3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
------
Main Hazards:Thermal burns from hot material.
Causes Burns.
Danger of cumulative effects.
Health effects eyes:Liquid will cause severe conjunctival irritation and corneal damage.Serious damage may result if treatment is delayed.
Health effects skin:Material will cause chemical burns.
Health efects
Ingestion:Contains lead which is a cumulative poison. Swallowing may have the following effects: - corrosion of mouth, throat and digestive tract. Abdominal pain. Nausea. Long teerm effects may include: - anaemia, fatigue, abdominal pain, anorexia, constipation or diarrhoea, reduction in the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood.
Health effects
Inhalation:Exposure to dust or processing fumes may have the following effects: - severe irritation of nose, throat and respiratory tract, systemic effects similar to those resulting from ingestion. Because of slow elimination from the body repeated exposures may result in accumulation.
------
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
------
EyesImmediately flood the eye with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, holding the eye open. Obtain medical attention urgently.
SkinWash skin with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing as washing proceeds. Obtain medical attention urgently.
IngestionWash out mouth with water. Have victim drink 1-3 glasses of water to dilute stomach contents. Do not induce vomiting. Obtain medical attention urgently.
InhalationRemove from exposure. Keep warm and at rest. Obtain medical attention urgently.
OtherNOTES TO PHYSICIAN: Treat skin burns conventionally. Administer cycloplegics and topical opthalmic antibiotics if there is corneal damage and obtain specialist advice. Avoid gastric lavage or emetics - these increase the possibility of perforation.
------
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES.
------
Extinguishing MediaNot combustible. Selecet extinguishing agent appropriate to other materials involved Do not use water jet or alkaline material (soda/acid).
Fire & Explosion HazardsDangerous when exposed to heat or flame. This product may give rise to hazardous fumes in a fire.
Protective measuresFire fighters should wear self contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
------
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES.
------
Personal precautionsWear appropriate protective clothing.
Environmental PrecautionsTry to prevent the material from entering drains or water courses. Advise authorities is spillage has entered water course or sewer or has contaminated soil or vegetation.
RecoveryTransfer into suitable containers for recovery or disposal. Avoid creating a dust.
------
7. STORAGE AND HANDLING (IN NORMAL USE).
------
StorageStorage area should be : cool, dry, under cover. Store in original containers.
HandlingAvoid breathing mist or vapour from heated material. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Keep container tightly closed when not in use..

Engineering control
Measures:Fumes from soldering process should not be breathed. Engineering methods to prevent or control exposure are preferred. Methods include process or personal enclosure, mechanical ventilation (dilution and local exhaust) and control of process conditions. Administrative controls and personal protective equipment may also be required.
Personal Protective Equipment
RespiratoryRespiratory protection if there is a risk of breathing mists or vapours from heated material..
HandButyl rubber gloves, Nitrile rubber gloves, PVC gloves, Neoprene gloves. Leather, thick textile or other thermal gloves. If handling hot material
EyeChemical goggles if there is a risk of splashing. Face shield when handling hot product.
BodyNormal work wear.
OtherObserve normal standards of industrial hygiene.
