Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
Remove to fresh air. Keep victim warm and quiet. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If symptoms persist, call a doctor.
Symptoms:
May cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract. Excessive inhalation of high concentrations may cause nausea, vomiting, headache, and dizziness.
🖐️ Skin Contact
Immediately flush skin with water and rinse skin with soap and water for at least 5-10 minutes. Use lukewarm water if possible. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if redness does not disappear.
Symptoms:
Causes redness and swelling of the skin. Repeated contact with the skin may cause it to become dry and cracked. MAY CAUSE ALLERGIC SKIN REACTION.
👁️ Eye Contact
Immediately flush eyes, also under eyelids, with water for at least 5-10 minutes. Use lukewarm water if possible. Get medical attention.
Symptoms:
May cause mild redness of the eye.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
Rinse mouth then drink plenty of water. Seek immediate medical attention/advice.
Symptoms:
May cause irritation of the mouth, throat, esophagus, and stomach including severe pain. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness or drowsiness, and headache may as well occur.
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
Seek immediate medical attention/advice. Get medical attention if redness does not disappear. Get medical attention. Treat symptomatically.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
Comply with 2014/34/EU concerning equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and, Directive 1999/92/EC regarding minimum requirements for improving the safety and health protection of workers potentially at risk from explosive atmospheres.
🧤 Hand Protection
Wear protective gloves. Ensure that the breakthrough time of the glove material is not exceeded. Refer to glove supplier for information on breakthrough time for specific gloves. Gloves: Duration of contact material Glove thickness Break through time Remarks Suitable materials short-term contact and/or splashes (protective index 2, corresponding - 30 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374): Butyl rubber => 0.7 mm >30 min; Suitable materials short-term contact and/or splashes (protective index 2, corresponding - 30 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374): Nitrile rubber, NBR => 0.4 mm >30 min; Suitable materials short-term contact and/or splashes (protective index 2, corresponding - 30 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374): Chloroprene rubber, CR => 0.5 mm - 30 min
👁️ Eye Protection
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
😷 Respiratory Protection
Suitable respiratory protection for lower concentrations or short-term exposure: Gas filter for gases/vapours of organic compounds (boiling point >65C, e. g. Type A) Suitable respiratory protection for higher concentrations or long-term exposure: Self-contained breathing apparatus.
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. apron, chemical resistant boots, chemical-protection suit.
