SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Exposure: Irrigate eyes at eye wash station and repeat until pain free. Seek
medical attention if irritation develops or persists, or if visual changes
occur.
Skin Exposure: In case of contact, wash with plenty of soap and water. Seek
medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
Inhalation: If respiratory irritation or distress occurs remove victim to fresh
air. Seek medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
Ingestion: If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-3 glasses of water to drink
and do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention. Do not leave
victim unattended. To prevent aspiration of swallowed product, lay victim on
side with head lower than waist. If vomiting occurs and the victim is conscious,
give water to further dilute the chemical.
Medical conditions possibly aggravated by exposure: Inhalation of product may
aggravate existing chronic respiratory problems such as asthma, emphysema, or
bronchitis. Skin contact may aggravate existing skin disease. Chronic
overexposure may cause pneumoconiosis ("dusty lung" disease).
SECTION 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing media: non combustible and non flammable - product is an
extinguishing agent.
Unusual fire/explosion hazards: in a fire this material may decompose, releasing
oxides of sulfur and carbon (see Section 10).
Insensitive to mechanical impact or static discharge.
HMIS Hazard Ranking;
Health = 1, Flammability = 0, Reactivity = 0, Personal Protective Equipment:
1/2 mask APR w/HEPA cartridges (see Section 8).
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Clean up released material using vacuum or wet sweep and shovel to minimize
generation of dust. Wear appropriate respiratory protection. Bag and drum for
disposal. If product is used and/or contaminated, use PPE and containment
appropriate to the nature of the mixture. Prevent material from entering
waterways.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Avoid skin, eye, or respiratory exposure. Use appropriate PPE when handling or
maintaining equipment, and wash thoroughly after handling (see Section 8). Keep
product in original container or extinguisher. Contents may be under pressure -
inspect for extinguisher rust periodically to insure container integrity. Do not
mix with other extinguishing agents.
SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
During the application of this product against fires, exhaust gases and the
products of incomplete combustion (PICs) are the principal respiratory hazards.
In the manufacture of extinguishers, automated systems and point source
ventilation controls sufficiently minimize respiratory exposure. Employers and
employees must use their collective judgment in determining occupational
settings where the use of a dust mask or air purifying respirator is prudent.
The need for respiratory protection is not likely for short-term use in well
ventilated areas.
Respiratory protection: use N95 dust mask or air-purifying respiratory (APR)
with high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters.
Eye protection: wear chemical goggles.
Skin protection: use nitrile, latex, or similar gloves and coveralls. Good
personal hygiene practices essential, such as avoiding food, tobacco products,
or other hand-to-mouth contact when handling. Wash thoroughly after handling.
