Seek medical attention if breathing problems develop. Skin Contact: In case of skin contact, immediately remove contaminated clothing and wash affected areas with water and soap. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur. Eye Contact: In case of eye contact, rinse with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.

Immediately rinse mouth with water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur. Symptoms Caused by Exposure: Inhalation: May cause respiratory irritation. Skin Contact: May cause skin irritation. Eye Contact: May cause eye irritation. Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, diarrhoea and vomiting. 5 Fire Fighting Measures Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use fire extinguishing methods suitable to surrounding conditions. Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical: Hazardous combustion products may include oxides of carbon and nitrogen. Product is non-flammable. Containers close to fire should be removed only if safe to do so. Use water spray to cool fire exposed containers. Minimise run-off from fire fighting entering drains or water courses. Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Fire Fighters: When fighting a major fire wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective equipment. 6 Accidental Release Measures Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures: Wear approved respiratory protection, chemical resistant gloves, protective clothing and safety boots. Evacuate all non-essential personnel from affected area. Do not breathe dust. Ensure adequate ventilation. Environmental Precautions: In the event of a major spill, prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses. Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up: Collect the spilled material and place into an HDPE bag or container for disposal. If not recycling, break, crush, or puncture and deliver empty packaging to an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management facility is not available, bury the empty packaging 500 mm below the surface in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose, clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots, in compliance with relevant local, state or territory government regulations. Do not burn empty containers or product. Triple-rinse containers before disposal. 7 Handling and Storage Precautions for Safe Handling: Use of safe work practices are recommended to avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation of dust. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Food, beverages and tobacco products should not be stored or consumed where this material is in use. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storage or re-use. Provide eyewash fountains and safety showers in close proximity to points of potential exposure. Conditions for Safe Storage: Store in a cool, dry and well ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed. Protect from direct sunlight. Keep away from seed, feed, foodstuffs, insecticides, fungicides, or other fertilisers.

Respiratory Protection: Where an inhalation risk exists, wear an approved dust/particulate filter respirator. See Australian Standards AS/NZS 1715 and 1716 for more information. Skin Protection: Gaunlet-length chemical resistant gloves. See Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 2161 for more information. When selecting gloves for use against certain chemicals, the degradation resistance, permeation rate and permeation breakthrough time should be considered. Occupational protective clothing including cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist, or equivalent clothing (depending on conditions in which it has to be used, in particular as regards the period for which it is worn, which shall be determined on the basis of the seriousness of the risk, the frequency of exposure to the risk, the characteristics of the workstation of each worker and the performance of the protective clothing). See Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 4501 for more information. Eye and Face Protection: Eye and face protectors for protection against splashing materials or liquids. See Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1337 for more information. 9 Physical and Chemical Properties Appearance: Form: Granules Colour: White to off-white Odour: No information available Odour Threshold: No information available pH-Value: No information available Melting point/freezing point: No information available Initial Boiling Point/Boiling Range: No information available Flash Point: No information available Flammability: Product is non-flammable Auto-ignition Temperature: No information available Decomposition Temperature: No information available Explosion Limits: Lower: Not applicable Upper: Not applicable Vapour Pressure: No information available Density: 1.25-1.50 g/mL Relative Density: No information available Vapour Density: No information available Evaporation Rate: No information available Solubility in Water: No information available Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water): No information available Viscosity: No information available (Contd. on page 4) Page 4/6 Safety Data Sheet according to WHS Regulations Printing date 09.11.2021 Revision: 09.11.2021 Product Name: ProForce Onset 10 GR Herbicide (Contd. of page 3) 10 Stability and Reactivity Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: No dangerous reactions known under conditions of normal use.
