Emergency First Aid Measures

Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies

🫁 Inhalation Exposure

Move victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Keep victim warm and quiet.

Symptoms:

Dizziness. May have effects on the respiratory tract.

🖐️ Skin Contact

Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. In case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin with running water for at least 20 minutes.

Symptoms:

Redness.

👁️ Eye Contact

IMMEDIATELY flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Check for and remove any contact lenses.

Symptoms:

Contact with material may irritate or burn eyes.

🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing

Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Call a physician or Poison Control Center immediately. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If a person vomits place them in the recovery position so that vomit will not reenter the mouth and throat. Rinse mouth.

Symptoms:

Drowsiness.

🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required

If breathing has stopped, perform artificial respiration. Use first aid treatment according to the nature of the injury.

Medical Treatment

Treat symptomatically and supportively.
