Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper Eye Contact and lower lids. Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention. Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel. Continued... Chemwatch: 17214 Page 3 of 11 Issue Date: 27/06/2017 Version No: 4.1.8.8 SODIUM IODATE Print Date: 06/07/2021 If skin contact occurs: Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear. Skin Contact Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available). Seek medical attention in event of irritation. 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. Inhalation Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Transport to hospital, or doctor, without delay. IF SWALLOWED, REFER FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION, WHERE POSSIBLE, WITHOUT DELAY. For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor. Urgent hospital treatment is likely to be needed. In the mean time, qualified first-aid personnel should treat the patient following observation and employing supportive measures as indicated by the patient's condition. If the services of a medical officer or medical doctor are readily available, the patient should be placed in his/her care and a copy of the SDS should be provided. Further action will be the responsibility of the medical specialist. If medical attention is not available on the worksite or surroundings send the patient to a hospital together with a copy of the SDS. Ingestion Where medical attention is not immediately available or where the patient is more than 15 minutes from a hospital or unless instructed otherwise: INDUCE vomiting with fingers down the back of the throat, ONLY IF CONSCIOUS. Lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration. NOTE: Wear a protective glove when inducing vomiting by mechanical means. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Treatment regime for bromates may act as a guide for iodate poisonings. Administer syrup of ipecac or gastric lavage with tap water or perhaps a 1% solution of sodium thiosulfate. Administer a demulcent and an analgesic like meperidine (Demerol). Avoid morphine. If readily available, the prompt use of haemodialysis or peritoneal lavage may serve to remove absorbed but unreacted iodate in significant amounts. Administer oxygen. If methaemoglobinaemia becomes severe a replacement transfusion with whole blood may become necessary. DO NOT attempt to correct methaemoglobinaemia with methylene blue as the dye may enhance the toxicity. Sodium thiosulfate solution (100 to 500 ml of 1%) by intravenous drip has been recommended by some authors. Correct dehydration by infusing intravenously a glucose solution (5% in water). Avoid electrolytes (except as above) unless acid-base imbalance or shock becomes severe. Supportive treatment of acute renal failure. [GOSSELIN et al, Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products, Fifth Edition] SECTION 5 Firefighting measures Extinguishing media FOR SMALL FIRE: USE FLOODING QUANTITIES OF WATER. DO NOT use dry chemical, CO2, foam or halogenated-type extinguishers. FOR LARGE FIRE Flood fire area with water from a protected position Special hazards arising from the substrate or mixture Avoid storage with reducing agents. Fire Incompatibility Avoid any contamination of this material as it is very reactive and any contamination is potentially hazardous Advice for firefighters Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. May be violently or explosively reactive. Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves. Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water course. Fire Fighting Fight fire from a safe distance, with adequate cover. Extinguishers should be used only by trained personnel. Use water delivered as a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent area. Avoid spraying water onto liquid pools. Will not burn but increases intensity of fire. Heating may cause expansion or decomposition leading to violent rupture of containers. Heat affected containers remain hazardous. Contact with combustibles such as wood, paper, oil or finely divided metal may produce spontaneous combustion or violent decomposition. Fire/Explosion Hazard May emit irritating, poisonous or corrosive fumes. Decomposition may produce toxic fumes of: hydrogen iodide metal oxides HAZCHEM 1Y SECTION 6 Accidental release measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures See section
