Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES


SWALLOWE ?? 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.

EYE
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.
?? If pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
?? Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled
personnel.

SKIN
If skin or hair contact occurs:
?? Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
?? Seek medical attention in event of irritation.

INHALE ?? 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.

NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
Treat symptomatically.

MATERIAL DATA
vegetable oil mists (except castor, cashew nut and similar irritant oils)
TLV TWA: 10 mg/m3
ES TWA: 10 mg/m3
OSHA PEL TWA: 15 mg/m3, total particulate; 5 mg/m3, respirable particulate
The common vegetable oil mists are considered "nuisance" particulates which have little
adverse effect on the lung. They do not produce toxic effects or significant organic
disease when exposures are kept under reasonable control. Direct instillation of
vegetable oils into rabbit lungs produces acute bronchitis whilst high oral doses are
laxatives.

PERSONAL PROTECTION




EYE
?? 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 lens 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. [CDC
NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].

HANDS/FEET
Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
Wear safety footwear.

RESPIRATO Selection of the Class and Type of respirator will depend upon the level of breathing
zone contaminant and the chemical nature of the contaminant. Protection Factors (defined
as the ratio of contaminant outside and inside the mask) may also be important.

The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use determine the type of
personal protective equipment required.
For further information consult site specific
CHEMWATCH data (if available), or your
Occupational Health and Safety Advisor.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use in a well-ventilated area.
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 0.25- 0.5 m/s (50- 100 f/min)
from tank (in still air)
aerosols, fumes from pouring operations, 0.5- 1 m/s (100- 200 f/min.)
intermittent container filling, low speed
conveyer transfers, welding, spray drift,
plating acid fumes, pickling (released at low
velocity into zone of active generation)
direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, 1- 2.5 m/s (200- 500 f/min)
drum filling, conveyer loading, crusher dusts,
gas discharge (active generation into zone of
rapid air motion)
grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, high 2.5- 10 m/s (500- 2000 f/min.)
speed wheel generated dusts (released at high
initial velocity into zone of very high rapid
air motion).


Within each range the appropriate value depends on:


Lower end of the range Upper end of the range
1: Room air currents minimal or favourable to 1: Disturbing room air currents
capture
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of nuisance 2: Contaminants of high toxicity
value only
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in motion 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.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS

SWALLOWE The material may be. slightly discomforting if swallowed.

EYE
The liquid is. slightly discomforting to the eyes.
The material may be irritating to the eye, with prolonged contact causing inflammation.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.

SKIN
The liquid is. non-irritating to the skin.
Not considered an irritant through normal use.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may
produce on contact skin redness, swelling, the production of vesicles, scaling and
thickening of the skin.

INHALE Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Primary route of exposure is usually by skin contact with the material.
No human exposure data available. For this reason health effects described are based on

experience with chemically related materials.
As with any chemical product, contact with unprotected bare skin; inhalation of vapour,
mist or dust in work place atmosphere; or ingestion in any form, should be avoided by
observing good occupational work practice.
Glyceryl triesters (triglycerides) undergo metabolism to become free fatty acids and
glycerol. Animal studies show that there is no toxicity when given by mouth unless the
material takes up a large proportion of energy intake.
Common side effects of treatment with HIV-I protease inhibitors (PI) include diarrhoea,
nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal discomfort, headache, weakness, fatigue and taste
disturbances. Renal stones are seen occasionally. Patients receiving highly active
antiretroviral therapy (HAART), generally a combination of reverse transcriptase
inhibitors and protease inhibitors frequently develop wasting of body fat but much
increased fatty acids and cholesterol in the bloods, thus predisposing to cardiovascular
disease. Disturbances in metabolism are also often seen. White and older persons seem to
be more affected than other groups. PI can also lead to diabetes, impaired glucose
tolerance (very commonly seen and a precursor to diabetes) or excessive production of
insulin.

TOXICITY AND IRRITATION
None assigned. Refer to individual constituents.
