First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove casualty from area of exposure. If unconscious, do not give anything to drink, give artificial ventilation and chest compression or place in the recovery position as necessary. If conscious make the casualty lie or sit down quietly, give oxygen if available.
Remove contaminated clothing immediately, drench the affected area with running water for 10 minutes.
Wash eye with flowing water for 10 minutes.
Do not make the casualty vomit. Treat unconscious casualty as for inhalation but if conscious give water to drink immediately.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use dry powders such as MET-L-X, G1, Dry Soda Ash, or sand.
Do not use water, CO2, or any foams.
Burning and molten magnesium will react violently with water producing hydrogen gas.
Fire should be smothered by powders approved for use with magnesium.
Firefighter Protection
Wear protective self containing breathing apparatus and protective fire fighting clothes.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Collect and reuse.
