Description of necessary measures according to routes of exposure

Swallowed IF SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth, then drink plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical
personnel. Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Eye IF IN EYES: Immediately flush eyes with running water for several minutes, holding eyelids open and occasionally lifting
the upper and lower lids. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing for at least 15 minutes. If eye
irritation persists, get medical advice/attention.
Skin IF ON SKIN: Rinse with warm water. Take off contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse. If skin irritation occurs, get
medical advice/attention.
Inhaled IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If respiratory symptoms
persist, get medical advice/attention.
Advice to Doctor Treat symptomatically.

containers and dispose of properly (see SECTION 13).
*Pick up mechanically. Take up dry.
Containment Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.
Decontamination No information available.
Environmental Precautionary This product is used as fertiliser. However, large spills can kill vegetation. Prevent large quantities from entering
Measures waterways.
Evacuation Criteria Spill or leak area should be isolated immediately. Keep unauthorised personnel away.
Personal Precautionary Measures Use personal protective equipment as required (see SECTION 8).
*Use respiratory protective device against the effects of fumes/dust/aerosol.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling Safety showers and eyewash facilities should be provided within the immediate work area for emergency use. Ensure
adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Avoid formation of dust.
Avoid breathing dust and contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not ingest. Use personal protective equipment as
required (see SECTION 8).
Storage Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, out of direct sunlight. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Protect
from humidity and water (hygroscopic). Keep away from incompatible materials (see SECTION 10).
Container Keep in the original container.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

General No specific exposure standards are available for this product. For dusts from solid substances without specific
occupational exposure standards:
- Safe Work Australia Exposure Standard (Nuisance dusts): 8 hr TWA = 10 mg/m3 (measured as inhalable dust).
- New Zealand WES (Particulates not otherwise classified): TWA = 10 mg/m3; TWA = 3 mg/m3 (respirable dust).
Exposure Limits No Data Available
Biological Limits No information available.
Engineering Measures A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust
ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing
dispersion of it into the general work area.
Personal Protection Equipment - Respiratory protection: In case of inadequate ventilation, wear respiratory protection. Recommended: Dust
mask/particulate (P2 filter) respirator (refer to AS/NZS 1715 & 1716).
