SECTION 4 First aid measures
4.1. Description of first aid measures

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
Eye Contact 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.
If skin or hair contact occurs:

Immediately flush body and clothes with large amounts of water, using safety shower if available.
Skin Contact 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.
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.
Inhalation Inhalation of vapours or aerosols (mists, fumes) may cause lung oedema.
Corrosive substances may cause lung damage (e.g. lung oedema, fluid in the lungs).
As this reaction may be delayed up to 24 hours after exposure, affected individuals need complete rest (preferably in
semi-recumbent posture) and must be kept under medical observation even if no symptoms are (yet) manifested.
Before any such manifestation, the administration of a spray containing a dexamethasone derivative or beclomethasone
derivative may be considered.
This must definitely be left to a doctor or person authorised by him/her.
(ICSC13719)
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
Ingestion 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.
4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
See Section 11
4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Treat symptomatically.
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.
Patients should be instructed to seek medical attention whenever they develop difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia).
SKIN AND EYE:
Injury should be irrigated for 20-30 minutes.

Notes: Occupational exposure banding is a process of assigning chemicals into specific categories or bands based on a chemical's
potency and the adverse health outcomes associated with exposure. The output of this process is an occupational exposure
band (OEB), which corresponds to a range of exposure concentrations that are expected to protect worker health.
MATERIAL DATA
for potassium hydroxide:
The TLV-TWA is protective against respiratory tract irritation produced at higher concentrations
8.2. Exposure controls

Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed
engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to
provide this high level of protection.
8.2.1. Appropriate The basic types of engineering controls are:
engineering controls Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk.
Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker and ventilation
that strategically "adds" and "removes" air in the work environment. Ventilation can remove or dilute an air contaminant if

designed properly. The design of a ventilation system must match the particular process and chemical or contaminant in use.
Employers may need to use multiple types of controls to prevent employee overexposure.
8.2.2. Individual protection

measures, such as
personal protective
equipment
Safety glasses with unperforated side shields may be used where continuous eye protection is desirable, as in laboratories;
spectacles are not sufficient where complete eye protection is needed such as when handling bulk-quantities, where there is
a danger of splashing, or if the material may be under pressure.
Chemical goggles. Whenever there is a danger of the material coming in contact with the eyes; goggles must be properly
fitted. [AS/NZS 1337.1, EN166 or national equivalent]
Eye and face protection
Full face shield (20 cm, 8 in minimum) may be required for supplementary but never for primary protection of eyes; these
afford face protection.
Alternatively a gas mask may replace splash goggles and face shields.
Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy
document, describing the wearing of lenses or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task.
Skin protection See Hand protection below
Elbow length PVC gloves

Hands/feet protection
When handling corrosive liquids, wear trousers or overalls outside of boots, to avoid spills entering boots.
Body protection See Other protection below

Overalls.
PVC Apron.
Other protection PVC protective suit may be required if exposure severe.
Eyewash unit.
Ensure there is ready access to a safety shower.

11.1. Information on hazard classes as defined in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008

Evidence shows, or practical experience predicts, that the material produces irritation of the respiratory system, in a substantial
number of individuals, following inhalation. In contrast to most organs, the lung is able to respond to a chemical insult by first
removing or neutralising the irritant and then repairing the damage. The repair process, which initially evolved to protect
mammalian lungs from foreign matter and antigens, may however, produce further lung damage resulting in the impairment of
gas exchange, the primary function of the lungs. Respiratory tract irritation often results in an inflammatory response involving the
Inhaled recruitment and activation of many cell types, mainly derived from the vascular system.
Inhalation of alkaline corrosives may produce irritation of the respiratory tract with coughing, choking, pain and mucous
membrane damage. Pulmonary oedema may develop in more severe cases; this may be immediate or in most cases following a
latent period of 5-72 hours. Symptoms may include a tightness in the chest, dyspnoea, frothy sputum, cyanosis and dizziness.
Findings may include hypotension, a weak and rapid pulse and moist rales.
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product

Accidental ingestion of the material may be harmful; animal experiments indicate that ingestion of less than 150 gram may be
fatal or may produce serious damage to the health of the individual.
Ingestion of alkaline corrosives may produce immediate pain, and circumoral burns. Mucous membrane corrosive damage is
characterised by a white appearance and soapy feel; this may then become brown, oedematous and ulcerated. Profuse
Ingestion salivation with an inability to swallow or speak may also result. Even where there is limited or no evidence of chemical burns,
both the oesophagus and stomach may experience a burning pain; vomiting and diarrhoea may follow. The vomitus may be thick
and may be slimy (mucous) and may eventually contain blood and shreds of mucosa. Epiglottal oedema may result in respiratory
distress and asphyxia. Marked hypotension is symptomatic of shock; a weak and rapid pulse, shallow respiration and clammy
skin may also be evident.
The material can produce severe chemical burns following direct contact with the skin.
Skin contact is not thought to produce harmful health effects (as classified under EC Directives using animal models). Systemic
harm, however, has been identified following exposure of animals by at least one other route and the material may still produce
health damage following entry through wounds, lesions or abrasions. Good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a
Skin Contact minimum and that suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting.
Skin contact with alkaline corrosives may produce severe pain and burns; brownish stains may develop. The corroded area may
be soft, gelatinous and necrotic; tissue destruction may be deep.
Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material
Entry into the blood-stream through, for example, cuts, abrasions, puncture wounds 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.
When applied to the eye(s) of animals, the material produces severe ocular lesions which are present twenty-four hours or more
after instillation.
Direct contact with alkaline corrosives may produce pain and burns. Oedema, destruction of the epithelium, corneal opacification
Eye
and iritis may occur. In less severe cases these symptoms tend to resolve. In severe injuries the full extent of the damage may
not be immediately apparent with late complications comprising a persistent oedema, vascularisation and corneal scarring,
permanent opacity, staphyloma, cataract, symblepharon and loss of sight.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to corrosives may result in the erosion of teeth, inflammatory and ulcerative changes in the
mouth and necrosis (rarely) of the jaw. Bronchial irritation, with cough, and frequent attacks of bronchial pneumonia may ensue.
Gastrointestinal disturbances may also occur. Chronic exposures may result in dermatitis and/or conjunctivitis.
Chronic Repeated or long-term occupational exposure is likely to produce cumulative health effects involving organs or biochemical
systems.
Long-term exposure to respiratory irritants may result in disease of the airways involving difficult breathing and related systemic
problems.

Unless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effect of chemical Substances
The material may produce moderate eye irritation leading to inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may
POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE
produce conjunctivitis.
Human beings have regular contact with alcohol ethoxylates through a variety of industrial and consumer products such as
soaps, detergents, and other cleaning products . Exposure to these chemicals can occur through ingestion, inhalation, or contact
with the skin or eyes. Studies of acute toxicity show that volumes well above a reasonable intake level would have to occur to
produce any toxic response. Moreover, no fatal case of poisoning with alcohol ethoxylates has ever been reported. Multiple
studies investigating the acute toxicity of alcohol ethoxylates have shown that the use of these compounds is of low concern in
terms of oral and dermal toxicity .
Clinical animal studies indicate these chemicals may produce gastrointestinal irritation such as ulcerations of the stomach,
pilo-erection, diarrhea, and lethargy. Similarly, slight to severe irritation of the skin or eye was generated when undiluted alcohol
ethoxylates were applied to the skin and eyes of rabbits and rats.
Alcohol ethoxylates are according to CESIO (2000) classified as Irritant or Harmful depending on the number of EO-units:
EO < 5 gives Irritant (Xi) with R38 (Irritating to skin) and R41 (Risk of serious damage to eyes)
EO > 5-15 gives Harmful (Xn) with R22 (Harmful if swallowed) - R38/41
EO > 15-20 gives Harmful (Xn) with R22-41
primary c9-c11 >20 EO is not classified (CESIO 2000)
alcoholethoxylate Oxo-AE, C13 EO10 and C13 EO15, are Irritating (Xi) with R36/38 (Irritating to eyes and skin) .
AE are not included in Annex 1 of the list of dangerous substances of the Council Directive 67/548/EEC
In general, alcohol ethoxylates (AE) are readily absorbed through the skin of guinea pigs and rats and through the
gastrointestinal mucosa of rats. AE are quickly eliminated from the body through the urine, faeces, and expired air (CO2).Orally
dosed AE was absorbed rapidly and extensively in rats, and more than 75% of the dose was absorbed. When applied to the skin
of humans, the doses were absorbed slowly and incompletely (50% absorbed in 72 hours). Half of the absorbed surfactant was
excreted promptly in the urine and smaller amounts of AE appeared in the faeces and expired air (CO2) ). The metabolism of
C12 AE yields PEG, carboxylic acids, and CO2 as metabolites. The LD50 values after oral administration to rats range from
about 1-15 g/kg body weight indicating a low to moderate acute toxicity.
The ability of nonionic surfactants to cause a swelling of the stratum corneum of guinea pig skin has been studied. The swelling
mechanism of the skin involves a combination of ionic binding of the hydrophilic group as well as hydrophobic interactions of the
alkyl chain with the substrate. Dermal (rabbit): 4000 mg/kg * Somnolence, ataxia, diarrhoea recorded.
For diethylene glycol monoalkyl ethers and their acetates:
This category includes diethylene glycol ethyl ether (DGEE), diethylene glycol propyl ether (DGPE) diethylene glycol butyl ether
(DGBE) and diethylene glycol hexyl ether (DGHE) and their acetates.
Acute toxicity: There are adequate oral, inhalation and/or dermal toxicity studies on the category members. Oral LD50 values in
rats for all category members are all > 3000 mg/kg bw, with values generally decreasing with increasing molecular weight. Four
to eight hour acute inhalation toxicity studies were conducted for all category members except DGPE in rats at the highest
vapour concentrations achievable. No lethality was observed for any of these materials under these conditions. Dermal LD50
values in rabbits range from 2000 mg/kg bw (DGHE) to 15000 mg/kg bw (DGEEA). Signs of acute toxicity in rodents are
consistent with non-specific CNS depression typical of organic solvents in general. All category members are slightly irritating to
skin and slightly to moderately irritating to eyes (with the exception of DGHE, which is highly irritating to eyes).
WATER No significant acute toxicological data identified in literature search.
Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ends. This may be due to a
non-allergic condition known as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur after exposure to high levels of
highly irritating compound. Main criteria for diagnosing RADS include the absence of previous airways disease in a non-atopic
individual, with sudden onset of persistent asthma-like symptoms within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the
AQUATUFF & POTASSIUM
irritant. Other criteria for diagnosis of RADS include a reversible airflow pattern on lung function tests, moderate to severe
HYDROXIDE & disodium
bronchial hyperreactivity on methacholine challenge testing, and the lack of minimal lymphocytic inflammation, without
metasilicate
eosinophilia. 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. On the other hand, industrial bronchitis is a disorder that occurs as a result of
exposure due to high concentrations of irritating substance (often particles) and is completely reversible after exposure ceases.
The disorder is characterized by difficulty breathing, cough and mucus production.
POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE The material may produce severe skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure, and may produce a contact dermatitis
& primary c9-c11 (nonallergic). This form of dermatitis is often characterised by skin redness (erythema) thickening of the epidermis.
alcoholethoxylate & Histologically there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer (spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the epidermis.
disodium metasilicate Prolonged contact is unlikely, given the severity of response, but repeated exposures may produce severe ulceration.
primary c9-c11
alcoholethoxylate & The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to
