Contact even with small amounts of concentrated sulphuric acid can cause damage and
possible loss of sight. Contact with more dilute forms of sulphuric acid can also cause
damage but with possible recovery of sight.
Liquid acetone and high concentrations of its vapour can cause moderate eye irritation.
Vapour can irritate the eyes. Liquid can cause severe irritation and corrosive damage to eye
surface.

SKIN CONTACT
Hydrogen fluoride can cause deep and excruciatingly painful skin burns. Burns from strong
HF (50-70%) are felt straight away. Weaker solutions (25%) may take a few minutes to be
noticed, solutions of 1-20% may not be felt for several hours. Serious skin splashes have
caused death.
Concentrated acid can cause severe burns if not rinsed off immediately.
Skin contact with Pyridine causing reddening, thickening and cracking. Pyridine absorbed in
the skin might cause severe skin eruptions in areas exposed to sunlight.
Chronic skin contact to KEROSENE, PETROLEUM HYDROCARBON DISTILLATE leads to dermatitis.
Prolonged exposure has caused cases of aplastic anaemia and death.
INGESTION
Hydrofluoric Acid may cause severe burning and/or perforation of the digestive system may
lead to death.
Hydrochloric acid causes severe burns of the mouth, oesophagus and stomach with
consequent pain, nausea and vomiting, thirst, diarrhoea, circulatory collapse and possibly
death.
ACETIC ACID, GLACIAL ACETIC ACID, ETHANOIC ACID (CH3COOH) MAY CAUSE Irritation of gastro
intestinal tract, which can result in kidney damage.
Toluene, MethylBenzen can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and loss of consciousness.
Isopropyl Alcohol may cause drowsiness, gastro intestinal pain, nausea, vomiting and
diarrhoea. Lethal dose for humans is estimated to be approximately 131 g.

neoprene.
4. Use protection suitable for conditions.
Eye Protection
1. Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where splashing is
possible.
2. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick drench facilities in work area.
Personal
Respirators
(NIOSH
Approved)
For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use
a full-face piece positive-pressure, air-supplied Respirator.
If the exposure limit is exceeded, a full-face piece respirator with an acid
gas cartridge.
Use protection suitable for conditions

PROCEDURES PROTOCOL
Ensure the danger is clear for the healthcare workers and victim.
Use the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment safely.
Identify the chemical substance if possible.
Assess the patients condition.

Eyes Contact
Use the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment safely.
Chemical safety goggles and a full face shield attached to a wide brimmed
hard hat whenever anhydrous HF may splash.
Flush immediately with flowing water for 20 minutes, by the clock, holding the eyelids
open.
If irritation persists, obtain medical advice immediately.
3.4.3
Skin Contact
Use the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment safely.
Chemical safety goggles and a full face shield attached to a wide brimmed
hard hat whenever anhydrous HF may splash. Rubber Gloves, overalls,
boots, are required and sleeve protectors are recommended.
Avoid contact with this chemical.
Remove clothing, shoes and leather goods from affected area.
Immediately flush area with running water for at least 20 minutes under running water or
other sterile solution.
3.4.4
Cover affected area with Calcium Gluconate gel or a paste of Magnesium Oxide in the
absence of Calcium Gluconate. Massaging HF Antidote Gel into the wound until there is a
cessation of pain is the most effective first aid treatment available. HF Antidote Gel
contains Calcium Gluconate which combines with HF to form insoluble Calcium Fluoride,
thus preventing the extraction of Calcium from the body tissue and bones.
Obtain medical attention AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Ingestion
Use the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment safely.
Chemical safety goggles and a full face shield attached to a wide brimmed
hard hat whenever anhydrous HF may splash. Rubber Gloves, overalls,
boots, are required and sleeve protectors are recommended.
Never give anything to victim if losing consciousness or is convulsing.
Do not induce vomiting.
If victim vomits naturally, have victim lean forward to reduce risk of choking.
Rinse mouth with water.
Have victim drink several calcium tablets with 240-300 ml of water to dilute material in
stomach.
Obtain medical attention.
