Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. Get medical attention. If exposure to vapour, mists or fumes causes drowsiness, headache, blurred vision or irritation of the eyes, nose or throat, remove immediately to fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest. If any symptoms persist obtain medical advice.
Symptoms:
Can cause central nervous system (CNS) depression. May cause drowsiness or dizziness. If exposure to vapour, mists or fumes causes drowsiness, headache, blurred vision or irritation of the eyes, nose or throat. Solvent "sniffing" (abuse) or intentional overexposure to vapours can produce serious central nervous system effects, including unconsciousness, and possibly death. Vapour, mist or fume may irritate the nose, mouth and respiratory tract.
🖐️ Skin Contact
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Drench contaminated clothing with water before removing. This is necessary to avoid the risk of sparks from static electricity that could ignite contaminated clothing. Contaminated clothing is a fire hazard. Contaminated leather, particularly footwear, must be discarded. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse. Get medical attention.
Symptoms:
Causes skin irritation (acute). Prolonged or repeated contact can defat the skin and lead to irritation and/or dermatitis (delayed).
👁️ Eye Contact
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Eyelids should be held away from the eyeball to ensure thorough rinsing. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Get medical attention.
Symptoms:
No known significant effects or critical hazards (acute). Vapour, mist or fume may cause eye irritation. Exposure to vapour, mist or fume may cause stinging, redness and watering of the eyes (delayed).
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Aspiration hazard if swallowed. Can enter lungs and cause damage. Get medical attention immediately.
Symptoms:
Irritating to mouth, throat and stomach. Aspiration hazard if swallowed -- harmful or fatal if liquid is aspirated into lungs (acute). If swallowed, may irritate the mouth, throat and digestive system. If swallowed, may cause abdominal pain, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, dizziness and drowsiness (delayed).
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
Get medical attention (for eye, skin, inhalation). If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately (for ingestion). Aspiration hazard if swallowed. Can enter lungs and cause damage. Get medical attention immediately (for ingestion). Product can be aspirated on swallowing or following regurgitation of stomach contents, and can cause severe and potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis, which will require urgent treatment.
Medical Treatment
Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects. Product can be aspirated on swallowing or following regurgitation of stomach contents, and can cause severe and potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis, which will require urgent treatment. Gastric lavage should be undertaken only after endotracheal intubation.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the relevant airborne concentrations below their respective occupational exposure limits. All activities involving chemicals should be assessed for their risks to health, to ensure exposures are adequately controlled. Personal protective equipment should only be considered after other forms of control measures (e.g. engineering controls) have been suitably evaluated. Personal protective equipment should conform to appropriate standards, be suitable for use, be kept in good condition and properly maintained. Your supplier of personal protective equipment should be consulted for advice on selection and appropriate standards. For further information contact your national organisation for standards. The final choice of protective equipment will depend upon a risk assessment. It is important to ensure that all items of personal protective equipment are compatible.
🧤 Hand Protection
General Information: Because specific work environments and material handling practices vary, safety procedures should be developed for each intended application. The correct choice of protective gloves depends upon the chemicals being handled, and the conditions of work and use. Most gloves provide protection for only a limited time before they must be discarded and replaced (even the best chemically resistant gloves will break down after repeated chemical exposures). Gloves should be chosen in consultation with the supplier / manufacturer and taking account of a full assessment of the working conditions. Wear chemical resistant gloves. Do not re-use gloves. Protective gloves will deteriorate over time due to physical and chemical damage. Inspect and replace gloves on a regular basis. Protective gloves must give suitable protection against mechanical risks (i.e. abrasion, blade cut and puncture). The frequency of replacement will depend upon the circumstances of use.
👁️ Eye Protection
Chemical splash goggles.
😷 Respiratory Protection
If local exhaust ventilation or other methods of ventilation are not possible or are insufficient, wear suitable respiratory protective devices. Wear suitable respiratory protective devices if there is a risk of exposure limits being exceeded. The choice of suitable respiratory device will depend upon a risk assessment of the workplace environment and the task being carried out. If required, the respiratory device must be certified as safe in defined explosive atmospheres (EX Label). Respiratory protective devices must be checked to ensure they fit correctly each time they are worn. Please consult European standard EN 529 for further guidance on the selection, use, care and maintenance of respiratory protective devices. Suitable breathing apparatus (independent of ambient atmosphere) must be worn if any of the following situations apply. - When the workplace atmosphere is considered to be immediately dangerous to life and health. - When there is a risk of the workplace atmosphere being oxygen deficient. - When the workplace atmosphere is uncontrolled. - When the workplace atmosphere is unknown. - When there is a risk of loss of consciousness or asphyxiation - When entry into a confined space is required. - When there is a risk of gases being released that could be a fire or explosion hazard. - When the concentration of contaminants in the atmosphere exceeds the level of protection (maximum allowed concentration) given by a filtering device - When the contaminants have a low odour that would not be tasted or smelt by the wearer of a filtering device if the filter became exhausted or saturated. - When there is a risk of hydrogen sulphide exposure limits being exceeded. Use with adequate ventilation. If there is a requirement for the use of a respiratory protective device, but the use of breathing apparatus (independent of ambient atmosphere) is not required, then a suitable filtering device must be worn. The filter class must be suitable for the maximum contaminant concentration (gas/vapour/ aerosol/particulates) that may arise when handling the product. Recommended: Combined filter suitable for gases, vapours and particles (dust, smoke, mist, aerosol). Filter type: AP.
