SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
Quality Animal Health Products
FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND VAPOUR. Vapour is heavier than air and may spread long distances. Distant ignition and
flashback are possible. During a fire, irritating/toxic smoke and fumes may be generated. Mild central nervous system
depressant. High vapour concentrations may cause headache, nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, incoordination, and
confusion. Higher exposures may result in unconsciousness and death. May be irritating to the respiratory tract. EYE
IRRITANT. Causes eye irritation. POSSIBLE REPRODUCTIVE HAZARD - may cause harmful effects to the fetus,
based on laboratory animal evidence. Aspiration hazard. Swallowing or vomiting of the liquid may cause aspiration
(breathing) into the lungs.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS (for more details, refer to Section 11)
Primary entry route(s):
Effects of short-term (acute) and long-term (chronic) exposure:
Inhalation:
May cause central nervous system (CNS) depression. May cause headache, nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, incoordination
and confusion. High exposures may result in unconsciousness and death. May be irritating to the respiratory tract.
Skin:
May cause a mild irritation.
Eye:
Product is a moderate to severe eye irritant.
Ingestion:
Ingestion of large quantities of this product may be harmful. Aspiration hazard. Swallowing or vomiting of the liquid may
cause aspiration (breathing) into the lungs.
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation:
Remove source of contamination or have victim move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. Obtain medical attention immediately.
Skin contact:
Flush contaminated area with lukewarm, gently running water for at least 5 minutes or until the chemical is removed.
Under running water, remove contaminated clothing. If irritation persists, obtain medical advice. Completely
decontaminate clothing before reuse or discard.
Eye contact:
Immediately flush the contaminated eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing water for at least 20 minutes, or until the
chemical is removed, while holding the eyelid(s) open. Obtain medical attention immediately.
Ingestion:
NEVER give anything by mouth if victim is rapidly losing consciousness, or is unconscious or convulsing. Rinse mouth
thoroughly with water. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Have victim drink two glasses of water. If vomiting occurs
naturally, have victim lean forward to reduce risk of aspiration. Repeat administration of water. Obtain medical attention
immediately.
SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire hazards/conditions of flammability:
Flammable liquid. Can readily form explosive mixtures with air at room temperature. Vapour is heavier than air and may
travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back to a leak or open container. Distant ignition and
flashback are possible.
Flash point (Method):
Lower flammable limit (% by volume):
Quality Animal Health Products
Upper flammable limit (% by volume):
Sensitivity to mechanical impact:
Probably not sensitive. Stable material. Sensitivity to static discharge:
Product will not accumulate static charge since it has a high electrical conductivity. Mixtures of vapour and air at
concentrations in the flammable range may be ignited by a static discharge of sufficient energy.
Auto-ignition temperature:
Suitable extinguishing media:
Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, appropriate foam, water spray or fog.
Special fire-fighting procedures/equipment:
During a fire, irritating/toxic smoke and fumes may be generated. Vapours can accumulate in confined spaces, resulting in
a toxicity and flammability hazard. A self-contained breathing apparatus is required for fire-fighting personnel to protect
themselves from toxic products produced during the combustion. Closed containers may explode with the pressure
building from the heat. Use water to cool fire exposed containers and prevent this situation.
Hazardous combustion products:
Carbon oxides and other irritant gases, which may include unburned alcohol and toxic constituents. SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions:
FLAMMABLE. Restrict access to area until completion of clean-up. Ensure clean-up is conducted by trained personnel
only. Remove all ignition sources. Remove or isolate flammable and combustible materials. Wear adequate personal
protective equipment (See Section 8). Ventilate area.
Spill response/Cleanup:
Stop the flow if it can be done safely. Keep materials which can burn away from spilled material. Prevent material from
entering waterways, sewers or confined spaces. SMALL SPILLS: Soak up spill with absorbent material which does not
react with spilled chemical. Put material in suitable, covered, labelled containers. Flush area with water. LARGE SPILLS:
Contain spill with earth, sand, or absorbent material which does not react with spilled material. Remove liquid by
explosion-proof pumps or vacuum equipment. Place in suitable, covered, labelled containers. Contact fire and emergency
services and supplier for advice. Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same hazards as the spilled product.
Environmental precautions:
For large spills, notify government occupational health and safety and environmental authorities. Confine spill, preventing
it from entering sewer lines or waterways. Dispose of as per local, state and federal regulations.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Safe handling procedures:
FLAMMABLE, POSSIBLE REPRODUCTIVE HAZARD and EYE IRRITANT. Before handling, it is very important that
engineering controls are operating and that protective equipment requirements and personal hygiene measures are being
followed. People working with this chemical should be properly trained regarding its hazards and its safe use. Ground all
drums, transfer vessels, hoses and piping. Do not use near welding operations, flames or hot surfaces. Use in a in well-
ventilated area. Avoid generating vapours or mists. Inspect containers for leaks before handling. Never return contaminated
material to its original container. Label containers appropriately. Keep containers closed when not in use. Assume that empty
containers contain residues which are hazardous. Do not use with incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
Storage requirements:
Quality Animal Health Products
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight and away from heat and ignition sources. Keep storage area clear of ignition sources. Store away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers. If stored at temperatures below 0oC (32oF), this product may appear cloudy. Allowing it to warm at room temperature will restore the normal appearance without affecting efficacy. Inspect all incoming containers to make sure they are properly labelled and not damaged. Store in suitable, labelled containers. Keep containers tightly closed. Empty containers may contain hazardous residues. Keep closed. Bond and ground metal containers in storage area. Keep absorbents for leaks and spills readily available. Storage facilities should be made of fire resistant materials. For large-scale storage, use a grounded, non-sparking ventilation system, approved explosion-proof equipment and intrinsically safe electrical systems. Storage area should be clearly identified, clear of obstruction and accessible only to trained personnel. Inspect periodically for damage or leaks. Have appropriate fire extinguishers and spill clean-up equipment in or near storage area. SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering controls:
Local exhaust ventilation system is recommended to maintain concentrations of contaminants below exposure limits.
Respiratory Protection:
Respiratory protection is required if the concentrations are higher than the exposure limits. Use a NIOSH approved respirator
if the exposure limits are unknown.
Protective Clothing/Equipment:
Wear chemically protective gloves (impervious), boots, aprons, and gauntlets to prevent prolonged or repeated skin contact.
Wear protective chemical safety goggles or in a splash environment in combination with a face shield. Make emergency
eyewash stations, safety/quick-drench showers, and washing facilities available in work area. Separate contaminated work
clothes from street clothes. Launder before reuse.
Comments:
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid breathing vapours or mists. Never eat, drink, or smoke in work areas. Practice good
personal hygiene after using this material.
