4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: If contact with eyes occurs: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present,
after 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
SKIN: If on skin or clothing: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. Call a poison
control center or doctor for treatment advise.
INGESTION: If swallowed: Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Have person sip a glass of water if able to
swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to by a poison control center or doctor. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
INHALATION: If inhaled: Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial respiration,
preferably mouth-to-mouth, if possible. Call poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: Lithium hypochlorite is corrosive to eyes, skin and mucous membranes. Consideration should be given to careful
endoscopy as stomach or esophageal burns, perforations or strictures may occur. Careful gastric lavage with an endotracheal tube in placeshould be considered. Observation may be warranted. Treatment is controlled removal of exposure with symptomatic and supportive care.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASHPOINT AND METHOD: Not Applicable
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not Applicable
GENERAL HAZARD: Strong oxidizer. Contact with combustible material may cause a fire or explosion.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: In case of fire or smoke, call the fire department. Do not attempt to extinguish the fire without a self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA). Do not let the fire burn. Flood with copious amounts of water. DO NOT use ABC or other dry chemicalextinguishers since there is the potential for a violent reaction.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Combustion product may include, but are not limited to, oxygen and toxic chlorine gases.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Flood with copious amounts of water.
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: Firefighters should wear full protective clothing and self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Thoroughly decontaminate fire fighting equipment including all fire fighting wearing apparel after the incident.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
GENERAL PROCEDURES: STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Using appropriate protective
clothing and safety equipment, contain spilled material. Do not add water to spilled material. Using clean dedicated equipment, sweep andscoop all spilled material, contaminated soil, and other contaminated material and place into clean dry containers for disposal. Do not use floorsweeping compounds to clean up spills. Do not close containers containing wet or damp material. They should be left open to disperse anyhazardous gases that may form. Do not transport wet or damp material. Keep product out of sewers, watersheds and water systems. Do notcontaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal or cleaning of equipment. Dispose of according to local, state and federal regulations.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
GENERAL PROCEDURES: Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Avoid breathing dust or fumes.
HANDLING: STRONG OXIDIZING AGENT: Do not mix with other chemicals, except water. Mix only with water. Never add water to
product. Always add product to large quantities of water. Use clean dry utensils. Do not add this product to any dispensing device containingremnants of any other product. Such use may cause a violent reaction leading to fire or explosion. Contamination with moisture, organicmatter or other chemicals will start a chemical reaction and generate heat, hazardous gas, possible fire and explosion. In case of contaminationor decomposition, do not reseal container. If possible, isolate container in open air or well ventilated area. Flood area with large volumes ofwater.
STORAGE: Keep this product dry in its original container. (for bags: Store dry product in its original unopened bag until use. For partially used
bags, fold over top of bag and secure with adhesive tape. for bottles: Store dry product in orginal tightly closed container when not in use. )Store unopened and partially used containers in a secure location away from children. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area away from heator open flame. Moisture may decompose this product and cause a violent reaction leading to fire and explosion. In case of decomposition,isolate container if possible and flood area with large amounts of water to dissolve all material before discarding this container. Do not BioGuard Burn Out 35
contaminate food or feed by storage or disposal.
