Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
Move to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
🖐️ Skin Contact
Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes.
👁️ Eye Contact
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do, remove contact lenses. Get medical attention.
Symptoms:
May irritate eyes.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Rinse mouth. If vomiting occurs, keep head low so that stomach content doesn't get into the lungs.
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell. Get medical attention if symptoms persist/occur.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.
🧤 Hand Protection
Material: Chemical resistant gloves
👁️ Eye Protection
Chemical goggles and face shield are recommended.
😷 Respiratory Protection
In case of inadequate ventilation use suitable respirator.
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Wear appropriate clothing to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact.
