Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
If respiratory irritation or distress occurs, remove victim to fresh air. Seek medical attention if irritation persists. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-3 glasses of water to drink. If conscious, do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention. Do not leave victim unattended. To prevent aspiration of swallowed product, lay victim on side with head lower than waist.
Symptoms:
May cause irritation, along with coughing. Overdose symptoms may include numbness or tingling in hands or feet, uneven heart rate, paralysis, feeling faint, chest pain or heavy feeling, pain spreading to the arm or shoulder, nausea, diarrhea, sweating, general ill feeling, or seizure (convulsions).
🖐️ Skin Contact
In case of contact, wash with plenty of soap and water. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Symptoms:
May cause skin irritation.
👁️ Eye Contact
Irrigate eyes with water and repeat until pain free. Seek medical attention if irritation develops, or if vision changes occur.
Symptoms:
May cause irritation.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-3 glasses of water to drink. If conscious, do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention.
Symptoms:
May cause irritation. Symptoms include nausea, diarrhea, sweating, general ill feeling.
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
Seek immediate medical attention.

😷 Respiratory Protection
If exposure limits are exceeded or irritation is experienced, NIOSH approved respiratory protection should be worn. Use P100 respirators for limited exposure, use air-purifying respirator (APR) with high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters for prolonged exposure. Positive-pressure supplied air respirators may be required for high airborne contaminant concentrations. Respiratory protection must be provided in accordance with current safety and health requirements. The need for respiratory protection is not likely for short-term use in well ventilated areas.
