General Advice: Move person away from exposure and into fresh air. Seek medical advice right away if symptoms persist.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air, provide oxygen for breathing difficulty, get medical attention if symptoms remain.
Skin Contact: Wash with plenty of water and mild soap for at least 15 minutes, remove contaminated clothing, seek medical care for persistent irritation.
Eye Contact: Rinse with water for a minimum of 15 minutes, ensure eyelids are held open, consult physician if redness or pain continues.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, do not induce vomiting, give water if conscious, never give liquids to unconscious individual, call poison control.
Most Important Symptoms: Burning sensation, cough, headache, skin or eye redness, respiratory discomfort
Notes for Physician: Treatment mostly supportive, symptom-driven care, observe for delayed respiratory effects
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, use water spray for cooling containers
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Straight water stream
Specific Hazards: Vapor can form explosive mixtures with air, containers may rupture from overpressure or intense heat, combustion yields hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective clothing
Firefighting Procedures: Evacuate area, fight fire from upwind, stay clear of hazard zone, cool containers exposed to flames, avoid inhalation of smoke or fumes
Special Hazards: Toxic gases may be released in fire, runoff can cause environmental harm
Explosion Data: Vapors may travel to ignition source and flash back
Personal Precautions: Remove unprotected personnel from area, provide adequate ventilation, use personal protective equipment including gloves, goggles, protective clothing, do not breathe vapor
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, soil, or waterways, notify authorities in case of environmental release
Cleanup Procedures: Contain and collect spillage with inert absorbent (sand, earth, vermiculite), place into suitable closed containers for disposal, wash spill site after material pickup
Additional Advice: Remove ignition sources, ventilate area, wear respiratory protection if needed, avoid contamination with incompatible substances
Handling: Use only in closed systems and well-ventilated areas, ground all containers during transfer, avoid inhalation, contact with skin, eyes, and clothing, keep away from heat, sources of ignition, sparks, do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling chemical
Hygiene Measures: Wash thoroughly after handling, take off contaminated clothing, store personal protective equipment separately
Storage: Store in cool, dry, tightly closed container, segregate from oxidizing agents, acids, strong bases, store in flammable-liquids cabinet, maintain temperature between 2-8°C
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, bases, aluminum, alkali metals
Special Requirements: Keep away from direct sunlight, ensure secondary containment to manage leaks or spills
Workplace Control Parameters: No specific occupational exposure limits established for 1-chlorooctane
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene), safety glasses with side shields or goggles, protective clothing, if ventilation poor wear organic vapor respirator
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, fume hood, maintain minimal vapor concentration
