FIRST AID MEASURES
Description
of first aid measures General advice Consult
a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
If
inhaled If breathed in,
move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
Consult a physician.
In
case of skin contact Take
off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Wash off with soap and plenty
of water. Consult a physician.
In
case of eye contact Rinse
thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician.
If
swallowed Do NOT induce
vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth
with water. Consult a physician.
Most
important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Symptoms
of chronic bismuth toxicity in humans consists of decreased appetite, weakness,
rheumatic pain, diarrhea, fever, metal line on the gums, foul breathe,
gingivitis, and dermatitis. Jaundice and conjunctival hemorrhage are rare, but
have been reported. Bismuth nephropathy with proteinuria may occur. The kidney
is the site of highest concentration with the liver being considerably lower.
Bismuth does pass into the amniotic fluid and into the fetus., Material is
extremely destructive to tissue of the mucous membranes and upper respiratory
tract, eyes, and skin., Cough, Shortness of breath, Headache
Indication
of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed no

EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Control
parameters
Components
with workplace control parameters
Exposure
controls Appropriate engineering controls Handle
in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands
before breaks and at the end of workday.
Personal
protective equipment Eye/face protection Face
shield and safety glasses Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved
under
appropriate
government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Skin
protection Handle with
gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal
technique
(without
touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose
of
contaminated
gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory
practices.
Wash
and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications
of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
Body
Protection Complete suit
protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment must be selected
according
to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific
workplace.
Respiratory
protection Where
risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face
particle
respirator
type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to
engineering
controls.
If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air
respirator. Use
respirators
and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such
as
NIOSH
(US) or CEN (EU).
