Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
lids.
- If pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
- Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.
SKIN
» If skin contact occurs:
- Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
- Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
- Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
INHALED
» - If dust is inhaled, remove from contaminated area.
- Encourage patient to blow nose to ensure clear passage of breathing.
- If irritation or discomfort persists seek medical attention.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
» Treat symptomatically.
For acute or short term repeated exposures to strong acids:
- Airway problems may arise from laryngeal edema and inhalation exposure. Treat with 100% oxygen initially.
- Respiratory distress may require cricothyroidotomy if endotracheal intubation is contraindicated by excessive swelling
- Intravenous lines should be established immediately in all cases where there is evidence of circulatory compromise.
- Strong acids produce a coagulation necrosis characterised by formation of a coagulum (eschar) as a result of the dessicating action of the acid on
proteins in specific tissues.
Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
» - Water spray or fog.
- Foam.
- Dry chemical powder.
- BCF (where regulations permit).
FIRE FIGHTING
» - Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
- Wear full body protective clothing with breathing apparatus.
- Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water course.
- Use fire fighting procedures suitable for surrounding area.
When any large container (including road and rail tankers) is involved in a fire,
consider evacuation by 800 metres in all directions.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
» - Non combustible.
- Not considered to be a significant fire risk.
- Acids may react with metals to produce hydrogen, a highly flammable and explosive gas.
- Heating may cause expansion or decomposition leading to violent rupture of containers.
Decomposition may produce toxic fumes of: ammonia, nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx).
FIRE INCOMPATIBILITY
» None known.
HAZCHEM: 2X
Personal Protective Equipment
Gas tight chemical resistant suit.
Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
MINOR SPILLS
» - Drains for storage or use areas should have retention basins for pH adjustments and dilution of spills before discharge or disposal of material.
- Check regularly for spills and leaks.
- Clean up all spills immediately.
- Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
- Wear protective clothing, gloves, safety glasses and dust respirator.
- Use dry clean up procedures and avoid generating dust.
MAJOR SPILLS
» - Clear area of personnel and move upwind.
- Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
- Wear full body protective clothing with breathing apparatus.
- Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water course.
Personal Protective Equipment advice is contained in Section 8 of the MSDS.

Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING
» - Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation.
- Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs.
- Use in a well-ventilated area.
- Avoid contact with moisture.
SUITABLE CONTAINER
» - DO NOT use aluminium or galvanised containers.
- Glass container is suitable for laboratory quantities.
- Lined metal can, lined metal pail/ can.
- Plastic pail.
- Polyliner drum.
- Packing as recommended by manufacturer.
STORAGE INCOMPATIBILITY
» - Inorganic acids are generally soluble in water with the release of hydrogen ions. The resulting solutions have pH's of less than 7.0.
- Inorganic acids neutralise chemical bases (for example: amines and inorganic hydroxides) to form salts - neutralisation can generate dangerously
large amounts of heat in small spaces.
- The dissolution of inorganic acids in water or the dilution of their concentrated solutions with additional water may generate significant heat.
- The addition of water to inorganic acids often generates sufficient heat in the small region of mixing to cause some of the water to boil
explosively. The resulting "bumping" can spatter the acid.
Avoid contamination / mixing with oxidising agents as ignition may result.
- Avoid strong bases.
Avoid halogens
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
» - Store in original containers.
- Keep containers securely sealed.
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
- Store away from incompatible materials and foodstuff containers.
Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EXPOSURE CONTROLS
The following materials had no OELs on our records
• sulfamic acid: CAS:5329- 14- 6
PERSONAL PROTECTION
RESPIRATOR
Particulate
EYE
» - Safety glasses with side shields.
- Chemical goggles.
- Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the
wearing of lens or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption
for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal and
suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon
as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after
workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].
HANDS/FEET
» - Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
- Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber.
Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Factors such as:
- frequency and duration of contact,
- chemical resistance of glove material,
- glove thickness and
- dexterity,
OTHER
» - Overalls.
- PVC Apron.
- PVC protective suit may be required if exposure severe.
- Eyewash unit.
» - Respirators may be necessary when engineering and administrative controls do not adequately prevent exposures.
- The decision to use respiratory protection should be based on professional judgment that takes into account toxicity information, exposure
measurement data, and frequency and likelihood of the worker's exposure - ensure users are not subject to high thermal loads which may result in heat
stress or distress due to personal protective equipment (powered, positive flow, full face apparatus may be an option).
- Published occupational exposure limits, where they exist, will assist in determining the adequacy of the selected respiratory . These may be

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
government mandated or vendor recommended.
- Certified respirators will be useful for protecting workers from inhalation of particulates when properly selected and fit tested as part of a
complete respiratory protection program.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
» - Local exhaust ventilation is required where solids are handled as powders or crystals; even when particulates are relatively large, a certain
proportion will be powdered by mutual friction.
- If in spite of local exhaust an adverse concentration of the substance in air could occur, respiratory protection should be considered.
Such protection might consist of:
(a): particle dust respirators, if necessary, combined with an absorption cartridge;
(b): filter respirators with absorption cartridge or canister of the right type;
(c): fresh-air hoods or masks.
Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh
circulating air required to effectively remove the contaminant.
