Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration Consult a physician.
🖐️ Skin Contact
Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a physician.
👁️ Eye Contact
Flush eyes with water as a precaution.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with water. Consult a physician.
Fire Fighting Measures & Emergency Response
Fire suppression methods, extinguishing media, and firefighting safety procedures
✅ Suitable Extinguishing Media
For small (incipient) fires, use media such as "alcohol" foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. For large fires, apply water from as far as possible. Use very large quantities (flooding) of water applied as a mist or spray; solid streams of water may be ineffective. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water.
🛡️ Firefighter Protection Equipment
Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary.
