Swallowed: If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons
Information Centre. Seek urgent medical assistance. If

drink. Rinse mouth with water. Never give anything by mouth
to an unconscious person. If vomiting occurs give further
water to achieve effective dilution.
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 shoes and flush
area with water and soap if available. Seek medical attention
in the event of irritation.
Inhaled: Risk of side-effects from inhalation is considered to be
low, but if effects occur, remove patient to fresh air. Apply
resuscitation if victim is not breathing. DO NOT use direct
mouth-to-mouth method if victim has swallowed or inhaled the
substance; use alternative respiratory method or proper
device. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult.
Advice to Doctor: Treat symptomatically as for strongly alkaline
material.

6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Eliminate all ignition sources within 50m. Clean up all spills
immediately. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Do
not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing
appropriate protective clothing.
Stop leak if safe to do so – prevent entry into waterways, drains
or pits. Cover with DRY earth, sand or non-combustible material
followed by plastic sheet to minimise spreading or contact with
rain. DO NOT get water inside containers.
