First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Do not leave the victim unattended. If unconscious, place in recovery position and seek medical advice. If symptoms persist, call a physician.

Skin contact

Wash off with soap and water. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.

Symptoms: irritation develops and persists

Eye contact

Remove contact lenses. Protect unharmed eye. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.

Symptoms: eye irritation persists

Ingestion

Keep respiratory tract clear. Do not give milk or alcoholic beverages. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If symptoms persist, call a physician. Do not induce vomiting without medical advice.

Symptoms: If symptoms persist

Immediate Medical Attention

Seek medical advice if unconscious or if symptoms persist. Get medical attention if skin irritation develops and persists. Consult a specialist if eye irritation persists. Call a physician if ingestion symptoms persist.

Engineering

General and local exhaust ventilation is recommended to maintain vapor exposures below recommended limits.

Safety glasses

Respiratory

General and local exhaust ventilation is recommended to maintain vapor exposures below recommended limits. Where concentrations are above recommended limits or are unknown, appropriate respiratory protection should be worn. Follow OSHA respirator regulations (29 CFR 1910.134) and use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirators. Protection provided by air purifying respirators against exposure to any hazardous chemical is limited. Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if there is any potential for uncontrolled release, exposure levels are unknown, or any other circumstance where air purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
