawal of fluid from the skin and may, on prolonged contact, produce irritation.
Eye Contact : Salt and salt solutions are not toxic to the eye but concentrations much above that of tears cause a stinging sensation.
Ingestion : Acute and chronic toxic effects can result from the ingestion of excessive amounts of either salt or brine. Salt should not be used as an emetic to induce vomiting. High concentrations produce inflammatory reactions in the gastrointestinal tract and can cause vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions and collapse. The ingestion of hypertonic solutions can cause fatal disturbance of body electrolyte and fluid balance particularly in the young and elderly.
Less than a tablespoon of salt may severely poison an infant and sometimes prove fatal.

Issue: C
HSNO Approved MSDS Page 2 March 26, 2009

Section 4: First Aid Measures
Inhalation : Remove patient to fresh air. Keep warm and at rest. Give drinks if desired.
Ingestion : Vomiting will probably occur. Provided the patient is conscious give plenty of liquid to drink. Obtain immediate medical attention especially if vomiting has not occurred.
Eye Contact : Irrigate with eyewash solution or water. If symptoms develop obtain medical help.
Skin Contact : Wash with plenty of water.
Workplace facilities : Emergency showers and eye wash recommended
NOTES FOR MEDICAL PERSONNEL

Swallowed : Give water to drink. No need to induce vomiting.
Eye : Irrigate with copious quantities of slow flowing water for up to 15 minutes. Eyelids to be held open
Skin : Brush off clothing and wash skin thoroughly with plenty of water. Inhaled : Not normally a risk but some may experience some discomfort if working with dusty product. If exposure has occurred allow the victim to drink water.
Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures

Flammability: Non-flammable
Fire fighting agents: Use agents suitable for type of surrounding fire (dry chemical, CO2 water spray or foam).
Special Hazards: Salt withstands temperatures up to its meting point and beyond without decomposing, but at very high temperatures (greater than approximately 800°C) a vapor may be emitted which is particularly irritating to the eyes.
Protective Equipment: As applicable to the combustion products associated with the fire.

Section 3: Classification and type
Chemical Name : Sodium Chloride
Synonyms: OCEAN SOLIDS
Chemical Formula: NaCl
CAS Number: 7647-14-5

HSNO Approved MSDS Page 3 March 26, 2009

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions: Avoid prolonged contact with the skin and inhalation of dust concentrations, otherwise normal good handling and housekeeping practice is adequate. No special protective clothing is required. An eyewash bottle with clean water should be available.
Spillages : Spillages should be swept up or may be safely water hosed to drain under normal circumstances
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Handling : Salt dust is non-flammable but static electricity can be generated by pneumatic conveying, therefore pipes should be bonded and earthed, especially in environments where a spark could prove hazardous.
Storage : Due to its hydroscopic nature, salt should be stored in a dry atmosphere and away from concentrated acids. Absorbs moisture if the relative humidity is above 75 %
Product should be stored in such a way that it does not present a hazard if product were to fall
Issue: C
HSNO Approved MSDS Page 4 March 26, 2009

Dangerous Exposure : Non specified.
Engineering Controls : Static electricity can be generated by pneumatic conveying, therefore pipes should be bonded and earthed, especially in environments where a spark could prove hazardous
Subsection 2: Engineering Controls
Respiratory Protection : If the process is such that salt dust is generated, a disposable face mask should be worn.
Hand Protection : Gloves to be worn if prolonged contact is anticipated.
Dry salt and concentrated solutions can cause withdrawal of fluid from the skin.
Eye Protection : Wear chemical safety goggles in situations where contact with the eyes may occur.
Skin Protection : Skin should be washed to remove salt. Dry salt and concentrated solutions can cause withdrawal of fluid from the skin.
Other Protective Measures : An eyewash and hand washing facilities should be readily available.

HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
Health Effects
Acute
Swallowed: Can result in nausea, vomiting, convulsions, visual disturbances, loss of consciousness and possible death. Effects may be delayed in onset.
Eye: Moderate eye irritant. Can cause watering of eyes or blurred vision.
Skin: Contact will result in moderate irritation. Can be absorbed through the skin, with effects similar to inhalation.
Inhaled: Vapour is irritant to mucous membrances and respiratory tract. Can result in dilated pupils, clouded vision, blindness, headaches and possible nausea. Prolonged exposure may cause unconsciousness.
Chronic Repeated or prolonged skin contact may lead to dermatitis. Chronic exposure from skin contact, inhalation and swallowing of methanol can result in permanent blindness and central nervous system effects.
First Aid Swallowed: Immediately rinse mouth with water and give plenty of water to drink. Seek immediate medical assistance. If more than 15 minutes from a hospital, induce vomiting.
Eye: Flush affected eye(s) with copious amounts of cold or luke warm water for at least 15 minutes retracting eyelids frequently. Seek medical assistance.
Skin: Flood area with copious amounts of running water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. If rash or discolouration appears or persists seek medical assistance.
Inhaled: 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. If breathing laboured and patient cyanotic (blue), ensure airways are clear and have qualified person give oxygen through a face mask. If breathing has stopped apply artificial respiration at once. In event of cardiac arrest, apply external cardiac massage.
Advice to Doctor: Treat symptomatically. Metabolic acidosis may occur up to 12 hours after ingestion. Adminstration of ethanol reduces toxic effects by blocking the metabolic route to Formaldehyde-Formic acid production in the body.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Exposure Standards: (skin) NZ WES TWA 262mg/m3 (200ppm) STEL 328mg/m3 (250ppm)
Engineering Controls: Use in well ventilated area with local exhaust ventilation or while wearing organic vapour respirator. Do not enter confined spaces where vapour may have collected.
Personal Protection: Wear rubber gloves and protective clothing, wear goggles or faceshield. Use approved respirator
Flammability: Highly flammable liquid. May form flammable vapour mixtures with air. Avoid all ignition sources. Vapour may travel a considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back. Flame proof equipment necessary in areas where methanol is used. Nearby equipment must be earthed.
SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION
Storage and Transport: Store in a cool place out of direct sun. Store away from foodstuffs, oxidising agents and sources of heat/ignition. Always keep containers closed.
Spills and Disposal: Shut off all possible sources of ignition and increase ventilation. Contain spill using sand or soil and collect and seal in drums/containers for disposal. Prevent run off into drains and waterways. Use water spray to disperse vapour. If contamination or sewers or waterways has occurred, advise the local emergency services.
Fire/Explosion Hazard: Highly flammable liquid. Will emit toxic fumes on burning, including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. If safe to do so, remove containers from path or fire and keep cool with water spray. Heating can cause expansion or decomposition leading to violent rupture of containers.
