4. First-aid Measures
INGESTION: If accidently swallowed, give large quantities of water or milk to dilute the effects on the stomach. Do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention.
INHALATION: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. Seek medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: In case of contact, immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing. Seek immediate medical attention.
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Eyelids should be held apart during irrigation to ensure water contact with entire surface of eyes and lids. Seek immediate medical attention.

5. Fire-fighting Measures
FLAMMABLE. Keep away from heat and flame.
In case of fire, use water spray, dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide extinguishers. Use water to keep fire-exposed containers cool. For large fires, fire-fighters should wear full emergency protective equipment including self-contained breathing apparatus

6. Accidental Release Measures
Always wear appropriate protective clothing (refer to "Section 8.2"). Eliminate all ignition sources. Large quantities: Contain and absorb with sand or sawdust and prevent from entering drains or watercourses; should this occur, the relevant Local Authority must be notified. Small quantities: Soak up with absorbent material and remove to a chemical disposal area.

7. Handling and Storage
7.1. Handling
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices. Refer to Section 8 for appropriate personal protection equipment. Wash thoroughly after handling.
INHALATION: Avoid breathing vapour. Use with adequate ventilation.
SKIN CONTACT: Do not get on skin or on clothing.
EYES: Do not get in eyes.
Keep well away from all ignition sources including, but not limited to, pilot lights, heaters, cigarettes, electric motors and static discharge.7.2. Storage
Store in a cool, dry place.
Store away from foodstuffs.
Keep away from heat, sparks, flame and other ignition sources.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
8.1. Exposure Controls
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: The following exposure control techniques may be used to effectively minimize employee exposure: local exhaust ventilation, enclosed system design, process isolation and remote control in combination with appropriate use of personal protective equipment and prudent work practices. These techniques may not necessarily address all issues pertaining to your operations. We, therefore, recommend that you consult with experts of your choice to determine whether or not your programmes are adequate.
If airborne contaminants are generated when the material is heated or handled, sufficient ventilation in volume and air flow patterns should be provided to keep air contaminant concentrations below acceptable levels. Refer to the exposure limits as given in Section 8.3.
8.2. Personal Protection
Wear synthetic apron and boots if contact is likely. Where air contaminants can exceed acceptable criteria, use approved respiratory protection equipment. Respirators should be selected based on the form and concentration of contaminants in air. Use goggles and face shield if contact is likely. Wear impervious gloves as required to prevent skin contact.

The above information is based on theoretical calculations from the ingredients contained within the preparation. However, on the basis of limited animal test data and past experience of the use of this type of product, it is anticipated that the toxicological effects would be less severe than those predicted above. Previous tests carried out on products of similar composition have shown: LD50 oral(rat) >2000 mg/kg; LD50 dermal(rat) >2000 mg/kg. Skin irritation(rabbit): Slight irritant; Eye irritation(rabbit): Slight irritant.Phenol 108-95-2
