HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION AND PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

TOXICOLOGY

Repeated inhalation of aerosols or enzyme dust resulting from inappropriate handling may induce sensitisation and may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Skin contact may cause an irritation. The preparation is non-toxic and ingestion of small quantities is not considered a hazard, but see next item.

FIRST AID MEASURES
Skin Contact:	Wash skin with plenty of water.
Eye Contact:	Rinse eyes with plenty of water.

	irritation occur, seek medical advice.
Inhalation:	Remove from exposure. If symptoms of irritation or sensitisation
	occur (shortness of breath, wheezing or laboured coughing), seek
	medical advice.

FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Protection against Fire and Explosions:	No special requirements
Suitable Fire Extinguish Media:	Water, foam, CO2
Non Suitable Media:	None
Special Exposure Hazards:	None
Flash point, Flammable limits and Auto Ignition Temperature:	Not applicable.
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Spilled preparation should be removed immediately. Avoid formation of aerosols. Take up by mechanical means preferably by a vacuum cleaner. Dispose of recovered liquid as per “Disposal Considerations” below. Wash machines thoroughly with plenty of water. Flush remainder carefully to drain using copious amounts of water. Avoid splashing and high pressure washing to avoid formation of aerosols. Ensure sufficient ventilation.
