4. FIRST AID MEASURES

OBTAI' IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTE'TIO'

Inhalation : Remove patient from exposure, Keep warm and rest. Administer oxygen if
necessary. Apply artificial respiration if breathing has ceased or show signs of
failing. During resuscitation, care must be taken to avoid contamination by
substance from the patient. Obtain medical attention.

Skin Contact : If contact with liquid chlorine, remove contaminated clothing. After contact with
skin, wash immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Care must
be taken to prevent the spread of material from contaminated clothing. Do not
attempt chemical neutralization or apply any salves or ointments to damaged
skin .Obtain medical attention.

Eye Contact : SPEED IS ESSENTIAL. Immediately irrigate with eyewash solution or clean
water, holding the eyelids apart, for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical
attention.

Ingestion : Do not induce vomiting. Obtain medical attention. Immediate rinse mouth

Most important : Contact with this material will cause burns to the skin, eyes and mucuos
symptoms/effects, membranes. Unconsciousness. Cough, shortness of breath, headache, nausea,
acute and vmiting. May cause lung damage.
delayed

Further Medical Treatment

Continue oxygen if necessary. Following exposure the patient should be kept under medical review for at
least 48 hours as delayed pulmonary oedema may develop. Positive end expiratory pressure pulmonary
ventilation plus steroid therapy should be considered in severe cases. Symptomatic treatment and
supportive therapy as indicated.

Revision 5 3/9 09/02/2015

5. FIRE FIGHTI'G MEASURES

Suitable Ext Media : Use suitable extinguishing media for the surrounding fire.
Keep fire exposed containers cool by spraying with water.
Use water with caution, chlorine in water can be very
corrosive. DO NOT spray on to leaking containers.

Unsuitable extinguishing : Direct water spray. Direct water spray jet.

media

Specific hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Non-combustible. Oxidizing agent ; may assist combustion. Pressurized container may explode
when exposed to heat or flame.

Special Protective equipment and precautions for fire fighters

In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Pressurized gas cylinder must be removed
from the vicinity. Cool containers/tanks with water spray.

Fire-fighting equipment/instructions
A self contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing should be worn in fire
conditions

______________________________________________________________________________________

6. ACCIDE'TAL RELEASE MEASURE

Personal precautions/Protective equipment

Keep people away from and upwind of leak. Keep out of low areas. Closed spaces must be
ventilate before entering. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean up.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Ensure full personal protection (including respiratory protection) during removal of spillages.
Provided it is safe to do so, isolate the source of the leak. If possible turn leaking containers so that
gas escapes rather than liquid. Neutralized the leak material with limestone and soda ash.

Environmental
Contain spillages with sand or earth, cover with polythene sheeting. Do not allow to enter drains,
sewer or watercourses. Spillages or uncontrolled discharge into watercourses must be alerted to
the appropriate regulatory body.

Revision 5 4/9 09/02/2015

7. HA'DLI'G A'D STORAGE

7.1 Precautions for safe handling:

Do not breath gas. Avoid contact with skin or eyes. Wherever possible should be handled in high
containment systems. Provide adequate ventilation, including appropriate local extraction, to
ensure that the defined occupational exposure limit is not exceeded. Do not use greases & oils.
Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment. Avoid release to environment.

7.2 STORAGE

Keep container in a well ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed and dry. Keep away from
heat and direct sunlight. Cylinders should be securely kept upright at all times. Drums should be
stored horizontally. Check regularly for leaks.

Engineering Controls
Ensure adequate ventilation. Should be handled in closed system if possible. Provide eye wash and
shower facilities.

Biological limit
No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).

Exposure guidlines
Atmospheric levels should be controlled in compliance with the occupational exposure limit.

PPE
Eye and Face
Wear suitable eye/face protection

Skin/Protective Clothing
Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves. Neoprene and butyl rubber are better than PVC

Respiratory
For high (unknown) concentrations suitable respiratory equipment with positive air supply must
be worn. Canister type respirators may be suitable for low concentrations up to 50ppm and short
exposure times. Wear cartridge/canister respirator is used check with protective equipment
manufacture’s data.

10. STABILITY A'D REACTIVITY

Stability : Stable

Conditions to avoid : The presence of moisture in gaseous and

liquid chlorine increases corrosive attack on
most common metals.

Hazardous Reactions : Oxidising agent ; may assist combustion.

Can react violently if in contact with many
organic materials such as mineral oils and
greases (including silicones) and finely
divided metals. Dry chlorine reacts violently
with titanium. Form explosive compounds
with alcohols, glycols, ammonia and its
compound. Form explosive mixtures with
hydrogen over wide range of
concentrations. Can cause an iron/chlorine
fire with steel at a temperatures over 100
deg C.

Hazardous Decomposition Product (s) : Hydrogen chloride in the presence of water.

Revision 5 6/9 09/02/2015

11. TOXICOLOGICAL I'FORMATIO'

Inhalation : Toxic by inhalation. Irritating to respiratory system.

Atmospheric concentrations in excess of the occupational
exposure limit may lead to immediate severe irritation of the
upper respiratory airways, intense coughing, choking and
bronchospasm (15-20ppm); shortness of breath, chest pain,
possible nausea and vomiting (30ppm). There is some
evidence that such exposures may cause bronchial hyper
reactivity in susceptible individuals. Unconsciousness and
death may occur following exposure to concentrations above
50ppm, (dependent upon duration of exposure). Chemical
tracheo - bronchitis, pulmonary oedema may appear up to 48
hours after exposure (above 40ppm)

Skin Contact : Irritating to skin. Gas can cause irritation and may cause
blistering in high concentrations particularly if moist. Liquid
causes freeze burns.

Eye Contact : Irritating to eyes. Gas causes irritation (severity depending on

concentration and duration of exposure above 5ppm).The
liquid causes severe burns.

Ingestion : Will cause corrosion of and damage to the gastrointestinal

tract.

Long Term Exposure : Repeated exposure by inhalation to

concentrations of chlorine in excess of the occupational
exposure standard may result in adverse effect on the
respiratory tract.
