First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. If unconscious but breathing normally, place in recovery position and seek medical advice. No mouth-to-mouth or mouth-to-nose resuscitation. Use Ambu bag or ventilator.

Skin contact

Remove contaminated, saturated clothing immediately. After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. In case of skin irritation, consult a physician. Immediate medical treatment required because corrosive injuries that are not treated are hard to cure.

Eye contact

Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. In case of contact with eyes flush immediately with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes holding eyelids apart and consult an ophthalmologist.

Symptoms: Eye irritation

Ingestion

Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person or a person with cramps. IF SWALLOWED: rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting.

Immediate Medical Attention

Immediate medical treatment required because corrosive injuries that are not treated are hard to cure.

Medical Treatment

Treat symptomatically.
