First-aid measures
Section 4: First aid measures
4.1. Description of first aid measures
Skin contact: Remove all contaminated clothes and footwear immediately unless stuck to skin. Wash
immediately with plenty of soap and water. Drench the affected skin with running water
for 10 minutes or longer if substance is still on skin. Consult a doctor.
Eye contact: Bathe the eye with running water for 15 minutes. Consult a doctor.
Ingestion: Wash out mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. If conscious, give half a litre of water
to drink immediately. If unconscious, check for breathing and apply artificial respiration if
necessary. Transfer to hospital as soon as possible.
Inhalation: Remove casualty from exposure ensuring one's own safety whilst doing so. If
conscious, ensure the casualty sits or lies down. If unconscious and breathing is OK,
place in the recovery position. If unconscious, check for breathing and apply artificial
respiration if necessary. Transfer to hospital as soon as possible.
4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Skin contact: There may be irritation and redness at the site of contact.
Eye contact: There may be irritation and redness. The eyes may water profusely.
Ingestion: There may be soreness and redness of the mouth and throat. There may be vomiting.
Convulsions may occur. There may be loss of consciousness.
Inhalation: There may be shortness of breath with a burning sensation in the throat. Absorption
through the lungs can occur causing symptoms similar to those of ingestion.
Convulsions may occur. There may be loss of consciousness.
Delayed / immediate effects: Immediate effects can be expected after short-term exposure.
Fire-fighting measures
Section 5: Fire-fighting measures
5.1. Extinguishing media
Extinguishing media: Suitable extinguishing media for the surrounding fire should be used. Water. Water
spray. Carbon dioxide. Alcohol or polymer foam.
5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Exposure hazards: Very toxic. In combustion emits toxic fumes of carbon dioxide / carbon monoxide. In
combustion, emits toxic fumes of phosphorus oxides. In combustion emits toxic fumes
of hydrogen bromide.
5.3. Advice for fire-fighters
Advice for fire-fighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear protective clothing to prevent contact
with skin and eyes.
Accidental release measures
Section 6: Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal precautions: Refer to section 8 of SDS for personal protection details. Evacuate the area immediately.
If outside do not approach from downwind. Mark out the contaminated area with signs
and prevent access to unauthorised personnel. Do not attempt to take action without
suitable protective clothing - see section 8 of SDS. Do not create dust.
6.2. Environmental precautions
Environmental precautions: Do not discharge into drains or rivers.
6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Clean-up procedures: Clean-up should be dealt with only by qualified personnel familiar with the specific
substance. Transfer to a closable, labelled salvage container for disposal by an
appropriate method.
Handling and storage
Section 7: Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Handling requirements: Avoid direct contact with the substance. Ensure there is exhaust ventilation of the area.
Avoid the formation or spread of dust in the air.
7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Storage conditions: Store in cool, well ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid contact with water
or humidity.
Suitable packaging: Glass. Polyethylene.
