First Aid Measures Eyes If product gets in eyes, hold eyes open, flush with running water for at least 15 minutes. If poisoning occurs give atropine tablets as above. Page 1 of 7

2 Skin Ingestion Inhalation Note to physician Antidote If skin contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water. If poisoning occurs, give atropine tablets as above. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Give a glass of water. If swallowed give one atropine tablet every five minutes until dryness of the mouth occurs. Move affected person to fresh air and keep at rest until recovered. If poisoning occurs give atropine tablets as above. Treat as a cholinesterase inhibitor. Atropine sulphate is antidote. 5. Fire Fighting Measures This product is flammable, non-explosive and is combustible. Extinguish warehouse and factory fires using fine-water spray, fog or foam. During a fire, this product may release smoke and hazardous decomposition products. When fighting a major fire, wear a SCBA and structural firefighters uniform. Do not allow fire-water to enter drains. 6. Accidental Release Measures In case of spill or leak In case of spillage it is important to take all steps necessary to : Avoid eye and skin contact Avoid contamination of waterways Shut off all possible sources of ignition. Do not smoke. Procedure for spill 1. Keep all bystanders away 2. Wear full length clothing and PVC gloves 3. Re-position any leaking containers so as to minimize further leakage 4. Dam and absorb spill with an absorbent material (e.g. sand or soil) 5. Shovel the absorbed material into drums and top with hydrated lime 6. Disposal of the absorbed material will be as per the local environmental regulations. Page 2 of 7
