Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
In case of exposure to intense concentrations of vapours, fumes or spray, transport the person away from the contaminated zone, keep warm and allow to rest. Immediately begin artificial respiration if breathing has ceased. Call a physician immediately. If there is any suspicion of inhalation of H2S. Rescuers must wear breathing apparatus, belt and safety rope, and follow rescue procedures. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Provision of oxygen may help. Remove casualty to fresh air as quickly as possible.
Symptoms:
Inhalation of vapors in high concentration may cause irritation of respiratory system. Causes headache, drowsiness or other effects to the central nervous system. Risk of hydrogen sulphide intoxication (H2S).
🖐️ Skin Contact
Immediately remove all stained or splashed clothing that is not adhering to the skin. Remove as much as possible by wiping. If necessary, use a fatty substance of animal or vegetable origin. Never use gasoline, kerosene or other solvents for washing of contaminated skin. Wash affected area with soap and water. Seek medical attention if skin irritation, swelling or redness develops and persists. When using high-pressure equipment, injection of product can occur. If high-pressure injuries occur, immediately seek professional medical attention. For minor thermal burns. Hold the burned area under cold running water for at least five minutes, or until the pain subsides. Do not puncture blisters. DO NOT attempt to remove portions of clothing glued to burnt skin but cut round them. Seek medical attention in all cases of serious burns. In this case, the casualty should be sent immediately to hospital.
Symptoms:
Prolonged or repeated contact may dry skin and cause irritation. Risk of burns ( if the product is hot). If skin irritation, swelling or redness develops and persists.
👁️ Eye Contact
IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If irritation, blurred vision or swelling occurs and persists. Obtain medical advice from a specialist. In case of contact with the hot product, COOL THE EYE IMMEDIATELY AND COPIOUSLY WITH COLD WATER for 10 minutes, keeping the eye open if possible. Take the person to a specialised medical centre.
Symptoms:
Vapor may cause irritation. Risk of burns ( if the product is hot). If irritation, blurred vision or swelling occurs and persists.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
Do NOT induce vomiting. Give nothing to drink. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Consult a physician.
Symptoms:
few or no symptoms expected. If any, nausea and diarrhoea might occur.
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
IN CASE OF SERIOUS OR PERSISTENT CONDITIONS, CALL A DOCTOR OR EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE. Call a physician immediately. Obtain medical advice from a specialist. If high-pressure injuries occur, immediately seek professional medical attention. Seek medical attention in all cases of serious burns. In this case, the casualty should be sent immediately to hospital. Consult a physician.

🏭 Engineering Controls
Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not enter empty storage tanks until measurements of available oxygen have been carried out. When working in confined spaces (tanks, containers, etc.), ensure that there is a supply of air suitable for breathing and wear the recommended equipment.
🧤 Hand Protection
Hydrocarbon-proof gloves. Nitrile rubber. Neoprene gloves. Wear suitable gloves tested to EN374.
👁️ Eye Protection
Work helmet with neck cloth. Tightly fitting safety goggles. or. Face-shield.
😷 Respiratory Protection
For rescue and maintenance work in storage tanks use self-contained breathing apparatus. The use of breathing apparatus must comply strictly with the manufacturer's instructions and the regulations governing their choices and uses. Maintain adequate ventilation. Do not breathe vapors, mist or gas. In an emergency or for exceptional short-lasting jobs in an atmosphere polluted by the product, it is necessary to wear protective respiratory equipment. Approved respiratory protection equipment shall be used in spaces where hydrogen sulphide may accumulate: full face mask with cartridge/filter type B (grey for inorganic vapours including H2S) or self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). (EN 529).
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Wear single use overwall. Hydocarbon resistant clothing. Protective shoes or boots. Rubber or plastic boots. Coverall (with trousers legs over boots).
🌍 Environmental Exposure Controls
The product should not be allowed to enter drains, water courses or the soil
