Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Rest. Refer for medical attention .
Harmful if inhaled. May be harmful if swallowed or absorbed through the skin. Vapor or mist is irritating to the eyes, mucous membrane and upper respiratory tract. (USCG, 1999)
Benzyl acetate was absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract of rats and mice, with approximately 90% of the administered dose recovered as various metabolites in the urine within 24 hr. ... This capacity for absorption, metabolism, and disposition was unaffected by the amount or number of doses administered.
Alcohol foam, carbon dioxide.
This chemical is combustible. (NTP, 1992)
Use water spray, powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide.
Ventilation. Cover the spilled material with earth or sand. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in covered containers as far as possible. Wash away remainder with plenty of water.
Ventilation. Cover the spilled material with earth or sand. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in covered containers as far as possible. Wash away remainder with plenty of water.
Collect and arrange disposal. Keep the chemical in suitable and closed containers for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Adhered or collected material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations.
NO open flames. Above 90°C use a closed system and ventilation. Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.
Separated from strong oxidants. Ventilation along the floor.
TLV: 10 ppm as TWA; A4 (not classifiable as a human carcinogen)

Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.
Wear safety spectacles.
Protective gloves.
Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection.

Decomposes on burning. This produces irritating fumes. Reacts with strong oxidants. This generates fire and explosion hazard.

Combustible liquid.BENZYL ACETATE is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. This chemical is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. It is also incompatible with acids, bases and reducing agents. (NTP, 1992)

STABILITY: This chemical may be sensitive to light. Solutions of this chemical in water, DMSO, 95% ethanol or acetone should be stable for 24 hours under normal lab conditions.REACTIVITY: This chemical is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. It is also incompatible with acids, bases and reducing agents. (NTP, 1992)
When heated to decomposition it emits irritating fumes.

Evaluation: No epidemiological data relevant to the carcinogenicity of benzyl acetate were available. There is limited evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of benzyl acetate. Overall evaluation: Benzyl acetate is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity in humans (Group 3).

The vapour is irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. Exposure far above the OEL could cause unconsciousness.
The substance defats the skin, which may cause dryness or cracking. The substance may have effects on the kidneys.
A harmful contamination of the air will be reached rather slowly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster.
Benzyl acetate reached 92 to 96% of its theoretical BOD over a period of 4 weeks using an activated sludge seed and an initial chemical concentration of 100 mg/l(1).
An estimated BCF of 18 was calculated for benzyl acetate(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.96(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
The Koc of benzyl acetate is estimated as approximately 180(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.96(1) and a regression-derived equation(2,SRC). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that benzyl acetate is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC).

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
