Section 4: First Aid Measures

Description of Necessary First Aid Measures: In case of poisoning by any exposure route get to a doctor or hospital quickly. Phone Poisons Information Centre on 131 126. Have the product label or SDS with you when calling or going for treatment.

  • Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show this container or label. DO NOT induce vomiting.
  • Eye contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses. Immediate medical attention is required.
  • Skin contact: Take off all contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off immediately with plenty of water. If skin irritation persists, call a physician. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
  • Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. Keep patient warm and at rest. Call a physician or Poison Information Centre immediately.

Symptoms Caused by Exposure: Poisoning symptoms in laboratory animals were non-specific. Medical Attention and Special Treatment: Treat symptomatically.

Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Equipment: Small fires: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. DO NOT use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire. Large fires: Use alcohol resistant foam or water spray. DO NOT use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical: As this product contains combustible organic components, fire will produce dense black smoke containing hazardous products of combustion. Combustion or thermal decomposition will evolve toxic and irritant vapours. Exposure to decomposition products may be a hazard to health. Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Fire Fighters: When fighting a major fire wear full protective clothing and self contained breathing apparatus. Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses. Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray. Hazchem: •3Z

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures: In case of spillage it is important to take all steps necessary to

  • Avoid eye and skin contact
  • Avoid contamination of waterways Environmental precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities. Methods and Materials for Containment and Clean Up: Contain spillage, and then collect with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local / national regulations (see section 13). Clean contaminated surface thoroughly. Clean with detergents. Avoid solvents. Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water.

Section 7: Handling and Storage

Precautions for Safe Handling: Avoid inhalation of vapours and mists, and skin or eye contact. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Keep containers sealed when not in use. Prevent the build-up of mists or vapours in the work atmosphere. Maintain high standards of personal hygiene i.e., washing hands prior to eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet facilities. Avoid exposure. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Conditions for Safe Storage, Including any Incompatibilities: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight. Protect from freezing. Store in suitable, labelled containers. Keep containers tightly closed. Store away from incompatible materials. Ensure that storage conditions comply with applicable local and national regulations.

Section 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW THE LABEL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS

Exposure Limits: Exposure limits have not been established by SafeWork Australia for any of the significant ingredients in this product.

Component CAS No. Exposure limit Value type Basis
trinexapac-ethyl 95266-40-3 5 mg/m³ TWA Syngenta

Biological Limit Values: No biological limit allocated Engineering Controls: THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION ARE INTENDED FOR THE MANUFACTURE, FORMULATION AND PACKAGING OF THE PRODUCT. FOR COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS AND/OR ON-FARM APPLICATIONS CONSULT THE PRODUCT LABEL. Containment and/or segregation is the most reliable technical protection measure if exposure cannot be eliminated. The extent of these protection measures depends on the actual risks in use. Maintain air concentrations below occupational exposure standards. Where necessary, seek additional occupational hygiene advice.

Personal Protective Equipment: The use of technical measures should always have priority over the use of personal protective equipment. When selecting personal protective equipment, seek appropriate professional advice. Personal protective equipment should comply with relevant national standards Respiratory protection: Respiratory protective equipment is not normally required when using the prepared product. Hand protection: Wear protective gloves if prolonged skin contact is likely as skin irritation may occur. Material: Nitrile rubber, butyl rubber or neoprene Break through time: > 480 min Glove thickness: 0.5 mm Remarks: The choice of an appropriate glove does not only depend on its material but also on other quality features and is different from one producer to the other. Please observe the instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time which are provided by the supplier of the gloves. Also take into consideration the specific local conditions under which the product is used, such as the danger of cuts, abrasion, and the contact time. The break through time depends amongst other things on the material, the thickness and the type of glove and therefore has to be measured for each case. Gloves should be discarded and replaced if there is any indication of degradation or chemical breakthrough. Eye protection: Eye protection such as protective glasses or goggles is recommended during use when the potential for inadvertent eye contact with the product may occur. Skin and body protection: Protective clothing is not normally required when using this product unless prolonged exposure is likely to occur. Choose body protection in relation to its type, to the concentration and amount of dangerous substances, and to the specific work-place. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
