SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES

4.1. Description of first aid measures

If this product comes in contact with the eyes:

Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water.
Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by
Eye Contact
occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.
If skin or hair contact occurs:
Immediately flush body and clothes with large amounts of water, using safety shower if available.
Quickly remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
Skin Contact
Wash skin and hair with running water. Continue flushing with water until advised to stop by the Poisons Information
Centre.
Transport to hospital, or doctor.

If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.

Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid
procedures.
Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or
Inhalation pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary.
Transport to hospital, or doctor, without delay.
Inhalation of vapours or aerosols (mists, fumes) may cause lung oedema.
Corrosive substances may cause lung damage (e.g. lung oedema, fluid in the lungs).
As this reaction may be delayed up to 24 hours after exposure, affected individuals need complete rest (preferably in
Chemwatch: 9-221828 Page 4 of 15 Issue Date: 29/11/2016

semi-recumbent posture) and must be kept under medical observation even if no symptoms are (yet) manifested.
Before any such manifestation, the administration of a spray containing a dexamethasone derivative or beclomethasone
derivative may be considered.
This must definitely be left to a doctor or person authorised by him/her.
(ICSC13719)
For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor at once.
Urgent hospital treatment is likely to be needed.
If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway
Ingestion and prevent aspiration.
Observe the patient carefully.
Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious.
Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can comfortably drink.
Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.

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 acute or short-term repeated exposures to highly alkaline materials:
Respiratory stress is uncommon but present occasionally because of soft tissue edema.
Unless endotracheal intubation can be accomplished under direct vision, cricothyroidotomy or tracheotomy may be necessary.
Oxygen is given as indicated.
The presence of shock suggests perforation and mandates an intravenous line and fluid administration.
Damage due to alkaline corrosives occurs by liquefaction necrosis whereby the saponification of fats and solubilisation of proteins allow deep
penetration into the tissue.
Alkalis continue to cause damage after exposure.
INGESTION:
Milk and water are the preferred diluents
No more than 2 glasses of water should be given to an adult.
Neutralising agents should never be given since exothermic heat reaction may compound injury.
* Catharsis and emesis are absolutely contra-indicated.
* Activated charcoal does not absorb alkali.
* Gastric lavage should not be used.
Supportive care involves the following:
Withhold oral feedings initially.
If endoscopy confirms transmucosal injury start steroids only within the first 48 hours.
Carefully evaluate the amount of tissue necrosis before assessing the need for surgical intervention.
Patients should be instructed to seek medical attention whenever they develop difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia).
SKIN AND EYE:
Injury should be irrigated for 20-30 minutes.
Eye injuries require saline. [Ellenhorn & Barceloux: Medical Toxicology]

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
8.2.1. Appropriate
to provide this high level of protection.
engineering controls
The basic types of engineering controls are:
Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk.

8.2.2. Personal
protection

Safety glasses with unperforated side shields may be used where continuous eye protection is desirable, as in
laboratories; spectacles are not sufficient where complete eye protection is needed such as when handling
bulk-quantities, where there is a danger of splashing, or if the material may be under pressure.
Eye and face protection Chemical goggles.whenever there is a danger of the material coming in contact with the eyes; goggles must be properly
fitted.
Full face shield (20 cm, 8 in minimum) may be required for supplementary but never for primary protection of eyes;
these afford face protection.

Skin protection See Hand protection below

Elbow length PVC gloves
Hands/feet protection
When handling corrosive liquids, wear trousers or overalls outside of boots, to avoid spills entering boots.

Body protection See Other protection below

Overalls.
Other protection PVC Apron.
PVC protective suit may be required if exposure severe.

SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

11.1. Information on toxicological effects

Evidence shows, or practical experience predicts, that the material produces irritation of the respiratory system, in a
Inhaled substantial number of individuals, following inhalation. In contrast to most organs, the lung is able to respond to a
chemical insult by first removing or neutralising the irritant and then repairing the damage. The repair process, which
Chemwatch: 9-221828 Page 9 of 15 Issue Date: 29/11/2016
Version No: 3.4 Print Date: 22/01/2019
BWT LIQUID PLUS

initially evolved to protect mammalian lungs from foreign matter and antigens, may however, produce further lung
damage resulting in the impairment of gas exchange, the primary function of the lungs.
Inhalation of alkaline corrosives may produce irritation of the respiratory tract with coughing, choking, pain and mucous
membrane damage. Pulmonary oedema may develop in more severe cases; this may be immediate or in most cases
following a latent period of 5-72 hours. Symptoms may include a tightness in the chest, dyspnoea, frothy sputum,
cyanosis and dizziness.
Inhalation of of potassium hydroxide dust may be fatal due to spasm, inflammation and oedema of the larynx and
bronchi, chemical pneumonitis and severe pulmonary oedema. Symptoms of overexposure include burning sensation,
coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, nausea and vomiting
Accidental ingestion of the material may be harmful; animal experiments indicate that ingestion of less than 150 gram
may be fatal or may produce serious damage to the health of the individual.
Ingestion Ingestion of alkaline corrosives may produce immediate pain, and circumoral burns. Mucous membrane corrosive damage
is characterised by a white appearance and soapy feel; this may then become brown, oedematous and ulcerated. Profuse
salivation with an inability to swallow or speak may also result.
The material can produce severe chemical burns following direct contact with the skin.

Skin contact is not thought to produce harmful health effects (as classified under EC Directives using animal models).
Systemic harm, however, has been identified following exposure of animals by at least one other route and the material
may still produce health damage following entry through wounds, lesions or abrasions. Good hygiene practice requires that
exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting.
Potassium hydroxide burns are not immediately painful; onset of pain may be delayed minutes or hours; thus care should
Skin Contact
be taken to avoid contamination of gloves and boots.
Skin contact with alkaline corrosives may produce severe pain and burns; brownish stains may develop. The corroded
area may be soft, gelatinous and necrotic; tissue destruction may be deep.
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.
When applied to the eye(s) of animals, the material produces severe ocular lesions which are present twenty-four hours or
more after instillation.
Eye
Direct contact with alkaline corrosives may produce pain and burns. Oedema, destruction of the epithelium, corneal
opacification and iritis may occur. In less severe cases these symptoms tend to resolve.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to corrosives may result in the erosion of teeth, inflammatory and ulcerative changes in
the mouth and necrosis (rarely) of the jaw. Bronchial irritation, with cough, and frequent attacks of bronchial pneumonia
may ensue. Gastrointestinal disturbances may also occur.
Chronic Long-term exposure to respiratory irritants may result in disease of the airways involving difficult breathing and related
systemic problems.
Limited evidence suggests that repeated or long-term occupational exposure may produce cumulative health effects
involving organs or biochemical systems.

The material may produce moderate eye irritation leading to inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants
may produce conjunctivitis.
The material may produce severe skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure, and may produce a contact
POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE dermatitis (nonallergic). This form of dermatitis is often characterised by skin redness (erythema) thickening of the
epidermis.
Histologically there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer (spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the
