Description of first aid measures General Advice If symptoms persist, call a physician. Eye Contact Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention. Skin Contact Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention. Ingestion Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Inhalation Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Obtain medical attention. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ ACRBP1595 Page 2 / 9 SAFETY DATA SHEET Cesium chloride dihydrate Revision Date 13-Nov-2014 ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Protection of First-aiders Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, take precautions to protect themselves and prevent spread of contamination. 4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed None reasonably foreseeable. 4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Notes to Physician Treat symptomatically. SECTION 5: FIREFIGHTING MEASURES 5.1. Extinguishing media Suitable Extinguishing Media Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons No information available. 5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture Non-combustible.

Exposure controls Engineering Measures Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Wherever possible, engineering control measures such as the isolation or enclosure of the process, the introduction of process or equipment changes to minimise release or contact, and the use of properly designed ventilation systems, should be adopted to control hazardous materials at source Personal protective equipment ______________________________________________________________________________________________ ACRBP1595 Page 4 / 9 SAFETY DATA SHEET Cesium chloride dihydrate Revision Date 13-Nov-2014 ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Eye Protection Goggles (European standard - EN 166) Hand Protection Protective gloves Glove material Breakthrough time Glove thickness EU standard Glove comments Natural rubber See manufacturers - EN 374 (minimum requirement) Nitrile rubber recommendations Neoprene PVC Skin and body protection Long sleeved clothing Inspect gloves before use. Please observe the instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time which are provided by the supplier of the gloves. (Refer to manufacturer/supplier for information) Ensure gloves are suitable for the task: Chemical compatability, Dexterity, Operational conditions, User susceptibility, e.g. sensitisation effects, also take into consideration the specific local conditions under which the product is used, such as the danger of cuts, abrasion. Remove gloves with care avoiding skin contamination. Respiratory Protection When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate certified respirators. To protect the wearer, respiratory protective equipment must be the correct
