Swallowed: If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons
Information Centre. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting.
Give a glass of water. Rinse mouth with water. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Eye: Immediately hold the eyes open and wash continuously for
at least 15 minutes with fresh running water. Ensure irrigation
under eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
Transport to hospital or doctor without delay. Removal of
contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken
by skilled personnel.
Skin: Remove any contaminated clothing and flush area with
water and soap if available. Seek medical attention in the
event of irritation.
Inhaled: Remove victim from exposure – but avoid becoming a
casualty. If breathing is laboured and patient is cyanotic
(blue), ensure airways are clear and have qualified person
give oxygen through a face mask. If breathing has stopped,
apply artificial respiration at once. In the event of cardiac
arrest, apply external cardiac massage. For all but the most
minor symptoms arrange for patient to be seen by a doctor as
soon as possible – either on site or at the nearest hospital.
First Aid Facilities: Maintain eyewash fountain and drench
facilities in work area.
Advice to Doctor: Treat symptomatically as for strong alkaline
material.
5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire/Explosion Hazard: Chloradet does not burn. Fire or strong
heat will produce irritating, poisonous or corrosive gases.
Containers may explode when heated. Some may ignite
combustibles (wood, paper, clothing, etc.) Contact with metals
may produce flammable hydrogen gas.
Fire Extinguishing media:
Small fire: Use dry chemical, CO2 or water spray.
Large fire: Use water spray, fog or foam. Do NOT use water
jets. If safe to do so, move undamaged containers from the
fire area. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until
well after the fire is out. Avoid getting water inside the
containers.
Fire Fighter’s PPE: Wear SCBA and chemical splash suit. Fully
encapsulating, gas-tight suits should be worn for maximum
protection. Structural firefighter’s uniform is NOT effective for
this material.
Hazardous Reactions: Reacts vigorously with acids producing
dangerous levels of gaseous chlorine. May yield toxic fumes if
involved in a fire.
6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Clean up all spills immediately. Eliminate all ignition sources (no
smoking or flames) within at least 50m. Avoid contact with skin
and eyes. Do not touch or walk through this product. Stop leak if
safe to do so. Prevent entry into waterways, drains or confined
areas. Cover with DRY earth, sand or other non-combustible
absorbent followed by plastic sheet to minimize spreading or
contact with rain. Do not let water run into containers.
