First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.

Skin contact

Wash with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical attention if irritation develops.

Symptoms: irritated skin

Eye contact

Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation occurs.

Ingestion

Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.

Immediate Medical Attention

Get medical attention if irritation occurs (eyes); Get medical attention if irritation develops (skin); Get medical attention (inhalation); Call a physician immediately (large ingestion).

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty containers pose a fire risk, evaporate the residue under a fume hood. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not breathe gas/fumes/ vapor/spray. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, alkalis.

Storage

Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Do not store above 8°C (46.4°F). Refrigerate.

Fire prevention

Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty containers pose a fire risk, evaporate the residue under a fume hood.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their respective threshold limit value.

Hands

Gloves (impervious).

Eyes

Splash goggles.

Respiratory

Vapor respirator. In case of a large spill: A self contained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product.

Skin/Body

Synthetic apron or lab coat. In case of a large spill: Full suit. Boots.
