Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
- After inhalation: Remove affected person from the immediate area. Ensure supply of fresh air. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. Consult a physician.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Consult a physician.
- After eye contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.
- After skin contact: Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Remove soiled or soaked clothing immediately. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
- Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:Irritation of nose and throat. Irritation of eyes and mucous membranes.
The effects might be delayed.
- Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed: Treat symptomatically and consider the Se and Pb content in the material.
Fire-fighting measures
- Extinguishing media:
Suitable: The product itself does not burn. Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment e.g.: dry powder, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water spray jet.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: strong water jet.
- Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
In the event of fire the following can be released: metal dust, metallic oxides.
- Advice for firefighters:
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.
Accidental release measures
- Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid dust formation. Ensure adequate ventilation.
- Environmental precautions:
Do not discharge into the drains/surface waters/groundwater. Avoid dust formation.
- Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:
Pick up mechanically. Send in suitable containers for recovery or disposal.
Handling and storage
- Protective measures:
Take note of Directive 98/24/EC on the protection of the health and safety of workers from the risks related to chemical agents at work. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If workplace exposure limits are exceeded, respiratory protection approved for this particular job must be worn.
Technical measures/precautions:
Provide good ventilation of working area (local exhaust ventilation if necessary).
- Advice on general occupational hygiene:
The main potential risks occur from the potential of inhalation of the small particles, especially during the storage, loading, unloading and melting of the material. The appropriate risk management measures include:
- Provide adequate ventilation.
- Avoid generation and spreading of dust (use of hoods above smelters and appropriate dust filters; sprinklers around storage areas).
- Avoid inhalation of dust and small particles and contact with skin and eyes.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves and/or RPE) in areas where dusts are present (smelting area and during critical maintenance operations).
- Observe good industrial hygiene practices.
- Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Avoid direct contact with strong acids.
