First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Move exposed individual to fresh air. Loosen clothing as necessary and position individual in a comfortable position.Seek medical advice if discomfort or irritation persists.Give artificial respiration if necessary. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.

Symptoms: Irritation, Shortness of breath.

Skin contact

Rinse exposed skin with water for 20 minutes.Immediately enter emergency shower rinsing while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.Transport victim to the hospital.

Symptoms: Irritation

Eye contact

Protect unexposed eye. Flush exposed eye gently using water for 15-20 minutes.Remove contact lenses while rinsing.Immediately seek medical attention.

Symptoms: Irritation

Ingestion

Rinse mouth thoroughly. Do not induce vomiting. Dilute with water or milk.Immediately seek medical attention.

Symptoms: Irritation, Nausea, Headache

Immediate Medical Attention

If seeking medical attention, provide SDS document to physician.

Medical Treatment

Physician should treat symptomatically.

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in the immediate vicinity of use/handling.Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapor and mists below the applicable workplace exposure limits (Occupational Exposure Limits-OELs) indicated above.

Hands

Select glove material impermeable and resistant to the substance.Select glove material based on rates of diffusion and degradation.Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices.Use proper glove removal technique without touching outer surface. Avoid skin contact with used gloves.

Eyes

Safety glasses with side shields or goggles.Wear equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

Respiratory

Not required under normal conditions of use. Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls.When necessary use NIOSH approved breathing equipment.

Skin/Body

Wear protective clothing.
