SODIUM METABISULPHITE
of 2
FIRST AID:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. In case of
contact, immediately wash skin with soap and copious amounts of water. If inhaled remove operative to fresh
air. If not breathing give artificial respiration, if breathing is difficult seek medical attention.

In cases of ingestion – wash out mouth with water – DO NOT induce vomiting. If patient is conscious give
water to drink. If patient feels unwell seek medical attention.

N.B. Persons with allergies and/or asthma may exhibit hypersensitivities to Sulphates.
TREATMENT OF SPILLAGE:
Evacuate area – wear respirator, chemical safety goggles and chemical resistant gloves. Sweep up, place in
bag, hold for waste disposal. Avoid raising dust. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pick-up, and
wash thoroughly after handling.
DISPOSAL ARRANGEMENTS:
Small quantities – add to a large stirred excess of water, separate any insoluble liquids or solids. Adjust Ph to
neutral. Flush the aqueous solution down the drain with plenty of water.
FIRE ACTION:
Use extinguishing medium appropriate to surrounding fire conditions
Extinguisher Type:
CO2
Dry Chemical Powder
Alcohol
Polymer Foam
ASSESSED BY: Arran Lyne DATE: 20/11/11
OTHER COMMENTS: e.g. date of next assessment, monitoring requirements.
Potentially exposed employees require health surveillance.

SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE
of 2
FIRST AID:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes or skin with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes.

Ensure adequate flushing of the eyes by separating the eyelids with fingers.

If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, seek medical
attention.

Wash contaminated clothes before re-use.

Discard contaminated shoes.
TREATMENT OF SPILLAGE:
Evacuate area. Wear SCBA Rubber boots and heavy rubber gloves.
Contain the spill with sand, earth or a spill kit and place in closed containers.
Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pick-up.
DISPOSAL ARRANGEMENTS:
Dilute with 3% solution of Sulphuric Acid and gradually add a 50% excess of Aqueous Sodium Bisulphite.
Use a Certified Waste Carrier to remove any waste to a licensed facility.
FIRE ACTION:
Wear SCBA and protective clothing – unusual fire and explosions hazards – emits toxic fumes under fire
conditions.
Extinguisher Type:
Dry Chemical Powder
ASSESSED BY: Arran Lyne DATE: 20/11/11
OTHER COMMENTS: e.g. date of next assessment, monitoring requirements.
Reacts violently with Ammonium Salts, Aziridine, Methanol, and Phenylacetonitrile sometimes resulting in
explosions. Reacts with primary aliphatic amines to form explosively unstable N-chloramines. Reaction with
formic acid becomes explosive at 55° C.
