| 4. FIRST AID MEASURES |
|
| Inhalation |
Rescuers should wear respiratory protection. Remove the victim from the source of exposure. If the victim is not breathing, apply artificial resuscitation. For all but the most minor symptoms, seek medical attention. |
| Ingestion |
Do NOT induce vomiting. Give water to drink. Seek immediate medical attention. |
| Skin |
Remove contaminated clothing and launder before re-use. Wash affected skin thoroughly with soap and water. If swelling, blistering, redness or irritation occurs, seek medical attention. |
| Eye |
Hold the eyes open and flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek immediate medical attention. |
First Aid
Facilities |
A safety shower and an eye irrigation facility should be provided. This Material Safety Data Sheet should be provided to the attending medical doctor. |
| Advice to Doctor |
Treat symptomatically. |
|
| 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES |
|
Suitable
Extinguishing
Media |
Use the extinguisher appropriate to the principal fire hazard or to the source of the fire. |
Special
Protective
Equipment for
fire fighters |
If this product is involved in a fire, firefighters should wear PVC gloves, enclosed footwear and self contained breathing apparatus. |
| Specific Hazards |
This product is not flammable under the conditions of use and does not support combustion. However, this product will liberate Hydrogen gas on contact with metals, thus creating a fire and explosion hazard. Potential sources of ignition should be excluded from the immediate area. |

| 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES |
|
| Spills & Disposal |
Spillages are slippery. Personnel involved in cleaning up any spills are to wear rubber or PVC gloves and chemical goggles. Cordon off the spillage area. Isolate the source of the spillage or leak. For large amounts, contain the spillage using a suitable non-flammable absorbent material such as sand or diatomaceous earth, and then transfer to sealed plastic containers for disposal. Dispose of large amounts in a suitable chemical dump (check the local statutory requirements). Neutralise any remaining acid using a solution of mild alkali such as soda ash, then rinse the area clean with water. For minor spills, rinsing the area clean with water would be adequate. |
|
| 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE |
|
Handling and
Storage |
Store in plastic containers in a bunded area away from heat, alkalies, flammable goods, oxidising agents, foodstuffs and empty foodstuff receptacles. |

Engineering
Controls |
Phosphoric acid has a low vapour pressure at ambient temperature. However, if mists are produced during use, or if the product becomes vapourised by contact with a very hot surface, then the exposure standard for Phosphoric acid may be surpassed. Ensure that the ventilation is adequate to maintain air concentrations below the exposure standards. If necessary, provide corrosion resistant local exhaust ventilation, exhausting to the outside of the building. Do not enter confined spaces where the vapour may have accumulated. |
Personal
Protective
Equipment |
Wear PVC gloves and chemical goggles and/or a face shield. An acid resistant respirator to AS 1716 is recommended if spray mists are produced during use. It is recommended that a shirt with long sleeves and long trousers be worn. Always wash skin and clothing after using this product. |
