SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES

Description of first aid measures

Eye Contact

Skin Contact

Inhalation

Ingestion

If this product comes in contact with the eyes:

Wash out immediately with fresh 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. Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention. Removal of

contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel. If skin contact occurs:

Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear. Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available). Seek medical attention in event of irritation.

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.

If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre.

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. Seek medical advice.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Treat symptomatically.

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. The basic types of engineering controls are: 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.

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.

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 0.5-1 m/s (100-200 acid fumes, pickling (released at low velocity into zone of active generation) f/min.)

direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, drum filling, conveyer loading, crusher dusts, gas discharge (active generati on into 1-2.5 m/s (200-500 Appropriate engineering

f/min)

controls zone of rapid air motion)

grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, high speed wheel generated dusts (released at high initial velocity into zone of very high rapid 2.5-10 m/s (500-2000

air motion). f/min.)

Within each range the appropriate value depends on: Lower end of the range 1: Room air currents minimal or favourable to capture 2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of nuisance value only

3: Intermittent, low production. 4: Large hood or large air mass in motion

Upper end of the range 1: Disturbing room air currents 2: Contaminants of high toxicity

3: High production, heavy use 4: Small hood - local control only

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.

Thermal hazards

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

lenses 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.

"feel" or convenience (e.g. disposability), may dictate a choice of gloves which might otherwise

be unsuitable following long-term or frequent use. A qualified practitioner should be consulted.

Respiratory protection

Type E-P Filter of sufficient capacity. (AS/NZS 1716 & 1715, EN 143:2000 &

Where the concentration of gas/particulates in the breathing zone, approaches or

exceeds the "Exposure Standard" (or ES), respiratory protection is required. Degree of protection varies with both face-piece and Class of filter; the nature of

protection varies with Type of filter.

specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effect of chemical Substances

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.
