3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

**EMERGENCY OVERVIEW**

WARNING
Harmful if swallowed. Contains Sulfite. Causes asthmatic signs and symptoms in hyper-reactive individuals.
Irritating to respiratory system. May cause cancer by inhalation. Cobalt and cobalt compounds have been classified
as possible carcinogens to humans (Group 2B) by IARC. The ACGIH lists cobalt and inorganic compounds as an
animal carcinogen (A3). Contact with acids liberates toxic gas.
Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Do not take internally. Use with adequate ventilation. In case of contact with
eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. After contact with skin, wash immediately with
plenty of water. Use a mild soap if available. Protect product from freezing.
Wear suitable protective clothing.
Not flammable or combustible. May evolve oxides of sulfur (SOx) under fire conditions.

HUMAN HEALTH HAZARDS - ACUTE :

EYE CONTACT :
May cause irritation with prolonged contact.

SKIN CONTACT :
May cause irritation with prolonged contact.

INGESTION :
Harmful if swallowed. Contains Sulfite. May cause asthmatic-like attack.

INHALATION :
Irritant to respiratory system. Causes asthmatic signs and symptoms in hyper-reactive individuals. May cause cancer
by inhalation.

AGGRAVATION OF EXISTING CONDITIONS :

A review of available data does not identify any worsening of existing conditions.

HUMAN HEALTH HAZARDS - CHRONIC :

This product contains cobalt compounds. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has evaluated
cobalt and cobalt compounds and found it to be a possible human carcinogen.
Ingestion of sulfite can cause a severe allergic reaction in asthmatics and some sulfite sensitive individuals. The
resulting symptoms can include difficulty in breathing, flushed skin and a rash. Chronic exposure to sulfites may cause
symptoms of upper respiratory disease and affect sense of taste and smell.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES

EYE CONTACT :
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If symptoms develop, seek medical advice.

SKIN CONTACT :
Flush with large amounts of water. Use soap if available. If symptoms develop, seek medical advice.

INGESTION :
Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. If conscious, washout mouth and give water to drink. Get medical
attention.

INHALATION :
Remove to fresh air, treat symptomatically. Get medical attention.

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN :
Based on the individual reactions of the patient, the physician's judgement should be used to control symptoms and
clinical condition.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA :
Not expected to burn. Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire. Keep containers cool by spraying
with water.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD :

Not flammable or combustible. May evolve oxides of sulfur (SOx) under fire conditions.

SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE FIGHTING :

In case of fire, wear a full face positive-pressure self contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS :
Restrict access to area as appropriate until clean-up operations are complete. Use personal protective equipment
recommended in Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection). Stop or reduce any leaks if it is safe to do so.
Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Ventilate spill area if possible. Ensure clean-up is conducted by
trained personnel only. Do not touch spilled material. Have emergency equipment (for fires, spills, leaks, etc.) readily
available. Notify appropriate government, occupational health and safety and environmental authorities.

METHODS FOR CLEANING UP :

SMALL SPILLS: Soak up spill with absorbent material. Place residues in a suitable, covered, properly labeled
container. Wash affected area. LARGE SPILLS: Contain liquid using absorbent material, by digging trenches or by
diking. Reclaim into recovery or salvage drums or tank truck for proper disposal. Clean contaminated surfaces with
water or aqueous cleaning agents. Contact an approved waste hauler for disposal of contaminated recovered
material. Dispose of material in compliance with regulations indicated in Section 13 (Disposal Considerations).

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS :
Do not contaminate surface water.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

HANDLING :
Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Do not take internally. Use with adequate ventilation. Do not breathe
vapors/gases/dust. Keep the containers closed when not in use. Have emergency equipment (for fires, spills, leaks,
etc.) readily available. Ensure all containers are labeled.

STORAGE CONDITIONS :
Store the containers tightly closed. Store in suitable labeled containers. Store separately from acids. Store separately
from oxidizers. Amine and sulphite products should not be stored within close proximity or resulting vapors may form
visible airborne particles. Protect product from freezing.
