First Aid

Emergency First Aid Measures

Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies

Inhalation Exposure

Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, clear airway and start mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration or use a bag-mask respirator. Get immediate medical attention. If the victim is having trouble breathing, transport to medical care and if available, give supplemental oxygen.

Symptoms:

trouble breathing

Skin Contact

Frostbite: Do not remove clothes, but flush with copious amounts of lukewarm water. Call an ambulance and continue to flush during transportation to hospital.

Symptoms:

Frostbite

Eye Contact

Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.

Symptoms:

irritation develops or persists

Immediate Medical Attention Required

Call an ambulance. Continue flushing during transport to hospital. Get immediate medical attention if any discomfort develops or irritation persists.

Medical Treatment

Treat symptomatically.
