	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Liquid formulations containing organic solvents may be flammable. Risk of fire and explosion if formulations contain flammable/explosive solvents.	NO open flames.	Use water spray, foam, powder, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Cough. Sore throat.	Use ventilation (not if powder), local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell.
Skin	Redness. Burning sensation. Numbness. Tingling sensation. Itching.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell.
Eyes	Redness. Pain. Watering of the eyes.	Wear face shield.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Ingestion	Numbness of tongue and lips. Abdominal pain. Vomiting. Excessive salivation. Muscle twitching. Unconsciousness. Convulsions.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.	Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer immediately for medical attention.
