Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
Move to fresh air.
🖐️ Skin Contact
Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water [or shower].
👁️ Eye Contact
Flush thoroughly with water. If irritation occurs, get medical assistance.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
Call a doctor or poison control centre immediately. Rinse mouth. Never give liquid to an unconscious person. If vomiting occurs, keep head low so that stomach content doesn't get into the lungs. Do not induce vomiting without medical advice.
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell. If eye irritation occurs, get medical assistance. Call a doctor or poison control centre immediately for ingestion.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
No special requirements under ordinary conditions of use and with adequate ventilation. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.
🧤 Hand Protection
Material: Chemical resistant gloves
👁️ Eye Protection
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) and a face shield.
😷 Respiratory Protection
If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not been established), an approved respirator must be worn.
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Wear suitable protective clothing.
