No specific data is available for the product for chronic exposure symptoms. The ingredients are not listed as carcinogenic in Worksafe’s document "Exposure Standards for Atmospheric Contaminants in the Occupational Environment" (May 1995).

This product is virtually non-toxic by normal routes of exposure. There is no data to suggest that chronic exposure has any adverse health effects in the way of carcinogenicity, mutagenicity or reproductive effects. However, as with many products of organic origin, it is possible that this product may contain pathogenic micro organisms.
Swallowed: Data suggests that this product should present no significant problems to typical persons if used as intended.
Eye: This product is mildly irritating to the eyes. It is likely to cause mild discomfort such as watering and redness of the eyes. However, this should quickly disappear once exposure is over.
Skin: Data suggests that this product should present no significant problems to typical persons if used as intended.
Inhalation: Data suggests that this product should present no significant problems to typical persons if used as intended.

A time weighted average (TWA) concentration for an 8 hour day, and 5 day week has not been established by Worksafe Australia for any 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 nature of this product makes it unlikely that this level will be approached in normal use.

In industrial situations, concentration values below the TWA value should be maintained. Values may be reduced by process modification, use of local exhaust ventilation, capturing substances at the source, or other methods. If you believe air borne concentrations of mists, dusts or vapours are high, you are advised to modify the process or environment to reduce the problem.

Respiratory Protection: It is usually safe to not use a dust mask or respirator protection on account of this product. However, if the product is being used in dusty or confined conditions, use of a mask or respirator may be preferred. For help in selecting suitable equipment, consult AS/NZS 1715.
Protective Gloves: Protective gloves are not normally necessary when using this product. However, it is always prudent to wear gloves. For help in selecting suitable equipment, consult AS 2161.
Eye Protection: Protective eyewear is suggested when using this product. It is always prudent to use protective eyewear. Consult AS1336 and AS/NZS 1337 for advice on Industrial Eye Protection.
Clothing: This product is essentially safe to use without special protective clothing. However, its use is recommended as a good industrial practice. Consult AS2919 for advice on Industrial Clothing.
Safety Boots: Wearing safety boots in industrial situations is advisory. Consult AS/NZS2210 for advice on Occupational Protective Footwear.
Always wash hands before smoking, eating or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storing or re-using.
