                      attention if irritation occurs.  Immediately flush eyes
                      with running water for at least 30 minutes, keeping    
                      eyelids open.                                          
Skin contact:         Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water.  Remove  
                      contaminated clothing and shoes.  Continue to rinse for
                      at least 15 minutes.  Get medical attention.  May cause
                      sensitization by skin contact. Once sensitized, a      
                      severe allergic reaction may occur when subsequently   
                      exposed to very low levels.  Wash contaminated clothing
                      before reuse.  Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.  In
                      case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of 
                      water for at least 15 minutes while removing           
                      contaminated clothing and shoes.                       
Inhalation:           Get medical attention immediately. Move exposed person 
                      to fresh air.  If it is suspected that fumes are still 
                      present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate mask or
                      self-contained breathing apparatus.  Keep person warm  
                      and at rest.  If not breathing, if breathing is        
                      irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide     
                      artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. 
                      It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give
                      mouth to mouth resuscitation.  If unconscious, place in
                      recovery position and get medical attention            
                      immediately.  Maintain an open airway.  Loosen tight   
                      clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.     
Ingestion:            Get medical attention immediately.  Wash out mouth with
                      water.  Remove dentures if any.  Move exposed person to
                      fresh air.  Keep person warm and at rest.  Do not      
                      induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical    
                      personnel.  If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept
                      low so that vomit does not enter the lungs.  Never give
                      anything by mouth to an unconscious person.  If        
                      unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical
                      attention immediately.  Maintain an open airway.       
                      Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie belt or    
                      waistband.  If not breathing, if breathing is irregular
                      or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial    
                      respiration or oxygen by trained personnel.            
Protection of         No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or
first-aiders:         without suitable training.  It may be dangerous to the 
                      person providing aid to give mouth to mouth            
                      resuscitation.  Wear suitable protective clothing,     
                      gloves and eye/face protection.  If it is suspected    
                      that fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear  
                      an appropriate mask or self-contained breathing        
                      apparatus.  Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly with 
                      water before removing it, or wear gloves.

Recommended monitoring If this product contains ingredients with exposure     
procedures:            limits, personal, workplace atmosphere or biological   
                       monitoring may be required to determine the            
                       effectiveness of the ventilation or other control      
                       measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory       
                       protective equipment.                                  
Engineering measures:  Use only with adequate ventilation.  If user operations
                       generate dust, fumes, gas, vapor or mist, use process  
                       enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other         
                       engineering controls to keep worker exposure to        
                       airborne contaminants below any recommended or         
                       statutory limits.  Processes should be designed to     
                       minimize airborne and skin exposure to hazardous       
                       substances.

                       chemical products, before eating, smoking and using the
                       lavatory and at the end of the working period.         
                       Appropriate techniques should be used to remove        
                       potentially contaminated clothing.  Wash contaminated  
                       clothing before reusing.  Ensure that eyewash stations 
                       and safety showers are close to the workstation        
                       location.  Eating, drinking and smoking should be      
                       prohibited in areas where this material is handled,    
                       stored and processed.  Remove/Take off immediately all 
                       contaminated clothing.  Contaminated work clothing     
                       should not be allowed out of the workplace.            
Personal protection                                                           
Respiratory:           Use properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed          
                       respirator complying with an approved standard if a    
                       risk assessment indicates this is necessary.           
                       Respirator selection must be based on known or         
                       anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product
                       and the safe working limits of the selected respirator.
Hands:                 Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an
                       approved standard should be worn at all times when     
                       handling chemical products if a risk assessment        
                       indicates this is necessary.  The user must check that 
                       the final choice of type of glove selected for handling
                       this product is the most appropriate and takes into    
                       account the particular conditions of use, as included  
                       in the user's risk assessment.                         
Eyes:                  Avoid contact with eyes.  Safety eyewear should be used
                       when there is a likelihood of exposure.                
Skin:                  Avoid contact with skin and clothing.  Wear protective 
                       clothing.  Body garments used should be based upon the 
                       task being performed (e.g., lab coat, chemical         
                       resistant protective suit, slevelets, synthetic apron, 
                       gauntlets) to avoid exposed skin surfaces. Wash        
                       contaminated clothing thoroughly with water before     
                       removing it, or wear gloves.                           
Environmental exposure Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment   
controls:              should be checked to ensure they comply with the       
                       requirements of environmental protection legislation.  
                       In some cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering  
                       modifications to the process equipment will be         
                       necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
