4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Eye If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush continuously with running water. Continue flushing until advised to stop by a
Poisons Information Centre, a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
Inhalation If inhaled, remove from contaminated area. To protect rescuer, use a Type A (Organic vapour) respirator or an Air-
line respirator (in poorly ventilated areas). Apply artificial respiration if not breathing.
Skin If on skin, remove any contaminated clothing, wash thoroughly with soap and water, then methylated spirit if
available. Contact the PIC or a doctor.
Ingestion For advice, contact a Poison Information Centre on 13 11 26 (Australia Wide) or a doctor (at once). If swallowed,
do not induce vomiting.
Advice to Doctor PHENOLS - CRESYLIC ACID - CHLOROPHENOLS. See First Aid details in the first instance. Establish airways
and maintain respiration. Examine and treat for corrosive injury, methaemoglobinemia and liver damage.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flammability Non flammable. May evolve toxic gases (carbon oxides, hydrocarbons) when heated to decomposition.

Fire and Treat as per requirements for Surrounding Fires: Evacuate area and contact emergency services. Remain upwind
Explosion and notify those downwind of hazard. Wear full protective equipment including Self Contained Breathing
Apparatus (SCBA) when combating fire. Use waterfog to cool intact containers and nearby storage areas.
Extinguishing Prevent contamination of drains or waterways.

Hazchem Code None Allocated

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Spillage Contact emergency services where appropriate. Use personal protective equipment. Clear area of all unprotected
personnel. Ventilate area where possible. Contain spillage, then cover / absorb spill with non-combustible
absorbant material (vermiculite, sand, or similar), collect and place in suitable containers for disposal. Eliminate all
ignition sources. Prevent spill entering drains or waterways.

7. STORAGE AND HANDLING

Storage Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area, removed from oxidising agents, acids, heat or ignition sources and
foodstuffs. Ensure containers are adequately labelled, protected from physical damage and sealed when not in
use. Large storage areas should have appropriate ventilation systems.
Handling Before use carefully read the product label. Use of safe work practices are recommended to avoid eye or skin
contact and inhalation. Observe good personal hygiene, including washing hands before eating. Prohibit eating,
drinking and smoking in contaminated areas.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Health Hazard Moderate toxicity - irritant. This product has the potential to cause adverse health effects with over exposure. Use
Summary safe work practices to avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation. Chronic exposure may result in vomiting,
diarrhoea, lack of appetite, dark urine, skin rashes - discolouration, liver, kidney and lung damage.
Eye Irritant. Contact may result in irritation, lacrimation, pain, redness and conjunctivitis. May result in burns with
prolonged contact.
Inhalation Irritant. Over exposure to vapours may result in respiratory irritation, nausea, dizziness and headache. Low vapour
pressure may reduce the likelihood of inhalation.
Skin Irritant - toxic. Contact may result in irritation, redness, pain, rash, dermatitis and possible burns. May cause
discolouration of the skin. May be absorbed through skin with harmful effects.
Ingestion Moderate toxicity. Ingestion of large quantities may result in liver and kidney damage, dark urine, bloody
diarrhoea, unconsciousness and convulsions. Aspiration may result in chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary
oedema.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Environment WATER: If released to water phenol is toxic to fish, microorganisms & plants. Biodegrades in water (half-life ~hrs
to days). Not expected to bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms. SOIL: Rapidly biodegrades (half life <5 days)
except in spills of high concentrations which destroy degrading microbial populations). ATMOSPHERE: Reacts
with hydroxyl radicals causing decomposition (half-life ~15 hours).

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

Waste Disposal Solutions of 1% can be steam stripped, distilled or put over activated carbon to recover phenol economically. Low
concentrations can be biodegraded by sewage organisms but high concentrations will kill the microorganisms.
May be incinerated. Contact the manufacturer for further information if large disposing of large volumes.
Legislation Dispose of in accordance with relevant local legislation.

Scheduling of Drugs and Poisons (SUSDP).
AICS All chemicals listed on the Australian Inventory of Chemical Substances (AICS).

16. OTHER INFORMATION

Additional EXPOSURE STANDARDS - TIME WEIGHTED AVERAGES: Exposure standards are established on the premise
Information of an 8 hour work period of normal intensity, under normal climatic conditions and where a 16 hour break between
shifts exists to enable the body to eliminate absorbed contaminants. In the following circumstances, exposure
standards must be reduced: strenuous work conditions; hot, humid climates; high altitude conditions; extended
shifts (which increase the exposure period and shorten the period of recuperation).

RESPIRATORS: In general the use of respirators should be limited and engineering controls employed to avoid
exposure. If respiratory equipment must be worn ensure correct respirator selection and training is undertaken.
Remember that some respirators may be extremely uncomfortable when used for long periods. The use of air
powered or air supplied respirators should be considered where prolonged or repeated use is necessary.

HEALTH EFFECTS FROM EXPOSURE:

It should be noted that the effects from exposure to this product will depend on several factors including: frequency
and duration of use; quantity used; effectiveness of control measures; protective equipment used and method of
application. Given that it is impractical to prepare a Chem Alert report which would encompass all possible
scenarios, it is anticipated that users will assess the risks and apply control methods where appropriate.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT GUIDELINES:

The recommendation for protective equipment contained within this Chem Alert report is provided as a guide only.
Factors such as method of application, working environment, quantity used, product concentration and the
availability of engineering controls should be considered before final selection of personal protective equipment is
made.

COLOUR RATING SYSTEM: RMT has assigned all Chem Alert reports a colour rating of Green, Amber or Red for
the sole purpose of providing users with a quick and easy means of determining the hazardous nature of a
product. Safe handling recommendations are provided in all Chem Alert reports so as to clearly identify how users
can control the hazards and thereby reduce the risk (or likelihood) of adverse effects. As a general guideline, a
Green colour rating indicates a low hazard, an Amber colour rating indicates a moderate hazard and a Red colour
rating indicates a high hazard.

While all due care has been taken by RMT in the preparation of the Colour Rating System, it is intended as a
guide only and RMT does not provide any warranty in relation to the accuracy of the Colour Rating System. As far
as is lawfully possible, RMT accepts no liability or responsibility whatsoever for the actions or omissions of any
person in reliance on the Colour Rating System.
