First Aid Measures:
a)Ingestion: Give water to the victim if he/she is conscious. Do not give liquids to an unconscious victim. Get immediate medical attention.
b)Inhalation: Remove the victim to fresh air at once.
c)Skin: Wash with soap and water. Use plenty of water to wash.
d)Eyes: Flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes keeping the eye lids open. Get medical attention at the earliest.
Disposal: Dispose in accordance with local governmental regulations.

LIQUID ALUMINIUM SULPHATE

Aluminium sulphate Liquid (Liquid Alum) is considered as hazardous cargo in shipping.

Chemical formula: Al2(SO4)3
UN No. : 3264
Hazard Class: 8
Appearance: Colourless viscous liquid
Stability: Stable under normal temperatures and pressures. On contact with moisture it is readily hydrolysed to sulphuric acid. Corrosive to metals.
Storage and Handling: Store in a dry ventilated place away from moisture and incompatible materials. It is better to use gloves and goggles while handling the commodity. Always wash hands with soap and plenty of water before eating, smoking or using toilets.
Warning: Ingestion of large amounts may result in serious injury. If swallowed may lead to oral and gastrointestinal irritation and local tissue damage. Nausea, vomiting and gastrointestinal bleeding may follow. Inhalation of dust may cause irritation to the respiratory tract due to sulphuric acid formed by moist tissues. Symptoms may include coughing and shortness of breath.
Accidental Release Measures: In case of leakage or spills, dry sand may be used as absorbent and the residue may be removed to storage containers for disposal.
First Aid Measures:
a)Ingestion: Give water to the victim if he/she is conscious. Do not give liquids to an unconscious victim. Get immediate medical attention.
b)Inhalation: Remove the victim to fresh air at once.
c)Skin: Wash with soap and water. Use plenty of water to wash.
d)Eyes: Flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes keeping the eye lids open. Get medical attention at the earliest.

SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE 10-12%

Sodium hypo Chlorite is considered as a hazardous cargo in shipping.

Chemical formula: NaOCl
CAS No. : 7681-52-9
UN No. : 1791
Hazard Class: 8
Appearance: Pale yellowish watery liquid with strong Chlorine smell.
Stability: Unstable Solution. Exposure to heat and direct sunlight as well as contamination with acids, contact with heavy metals (nickel, cobalt and iron), ammonia, ether, organic and inorganic chemicals may result in decomposition
Storage and Handling: Keep away direct sunlight and heat. Store in cool ventilated warehouse. Metal surfaces that may get in contact should be coated with epoxy or chemical resistant coatings. Handle with care without haste wearing gloves, masks and goggles. Use protective clothing and take care to avoid splashing on to other materials and fabric as Sodium hypo Chlorite is a strong bleach. Always wash hands with soap and plenty of water before eating, smoking or using toilets.
Warning: Ingestion of Sodium hypo Chlorite may cause irritation in mouth and throat, stomach pain and ulcer. Inhalation of Sodium hypo Chlorite may cause irritation to the respiratory tract.
Accidental Release Measures: In case of spills or leaks, ventilate the area. If the spills or leaks are tremendous evacuate unprotected personnel from the area. Neutralize with Sodium Sulfite, bisulfite or thiosulphite. Remove to storage vessels with vacuum pumps. Sand , clay or suitable material may be put on the residue as absorbent. Soaked up residue with the absorbent may be stored in container for disposal. Flush the area with plenty of water to completely remove the traces.
First Aid Measures:
a)Ingestion: Give water or large quantities of milk to the victim if he/she is conscious. Do not give vinegar, baking soda or acidic antidotes. Do not give liquids to an unconscious victim. Get immediate medical attention.
b)Inhalation: Remove the victim to fresh air at once.
c)Skin: Wash with soap and water. Use plenty of water to wash.
d)Eyes: Flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes keeping the eye lids open. Get medical attention at the earliest. Wearing of contact lenses should be avoided while handling this chemical.
Disposal: Dispose in accordance with local governmental regulations. Do not neutralize with sulphates or bisulphates. Use only weak reducing agents such as Sodium sulfite, bisulfite or thiosulfite.
