4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Description of necessary measures according to routes of exposure

Swallowed IF SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth, then drink (sip) a glass of water. Call a Poison Centre or doctor/physician for advice
or phone for an ambulance immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, lean patient
forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep
victim calm and warm - Transport to hospital or doctor without delay. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.
Eye IF IN EYES: Call a Poison Centre or doctor/physician for advice or phone for an ambulance immediately. Immediately
flush eyes with (lukewarm) running water for at least 20 minutes, holding eyelids open and occasionally lifting the
upper and lower lids - DO NOT INTERRUPT FLUSHING (If necessary, keep emergency vehicle waiting). Neutral saline
solution may be used if it is available. Transport to hospital or doctor without delay. Removal of contact lenses after
an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.
Skin IF IN SKIN (or hair): Remove material from skin and contaminated clothing immediately - For minor skin contact, avoid
spreading material on unaffected skin. For gross contamination - Drench contaminated clothing and skin with plenty
of water before removing clothes. Call a Poison Centre or doctor/physician for advice or phone for an ambulance
immediately. Immediately flush skin and hair with (lukewarm) running water for at least 20 minutes - DO NOT
INTERRUPT FLUSHING (If necessary, keep emergency vehicle waiting). Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
Wash contaminated clothing and shoes before reuse; Discard contaminated leather goods.
Inhaled IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Call a Poison Centre
or doctor/physician for advice or phone for an ambulance immediately. Apply resuscitation if victim is not breathing -
Do not use direct mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; use alternative respiratory
method or proper respiratory device; Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Keep victim calm and warm -
Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
Advice to Doctor Ensure that attending medical personnel are aware of identity and nature of the product(s) involved, and take
precautions to protect themselves.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

General Measures If safe to do so, move undamaged containers from fire area. Do not move cargo if cargo has been exposed to heat.
Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out - If impossible, withdraw from area and let
fire burn. Avoid getting water inside containers: a violent reaction may occur. Dam fire control water for later disposal.
ALWAYS stay away from tank ends.
Flammability Conditions OXIDISING SUBSTANCE: Non-combustible; however, will accelerate burning when involved in a fire.
Extinguishing Media Use flooding quantities of water for extinction - Do not use dry chemicals, Carbon dioxide (CO2) or foam. Large fire:
Flood fire area with water from a protected position.
Fire and Explosion Hazard Risk of violent reaction or explosion: May explode from heating, shock, friction or contamination. May ignite
combustibles. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may create fire or explosion hazard.
- Chlorite salts may react dangerously with hydrocarbons (fuels), organic matter, other contaminants or when hot,
molten and confined; and in this condition, should be treated as an explosive.
Hazardous Products of Fire may produce irritating, toxic, and/or corrosive gases, including Carbon oxides, halogenated compounds, metal
Combustion oxides.
Special Fire Fighting Contain runoff from fire control or dilution water - Runoff may pollute waterways; Runoff may create fire or explosion
Instructions hazard.
Personal Protective Equipment Liquid-tight chemical protective clothing (splash suit) in combination with self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)
should be used. Structural firefighter’s uniform will provide limited protection.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

General Response Procedure Ensure adequate ventilation. ELIMINATE all ignition sources. Prevent exposure to heat. Do not contaminate - Keep
combustibles away from spilled material. Clean up all spills immediately. Avoid dust formation. Do not breathe dust
and prevent contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
Clean Up Procedures Use clean, non-sparking tools to transfer material to a clean, dry container for disposal and cover loosely (see
SECTION 13). Do not seal disposal containers tightly. Move container from spill area.
Containment Stop leak if safe to do so - Prevent entry into waterways, drains or confined areas. Prevent dust cloud.
Decontamination All water utilised to assist in fume suppression, decontamination or fire suppression may be contaminated and must
be contained before disposal and/or treatment. Monitor all exit water for available chlorine and pH.
Environmental Precautionary Spillages and decontamination runoff should be prevented from entering drains and watercourses. Advise local
Measures authorities of any contaminated water release.
Evacuation Criteria Spill or leak area should be isolated immediately. Keep unauthorised personnel away. Keep upwind and to higher
ground. Large spill: Immediately contact Police or Fire Brigade; Consider downwind evacuation.
Personal Precautionary Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing (see SECTION 8).
Measures Large spill: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and chemical splash suit. Structural firefighter’s uniform
will provide limited protection.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling Safety showers and eyewash facilities should be provided within the immediate work area for emergency use. Ensure
adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Keep exposure to this
product to a minimum, and minimise the quantities kept in work areas. Avoid dust formation. Do not breathe dust
and prevent contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not ingest. Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye
protection/face protection (see SECTION 8). OXIDISING MATERIAL: Keep away from heat and all sources of ignition -
No smoking. Do not contaminate - Take any precaution to avoid mixing with combustibles. Do not mix with or allow
product to come into contact with any other chemicals, including different types of chlorinating chemicals. Do not
add water to product - Always add product to large quantities of water to fully dissolve (but in case of fire, drench
with water). Use clean, spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Avoid release to the environment - Collect
 spillage (see SECTION 6).
Storage Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, out of direct sunlight. Keep container tightly closed. Protect containers
from physical damage. Check containers regularly for corrosion or leaks. Protect from moisture/humidity - Do not
allow to get damp. If product becomes contaminated or decomposes, do NOT reseal container. Keep away from
heat and all sources of ignition - No smoking. Keep/store away from combustible and other incompatible materials
(see SECTION 10). Store locked up.
- Prolonged storage at elevated temperatures will significantly shorten the shelf life, and may result in rapid
decomposition, evolution of chlorine gas and heat sufficient to ignite combustible products.
Container Keep in the original container. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse
container.
