SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES

4.1. Description of first aid measures

If product comes in contact with eyes remove the patient from gas source or contaminated area.
Take the patient to the nearest eye wash, shower or other source of clean water.
Open the eyelid(s) wide to allow the material to evaporate.
Gently rinse the affected eye(s) with clean, cool water for at least 15 minutes. Have the patient lie or sit down and tilt
the head back. Hold the eyelid(s) open and pour water slowly over the eyeball(s) at the inner corners, letting the water
run out of the outer corners.
The patient may be in great pain and wish to keep the eyes closed. It is important that the material is rinsed from the
eyes to prevent further damage.
Eye Contact Ensure that the patient looks up, and side to side as the eye is rinsed in order to better reach all parts of the eye(s)
Transport to hospital or doctor.
Even when no pain persists and vision is good, a doctor should examine the eye as delayed damage may occur.
If the patient cannot tolerate light, protect the eyes with a clean, loosely tied bandage.
Ensure verbal communication and physical contact with the patient.
DO NOT allow the patient to rub the eyes
DO NOT allow the patient to tightly shut the eyes
DO NOT introduce oil or ointment into the eye(s) without medical advice
DO NOT use hot or tepid water.
If skin or hair contact occurs:
Skin Contact Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
Following exposure to gas, remove the patient from the gas source or contaminated area.
NOTE: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus may be
required to assure the safety of the rescuer.
Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block the airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first
aid procedures.
If the patient is not breathing spontaneously, administer rescue breathing.
If the patient does not have a pulse, administer CPR.
Inhalation
If medical oxygen and appropriately trained personnel are available, administer 100% oxygen.
Summon an emergency ambulance. If an ambulance is not available, contact a physician, hospital, or Poison Control
Centre for further instruction.
Keep the patient warm, comfortable and at rest while awaiting medical care.
MONITOR THE BREATHING AND PULSE, CONTINUOUSLY.
Administer rescue breathing (preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask-device, or pocket mask as
trained) or CPR if necessary.

Ingestion Not considered a normal route of entry.

4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
See Section 11

4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
For frost-bite caused by liquefied petroleum gas:
If part has not thawed, place in warm water bath (41-46 C) for 15-20 minutes, until the skin turns pink or red.
Analgesia may be necessary while thawing.
If there has been a massive exposure, the general body temperature must be depressed, and the patient must be immediately rewarmed by whole-body
immersion, in a bath at the above temperature.
Shock may occur during rewarming.
Administer tetanus toxoid booster after hospitalization.
Prophylactic antibiotics may be useful.
The patient may require anticoagulants and oxygen.
[Shell Australia 22/12/87]
For gas exposures:
--------------------------------------------------------------
BASIC TREATMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------
Establish a patent airway with suction where necessary.
Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilation as necessary.
Administer oxygen by non-rebreather mask at 10 to 15 l/min.
Monitor and treat, where necessary, for pulmonary oedema .
Monitor and treat, where necessary, for shock.

May act as a simple asphyxiants; these are gases which, when present in high concentrations, reduce the oxygen content in air below that required to
support breathing, consciousness and life; loss of consciousness, with death by suffocation may rapidly occur in an oxygen deficient atmosphere.
CARE: Most simple asphyxiants are odourless or possess low odour and there is no warning on entry into an oxygen deficient atmosphere. If there is any
doubt, oxygen content can be checked simply and quickly.

8.2. Exposure controls

Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed
engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions

SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

11.1. Information on toxicological effects

The material is not thought to produce respiratory irritation (as classified by EC Directives using animal models).
Nevertheless inhalation, of the material, especially for prolonged periods, may produce respiratory discomfort and
occasionally, distress.
Inhalation of vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. This may be accompanied by narcosis, reduced alertness,
loss of reflexes, lack of coordination and vertigo.
Inhalation of vapours or aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material during the course of normal handling, may be
damaging to the health of the individual.
Inhaled
Material is highly volatile and may quickly form a concentrated atmosphere in confined or unventilated areas. The vapour
may displace and replace air in breathing zone, acting as a simple asphyxiant. This may happen with little warning of
overexposure.
Symptoms of asphyxia (suffocation) may include headache, dizziness, shortness of breath, muscular weakness,
drowsiness and ringing in the ears. If the asphyxia is allowed to progress, there may be nausea and vomiting, further
physical weakness and unconsciousness and, finally, convulsions, coma and death. Significant concentrations of the
non-toxic gas reduce the oxygen level in the air.

Not normally a hazard due to physical form of product.

Ingestion
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation following contact (as classified by EC
Directives using animal models). Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and
that suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting.
Skin Contact Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material
Entry into the blood-stream through, for example, cuts, abrasions, puncture wounds or lesions, may produce systemic
injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is
suitably protected.

Although the material is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC Directives), direct contact with the eye may
Eye produce transient discomfort characterised by tearing or conjunctival redness (as with windburn).
Direct contact with the eye may not cause irritation because of the extreme volatility of the gas; however concentrated
atmospheres may produce irritation after brief exposures..

Long-term exposure to the product is not thought to produce chronic effects adverse to health (as classified by EC
Chronic Directives using animal models); nevertheless exposure by all routes should be minimised as a matter of course.
Principal route of occupational exposure to the gas is by inhalation.
