· If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
· If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down
position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
· Observe the patient carefully.
· Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced
awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious.
· Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as
casualty can comfortably drink.
· Seek medical advice.
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
· Wash out immediately with fresh running water.
· Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from
eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
· If pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
· Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by
skilled personnel.
If skin contact occurs:
· Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear
· 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.
· 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.
Treat symptomatically. for simple esters: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- BASIC TREATMENT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- · Establish a patent airway with suction where necessary. · Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilation as necessary. · Administer oxygen by non-rebreather mask at 10 to 15 l/min. · Monitor and treat, where necessary, for pulmonary oedema . · Monitor and treat, where necessary, for shock. · DO NOT use emetics. Where ingestion is suspected rinse mouth and give up to 200 ml water (5 ml/kg recommended) for dilution where patient is able to swallow, has a strong gag reflex and does not drool. · Give activated charcoal. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- ADVANCED TREATMENT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- · Consider orotracheal or nasotracheal intubation for airway control in unconscious patient or where respiratory arrest has occurred. · Positive-pressure ventilation using a bag-valve mask might be of use. · Monitor and treat, where necessary, for arrhythmias. · Start an IV D5W TKO. If signs of hypovolaemia are present use lactated Ringers solution. Fluid overload might create complications. · Drug therapy should be considered for pulmonary oedema. · Hypotension with signs of hypovolaemia requires the cautious administration of fluids. Fluid overload might create complications. · Treat seizures with diazepam. · Proparacaine hydrochloride should be used to assist eye irrigation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- · Laboratory analysis of complete blood count, serum electrolytes, BUN, creatinine, glucose, urinalysis, baseline for serum aminotransferases (ALT and AST), calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, may assist in establishing a treatment regime. Other useful analyses include anion and osmolar gaps, arterial blood gases (ABGs), chest radiographs and electrocardiograph. · Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)-assisted ventilation may be required for acute parenchymal injury or adult respiratory distress syndrome. · Consult a toxicologist as necessary.

From IERG (Canada/Australia) Isolation Distance 25 metres Downwind Protection Distance 300 metres IERG Number 14
FOOTNOTES 1 PROTECTIVE ACTION ZONE is defined as the area in which people are at risk of harmful exposure. This zone assumes that random changes in wind direction confines the vapour plume to an area within 30 degrees on either side of the predominant wind direction, resulting in a crosswind protective action distance equal to the downwind protective action distance. 2 PROTECTIVE ACTIONS should be initiated to the extent possible, beginning with those closest to the spill and working away from the site in the downwind direction. Within the protective action zone a level of vapour concentration may exist resulting in nearly all unprotected persons becoming incapacitated and unable to take protective action and/or incurring serious or irreversible health effects. 3 INITIAL ISOLATION ZONE is determined as an area, including upwind of the incident, within which a high probability of localised wind reversal may expose nearly all persons without appropriate protection to life-threatening concentrations of the material. 4 SMALL SPILLS involve a leaking package of 200 litres (55 US gallons) or less, such as a drum (jerrican or box with inner containers). Larger packages leaking less than 200 litres and compressed gas leaking from a small cylinder are also considered "small spills". LARGE SPILLS involve many small leaking packages or a leaking package of greater than 200 litres, such as a cargo tank, portable tank or a "one-tonne" compressed gas cylinder. 5 Guide 127 is taken from the US DOT emergency response guide book. 6 IERG information is derived from CANUTEC - Transport Canada.
The maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed that nearly all
individuals could be exposed for up to one hour WITHOUT experiencing or developing
life-threatening health effects is:
n-butyl acetate 3000 ppm
irreversible or other serious effects or symptoms which could
impair an individual's ability to take protective action is:
n-butyl acetate 200 ppm
other than mild, transient adverse effects
without perceiving a clearly defined odour is:
n-butyl acetate 5 ppm

OSF=51 (ETHYL ACETATE)
Exposed individuals are reasonably expected to be warned, by smell, that the
Exposure Standard is being exceeded.
Odour Safety Factor (OSF) is determined to fall into either Class A or B.
The Odour Safety Factor (OSF) is defined as:
OSF= Exposure Standard (TWA) ppm/ Odour Threshold Value (OTV) ppm
Classification into classes follows:
Class OSF Description
A 550 Over 90% of exposed
individuals are aware by
smell that the Exposure
Standard (TLV-TWA for
example) is being
reached, even when
distracted by working
activities
B 26-550 As "A" for 50-90% of
persons being distracted
C 1-26 As "A" for less than 50%
of persons being
distracted
D 0.18-1 10-50% of persons aware
of being tested perceive
by smell that the
Exposure Standard is
being reached
E <0.18 As "D" for less than 10%
of persons aware of being
tested

ETHYL ACETATE: TLV TWA: 400 ppm [ACGIH] PEL TWA: 400 ppm, 1400 mg/m³ (SKIN) [OSHA Z1] ES TWA: 200 ppm; STEL 400 ppm TLV TWA: 400 ppm, 1440 mg/m³ OES TWA: 400 ppm, 1460 mg/m³ MAK value: 400 ppm, 1500 mg/m³ MAK Category I Peak Limitation: For local irritants Allows excursions of twice the MAK value for 5 minutes at a time, 8 times per shift. MAK Group C: There is no reason to fear risk of damage to the developing embryo when MAK and BAT values are observed. MAK values, and categories and groups are those recommended within the Federal Republic of Germany IDLH Level: 2000 ppm (lower explosive limit) Odour Threshold Value: 6.4-50 ppm (detection), 13.3-75 ppm (recognition) The TLV-TWA provides a significant margin of safety from the standpoint of adverse health effects. Unacclimated subjects found the odour objectionably strong at 200 ppm. Mild nose, eye and throat irritation was experienced at 400 ppm. Workers exposed regularly at concentrations ranging from 375 ppm to 1500 ppm for several months showed no unusual signs or symptoms. N-BUTYL ACETATE: TLV TWA: 150 ppm [ACGIH] TLV STEL: 200 ppm [ACGIH] PEL TWA: 150 ppm, 710 mg/m³ [OSHA Z1] TLV TWA: 150 ppm, 713 mg/m³; STEL: 200 ppm, 950 mg/m³ ES TWA: 150 ppm, 713 mg/m³; STEL: 200 ppm, 950 mg/m³ OES TWA: 150 ppm, 724 mg/m³; STEL: 200 ppm, 966 mg/m³ MAK value: 100 ppm, 480 mg/m³ MAK Category I Peak Limitation: For local irritants Allows excursions of twice the MAK value for 5 minutes at a time, 8 times per shift. MAK values, and categories and groups are those recommended within the Federal Republic of Germany Odour Threshold Value: 0.0063 ppm (detection), 0.038-12 ppm (recognition) IDLH Level: 1700 ppm (lower explosive limit) Exposure at or below the recommended TLV-TWA is thought to prevent significant irritation of the eyes and respiratory passages as well as narcotic effects. In light of the lack of substantive evidence regarding teratogenicity and a review of acute oral data a STEL is considered inappropriate.

The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification
systems as "harmful by ingestion". This is because of the lack of corroborating
animal or human evidence. The material may still be damaging to the health of
the individual, following ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (e.g
liver, kidney) damage is evident. Present definitions of harmful or toxic
substances are generally based on doses producing mortality rather than those
producing morbidity (disease, ill-health). Gastrointestinal tract discomfort may
produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational setting however, ingestion of
insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for concern.
The liquid produces a high level of eye discomfort and is capable of causing
pain and severe conjunctivitis. Corneal injury may develop, with possible
permanent impairment of vision, if not promptly and adequately treated.
The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced
inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce
conjunctivitis.
Repeated exposure may cause skin cracking, flaking or drying following normal
handling and use.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and
may produce a contact dermatitis (nonallergic). This form of dermatitis is often
characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling the epidermis.
Histologically there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer
(spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the epidermis.
Inhalation of vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. This may be
accompanied by narcosis, drowsiness, reduced alertness, loss of reflexes, lack
of coordination and vertigo.
Prolonged exposure may cause headache, nausea and ultimately loss of
consciousness.
Acute effects from inhalation of high concentrations of vapour are pulmonary
irritation, including coughing, with nausea; central nervous system depression -
characterised by headache and dizziness, increased reaction time, fatigue and
loss of co-ordination
Prolonged or continuous skin contact with the liquid may cause defatting with drying,
cracking, irritation and dermatitis following. As with any chemical product, contact with
unprotected bare skin; inhalation of vapour, mist or dust in work place atmosphere; or
ingestion in any form, should be avoided by observing good occupational work practice.
