4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Description of necessary measures according to routes of exposure
Swallowed
Rinse mouth with water. Give water to drink provided victim is conscious. Do NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting
occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position if possible) to maintain open airway and
prevent aspiration.
Seek immediate medical attention. Do NOT delay.
Eye
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. Take care not to rinse
contaminated water into the non-affected eye. Seek immediate medical attention. Contact lenses should not be worn
when working with this chemical.
Skin
Remove contaminated clothing. Flush skin with plenty of water.

For skin burns, flood burnt area with plenty of water and cover with a clean, dry, sterile dressing. Seek immediate
medical attention.
Inhaled
Remove victim from exposure to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Seek immediate medical attention.
Advice to Doctor
Treat symptomatically based on judgement of doctor and individual reactions of patient.
Medical Conditions Aggravated

by Exposure
Sodium hydroxide is a respiratory irritant. Persons with impaired pulmonary function may be at increased risk from
exposure. This product is corrosive, causes burns. Highly corrosive to any tissue with which it comes into contact.
Produces burns, deep ulceration and gelatinous necrotic areas at the site of contact. The chronic local effect may
consist of multiple areas of superficial destruction of the skin or of primary irritant dermatitis. Inhalation of spray, or
mist may result in varying degrees of irritation or damage to the respiratory tract tissues and increased susceptibility
to respiratory illness.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flammability Conditions
Product is a non-flammable liquid.
Extinguishing Media
In case of fire, appropriate extinguishing media include water fog (if unavailable, water spray), foam, carbon dioxide
and dry chemical powder.
Hazardous Products of
Combustion
Non-combustible liquid. The product itself does not burn. However, reactions
with metals will produce flammable hydrogen gas, which will burn if ignited.
Solid form, in contact with moisture or water may generate sufficient heat to
ignite combustible materials. Contact with some metals can generate hydrogen
gas. Following evaporation of aqueous component residual material can decompose
if involved in a fire. Incompatible with oxidizing agents, acids, chlorinated
hydrocarbons, ammonium salts, aluminium, zinc, lead, tin, alloys of these
metals, reducing sugars, water and sources of ignition. Reacts exothermically
with water. Reacts violently with acids. Corrosive to aluminium, zinc, and tin.
Absorbs carbon dioxide from air. Product may emit oxides of carbon and
nitrogen, smoke, ammonia gas, flammable hydrogen gas and other toxic fumes.
Personal Protective Equipment
Fire fighters should wear a positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting
clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers, boots and gloves) or chemical splash suit. Clear fire area of all
non-emergency personnel. Stay upwind. Keep out of low areas.
Eliminate ignition sources. Move fire exposed containers from fire area if it can be done without risk. Do NOT allow
fire fighting water to reach waterways, drains or sewers. Store fire fighting water for treatment.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
General Response Procedure
Personnel involved in the clean up should wear full protective clothing as listed in section 8. Avoid accidents, clean up
immediately. Evacuate all unnecessary personnel. Increase ventilation. Avoid walking through spilled product as it is
slippery when spilt. Stop leak if safe to do so. Isolate the danger area. Do NOT let product reach drains or waterways.
If product does enter a waterway, advise the Environmental Protection Authority or your local Waste Management.
Use clean, non-sparking tools and equipment. Shut off all possible sources of ignition.
Clean Up Procedures
Contain and sweep/shovel up spills with dust binding material or use an industrial vacuum cleaner. Transfer to
suitable, labelled, corrosion-resistant containers and dispose of promptly as hazardous waste. Neutralize the
remaining traces of material with dilute inorganic acid such as hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric or acetic acid. The
spill area should then be flushed with water, followed by a liberal covering of sodium bicarbonate. Spills on areas
other than pavement (dirt or sand) may be handled by removing the affected soils and placing in approved containers.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling
Ensure an eye bath and safety shower are available and ready for use.
Observe good personal hygiene practices and recommended procedures.
Wash thoroughly after handling. Take precautionary measures against static discharges by bonding and grounding
equipment. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not inhale vapour, mist or aerosols. When diluting, use
agitation and add concentrated sodium hydroxide to water at a controlled rate to control heat of dilution and to avoid
plattering. Do NOT add water to sodium hydroxide. If added to acids, a rapid temperature increase can result in
dangerous boiling and/or spattering or may cause an immediate violent eruption.
Sodium hydroxide reacts with reducing sugars such as fructose, lactose, maltose galactose, laevulose and arabinose
to form carbon monixide. Carbon monoxide gas can form upon contact with food and beverage products in
enclosed spaces and can cause death. Follow appropriate tank entry procedures. Do NOT eat, drink or smoke in
work areas.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Inspect regularly for
deficiencies such as damage or leaks.
Protect against physical damage. Store away from incompatible materials including oxidizing agents, acids,
ammonium salts, aluminium, zinc, tin, water and sources of ignition. Protect from direct sunlight, moisture and static
discharges. At temperatures >40'C, tanks must be stressed relieved. This product is a Scheduled Poison S6 and
must be stored, maintained and used in accordance with the relevant regulations. Store away from food and
beverage products, carbon monoxide may be formed. Following prolonged storage in metal tanks, a black sludge will
collect at the bottom of the tank. The sludge will contain iron, sodium carbonate. This product has a UN classification
of 1824 and a Dangerous Goods Class 8 (corrosive) according to The Australian Code for the Transport of
Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail.
Container
Container type/packaging must comply with all applicable local legislation.

Store in original packaging as approved by manufacturer.
Suitable: Plastic or steel bungs should be used.
Unsuitable: Do NOT use aluminium or galvanized containers or use die-cast zinc or aluminium bungs.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

General
The following exposure standard has been established by The Australian Safety and Compensation Council (ASCC);
Sodium Hydroxide cas no 1310-73-2 TWA = 2mg/m3 Peak Limitation NOTE: The exposure value at the TWA is the
average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal 8 hour working day for a 5
day working week. Peak limitation is a ceiling concentration which should not be exceeded over a measurement
period which should be as short as possible but not exceeding 15 minutes.
These exposure standards are guides to be used in the control of occupational health hazards. All atmospheric
contamination should be kept to as low a level as is workable. These exposure standards should not be used as fine
dividing lines between safe and dangerous concentrations of chemicals. They are not a measure of relative toxicity.
Exposure Limits
No Data Available
Biological Limits
As per the "National Model Regulations for the Control of Workplace Hazardous Substances [NOHSC:1005(1994)]
the ingredients in this material do not have a Biological Limit allocated.
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.
Adequate ventilation should be provided so that exposure limits are not exceeded.
Personal Protection Equipment
RESPIRATOR: Wear a suitable mist respirator where vapours are generated and engineering controls are inadequate
(AS1715/1716).
EYES:
Chemical goggles or a full faceshield (AS1336/1337).
HANDS:
Nitrile, neoprene or natural rubber gloves (AS2161).
CLOTHING: Acid-resistant coveralls, splash apron and safety footwear (AS3765/2210).
