7. First Aid
Swallowed Never give anything mouth if victim is rapidly losing consciousness, or is
unconscious or convulsing. Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. DO NOT
induce vomiting. If victim can swallow, have him/her drink 8 to 10 ozs, (240 to
300 mls) of water to dilute material in stomach. If vomiting occurs naturally,
have victim lean forward to reduce risk aspiration. repeat administration of
water. Obtain medical attention immediately.
Eye Immediately flush the contaminated eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing water
for 30 minutes, by the clock, holding the eyelids(s) open. Take care not rinse
contaminated water into the non-affected eye. If irritation persists, repeat
flushing. If available, a neutral saline solution may be used to flush the
contaminated eye(s) an additional 30 minutes. Obtain medical attention
immediately.
Skin Avoid direct contact with this chemicals. Wear impervious protective gloves if
necessary. As quickly as possible, flush contaminated area with lukewarm,
gently for at least 30 minutes, by clock. Under running water, remove
contaminated clothing, shoes, and leather goods (e.g. watch bands, belts). If
irritation persists, repeat flushing. Obtain medical attention immediately.
Completely decontaminate clothing, shoes and leather goods before re-use or
discard.
Inhaled Remove source of contamination or move victim to fresh air. Obtain medical
advice immediately.
First Aid Facilities Provide general supportive measures (comfort, warmth, rest). Consult a
physician and/or the nearest poison control center for all exposure except minor
instances or inhalation contact.

OTHER HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
9. Precaution For Use
Exposure Limits TLV, 2.0 mg/m3 –ceiling value
As published by the national health & medical research council. Ceiling value–is
the concentration that should not be exceeded even instantaneously. TLV is the
time weighted average concentration of the work atmosphere over a repeatedly
exposed to this level, day after day, without adverse effect. These TLVs are
issued as guidelines for good practice. All atmospheric contamination should be
kept to as low a level as is practically possible this TLVs should not be used as
fine line between safe and dangerous concentrations.
Eng. Controls Maintain concentration below recommended exposure limit.
Engineering control methods to reduce hazardous exposures are preferred.
General methods include mechanical ventilation, (dilution and general exhaust),
process and personnel enclosure, control of process conditions and process
modifications (e.g substitution of a less hazardous material). Administrative
control and personal protective equipment may be also required. Use a
corrosion-resistant ventilation system separate from other exhaust ventilation
system. Exhaust ventilation, and process enclosure if necessary, to control
airborne spray/mists. Supply sufficient air to make up for air removed by
exhaust systems.
Other Information Leather is attacked by caustic.
Always use good occupational work practices.
