Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
If inhalation of mists, fumes or vapour causes irritation to the nose or throat, remove to fresh air. Casualties suffering ill effects as a result of exposure to hydrogen sulphide should be removed to fresh air. Do not attempt to rescue the victim unless proper respiratory protection is worn. If the victim has difficulty breathing or tightness of the chest, is dizzy, vomiting, or unresponsive, give 100% oxygen with rescue breathing or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) as required and transport to the nearest medical facility.
Symptoms:
If inhalation of mists, fumes or vapour causes irritation to the nose or throat. Casualties suffering ill effects as a result of exposure to hydrogen sulphide. If the victim has difficulty breathing or tightness of the chest, is dizzy, vomiting, or unresponsive. Respiratory irritation signs and symptoms may include a temporary burning sensation of the nose and throat, coughing, and/or difficulty breathing.
🖐️ Skin Contact
Cold product: Remove contaminated clothing. Immediately flush skin with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, and follow by washing with soap and water if available. Hot product: If contact with hot product, immediately cool the burn area by flushing or immersing the affected area with water for at least 15 to 20 minutes. Do not attempt to remove anything from the burn area or apply burn creams or ointments. During transport do not cover the wound with dressing or sheet since these may adhere to the product. It should be noted this product contracts on cooling. Where a limb is encased, care should be taken to avoid the development of a tourniquet effect. In the event of this occurring, the adhering product must be softened and/or split to prevent restriction of blood flow.
Symptoms:
If redness, swelling, pain and/or blisters occur.
👁️ Eye Contact
Cold product: Flush eye with copious quantities of water. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Hot product: If contact with hot product, immediately cool the burn area by flushing with large amounts of water. Do not attempt to remove anything from the burn area. Do not apply burn creams or ointments. During transport do not cover the wound with dressing or sheet since these may adhere to the product. Transport to the nearest medical facility for additional treatment.
Symptoms:
If persistent irritation occurs. Eye irritation signs and symptoms may include a burning sensation, redness, swelling, and/or blurred vision.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
In general no treatment is necessary unless large quantities are swallowed, however, get medical advice.
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
Obtain medical treatment immediately. If redness, swelling, pain and/or blisters occur, transport to the nearest medical facility for additional treatment. All burns should receive medical attention. Transport to the nearest medical facility for additional treatment.
Medical Treatment
Do not attempt to remove the product from the skin as it provides an airtight sterile covering, which will eventually fall away with the scab as the burn heals. If removal is attempted, mineral oil (not mineral spirits) or a mineral oil based ointment may be applied to help soften the product to facilitate removal. Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) - CNS asphyxiant. May cause rhinitis, bronchitis and occasionally pulmonary oedema after severe exposure. CONSIDER: Oxygen therapy. Consult a Poison Control Center for guidance.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
Read in conjunction with the Exposure Scenario for your specific use contained in the Annex. The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary depending upon potential exposure conditions. Select controls based on a risk assessment of local circumstances. Appropriate measures include: Eye washes and showers for emergency use.
🧤 Hand Protection
Where hand contact with the product may occur the use of gloves approved to relevant standards (e.g. Europe: EN374, US: F739) made from the following materials may provide suitable chemical protection. PVC, neoprene or nitrile rubber gloves Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on usage, e.g. frequency and duration of contact, chemical resistance of glove material, dexterity. Always seek advice from glove suppliers. Contaminated gloves should be replaced. Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care. Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves, hands should be washed and dried thoroughly. Application of a non-perfumed moisturizer is recommended. For continuous contact we recommend gloves with breakthrough time of more than 240 minutes with preference for > 480 minutes where suitable gloves can be identified. For short-term/splash protection we recommend the same but recognize that suitable gloves offering this level of protection may not be available and in this case a lower breakthrough time maybe acceptable so long as appropriate maintenance and replacement regimes are followed. Glove thickness is not a good predictor of glove resistance to a chemical as it is dependent on the exact composition of the glove material. Glove thickness should be typically greater than 0.35 mm depending on the glove make and model.
👁️ Eye Protection
Eye washes and showers for emergency use. When handling heated product, wear safety glasses and a face shield (preferably with a chin guard).
😷 Respiratory Protection
No respiratory protection is ordinarily required under normal conditions of use. In accordance with good industrial hygiene practices, precautions should be taken to avoid breathing of material. If air-filtering respirators are suitable for conditions of use: Select a filter suitable for the combination of inorganic gases and vapours and particles meeting EN14387 and 143 [Filter type B/P]. In areas where hydrogen sulphide vapours may accumulate, a positive-pressure air-supplied respirator is advised.
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Wear chemical resistant gloves/gauntlets and boots. Where risk of splashing, also wear an apron.
🌍 Environmental Exposure Controls
Read in conjunction with the Exposure Scenario for your specific use contained in the Annex. Local guidelines on emission limits for volatile substances must be observed for the discharge of exhaust air containing vapour. Minimise release to the environment. An environmental assessment must be made to ensure compliance with local environmental legislation. Information on accidental release measures are to be found in section 6. Take appropriate measures to fulfil the requirements of relevant environmental protection legislation. Avoid contamination of the environment by following advice given in Section 6. If necessary, prevent undissolved material from being discharged to waste water. Waste water should be treated in a municipal or industrial waste water treatment plant before discharge to surface water.
