Hold eyelids apart and flush continuously with water. Continue until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre, a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes. Keep patient calm.
Leave area of exposure immediately. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Gently flush affected areas with water.
Seek medical attention, if irritation For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre on 0800 764 766 (0800 POISON) or +64 9 579 5139 (New Zealand) or a doctor. If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting, asingestion is considered unlikely, due to the product form.
First Aid
Eye wash facilities should be provided 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Highly flammable.
Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air.

When handling a significant spillage, eliminate all ignition sources, including cigarettes,open flames, spark producing switches, heaters, naked lights, mobile phones, etc.
Aerosol cans may explode when heated above 50 ºC.
Highly flammable, explosive vapour.
Evacuate area and contact emergency services.
Toxic gases may evolve, when heated. Remain upwind and notify those downwind of hazard. Wear full protective equipment, including Self Contained Breathing Apparatus(SCBA), when combating fire. Use waterfog to cool intact containers and nearby storageareas.
Dry agent, carbon dioxide foam, or water fog.
Prevent contamination of drains or waterways; absorb runoff with sand or similar.

If large quantities of cans are punctured (bulk), clear area of all unprotectedpersonnel and ventilate area.
W ear splash-proof goggles, leather gloves, coveralls, and boots. Where inhalation risks exist, wear a Type A-Class P1 (Organic vapour and Particulate) respirator.
Collect cans and allow to discharge outdoors.
Absorb any residues with sand or similar and place in clean containers for disposal. DONOT wash away into sewer.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Use safe work practices to avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation. Observe good personal hygiene, including washing hands before eating.
Keep out of the reach of children.
DO NOT puncture aerosol cans or incinerate, even when empty.
Store in a cool, dry well ventilated area, well away from oxidising agents, acids, alkalis,direct sunlight, heat or ignition sources, or foodstuffs. Ensure containers are adequately labelled, protected from physical damage, and sealed when not in use. Check regularlyfor leaks or spills. Large storage areas should have appropriate fire protection.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
DO NOT directly inhale concentrated vapours. Use in well-ventilated areas. Mechanical extraction ventilation is recommended for poorly ventilated area. Vapours are heavierthan air and may travel some distance to an ignition source and flash back. Maintainvapour levels below the recommended exposure standard.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
General population. The exposure of the general population is expected to be low and is not likely to present a hazard when it is used as recommended.
Occupational exposure. With reasonable work practices, hygiene measures and Safety precautions, is unlikely to be an occupational hazard.
Asphyxiant narcotic. This product may only present a hazard with direct eye contact,prolonged and repeated skin contact or with vapour/gas inhalation at high levels.
Low irritatant. Contact may result in lacrimation, pain, redness, and conjunctivitis.
Prolonged contact may result in corneal burns, with possible permanent damage.
Low to moderate Irritant, narcotic, asphyxiant.
Over exposure may result in upper respiratory tract irritation, nausea, and h e a d a c h e .
Low irritant. Prolonged contact may result in irritation, redness, rash, dermatitis, and Exposure considered unlikely, due to product form as an aerosol. Under normal conditions of use, ingestion is considered a highly unlikely, exposure route.

ASPHYXIANTS (1): reduce the oxygen concentration by displacement, when present in the atmospheres, in high concentrations.
As most simple asphyxiants are odourless, atmospheres deficient in oxygen do not provide adequate sensory warning of danger,.
Therefore, it is not generally appropriate to recommend an exposure standard for each Page 5 of 7

Public Health Insecticide for Flying & Crawling Insects asphyxiant, but instead warn of the need to maintain oxygen concentrations.
asphyxiants may be given an exposure standard, due to their potential for narcotic effects at highconcentrations, or an explosion hazard.
There is a significant hazard associated with workers entering poorly, ventilated areas (e.g. tanks) where oxygen levels may be deficient. An air supplied breathing apparatusmay be required if adequate ventilation is not ensured. Refer to AS/NZS 2865 -Safe Working in a Confined Space.
In general, the best practice to avoid exposure is to use engineering controls, such asadequate ventilation, rather than the use of respirators (which should be limited).
If respiratory equipment must be worn, ensure correct respirator selection and training isundertaken. Some respirators may be extremely uncomfortable, when used for longperiods. The use of air powered or air supplied respirators should be considered whereprolonged or repeated use is necessary.
Mg/m3 - Milligrams per cubic metreppm –Parts Per MillionM - moles per litre, a unit of measure of concentration.
