impervious gloves and safety goggles. All skin should be covered. Thoroughly launder protective clothing
before storage or re-use. Stop leak if safe to do so, and contain spill. Sweep up and shovel or collect
recoverable product into labelled containers for recycling or salvage, and dispose of promptly. If a

measures, and make sure that those measures are followed. The measures detailed below under
"Storage" should be followed during handling in order to minimise risks to persons using the product in the
workplace. Also, avoid contact or contamination of product with incompatible materials listed in Section 10.
Storage: Keep away from extreme heat and open flames in a well ventilated, dry space. Make sure that
the product does not come into contact with substances listed under "Incompatibilities" in Section 10.
Check packaging - there may be further storage instructions on the label.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
Exposure Limits:
TWA (mg/m3) STEL (mg/m3) ADI (mg/Kg/day) NOEL (mg/Kg/day)
Exposure limits have not been set for any of the ingredients in this product. The exposure value at the TWA is the average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal 8 hour working day for a 5 day working week. A TWA has not been established by Worksafe Australia for any other of the major ingredients in this product. There is a blanket limit of 10mg/m3 for dusts or mists when limits have not otherwise been established. The STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) is an exposure value that should not be exceeded for more than 15 minutes and should not be repeated for more than 4 times per day. There should be at least 60 minutes between successive exposures at the STEL. The nature of this product makes it unlikely that this level will be approached in normal use. ADI means Acceptable Daily Intake and NOEL means No-observable-effect-level. Values taken from Australian ADI List, Dec 2003. SAFETY DATA SHEET

Section 13 - Disposal Considerations
Disposal: There are many pieces of legislation covering waste disposal and they differ in each state and
territory, so each user must refer to laws operating in their area. In some areas, certain wastes must be
tracked. The Hierarchy of Controls seems to be common - the user should investigate: Reduce, Reuse,
and Recycle and only if all else fails should disposal be considered. Special help is available for the
disposal of Agricultural Chemicals. The product label will give general advice regarding disposal of small
quantities, and how to cleanse containers. However, for help with the collection of unwanted rural
chemicals, contact ChemClear 1800 008 182 http://www.chemclear.com.au/ and for help with the disposal
of empty drums, contact DrumMuster http://www.drummuster.com.au/
