First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention. Immediately administer a corticosteroid from a controlled/metered dose inhaler.
Immediately wash thoroughly with plenty of water, apply sterile dressings, consult a skin specialist.
Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open, consult an eye specialist.
Immediately rinse mouth and then drink 200-300 ml of water, seek medical attention.

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Suitable chemical resistant safety gloves (EN ISO 374-1) also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN ISO 374-1): E.g. nitrile rubber (0.4 mm), chloroprene rubber (0.5 mm), butyl rubber (0.7 mm) etc. Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types. Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.
Tightly fitting safety goggles (splash goggles) (e.g. EN 166)
Wear respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate. Gas filter for gases/vapours of organic compounds (boiling point >65 ℃, e. g. EN 14387 Type A)
Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. apron, protecting boots, chemical-protection suit (according to EN 14605 in case of splashes or EN ISO 13982 in case of dust).
