TYPES OF HAZARD/ EXPOSURE	ACUTE HAZARDS/ SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID/ FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE	Liquid formulations containing organic solvents may be flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.		Alcohol-resistant foam, dry sand, powder, carbon dioxide. NO water.
EXPLOSION	The explosion hazard will depend on the solvent used in the formulation.		In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water but NO direct contact with water.

EXPOSURE		PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS!
INHALATION	Irritation of upper respiratory system.	Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest.
SKIN	Irritation. Facial skin sensations.	Protective clothing. Proper application techniques.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
EYES	Irritation.	Safety goggles, face shield.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
INGESTION	Liquid formulation can be aspired into the lungs resulting in chemical pneumonitis. Tremors. Convulsions.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating, drinking or smoking.	Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer for medical attention.
