Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
Inhalation Exposure
Remove victim to fresh air. Get medical attention if irritation persists. If breathing is difficult have qualified individual administer oxygen and get immediate medical attention. If breathing stops, give artificial respiration and get immediate medical attention.
Symptoms:
May cause respiratory irritation.
Skin Contact
Immediately flush with water while removing contaminated clothing. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Launder clothing before reuse.
Symptoms:
Causes severe skin irritation; and burns.
Eye Contact

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
Engineering Controls
Use with adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to maintain exposure levels below the occupational exposure limits.
Hand Protection
Impervious gloves recommended (butyl or nitrile rubber).
Eye Protection
Wear chemical goggles. A face shield is recommended if splashing is possible.
Respiratory Protection
None needed with adequate ventilation. If the occupational exposure limit is exceeded, use an acid gas respirator. Selection of respiratory protection depends on the contaminant type, form and concentration. Select in accordance with OSHA 1910.134 or other applicable regulations and good Industrial Hygiene practice.
Skin/Body Protection
Impervious clothing as needed to avoid skin contact.
