First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
If breathing is irregular or stopped, immediately seek medical assistance and start first aid actions. Provide fresh air.
Wash with plenty of soap and water.
Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 10 minutes, holding the eyelids apart.
Rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious). Do NOT induce vomiting.

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
General ventilation.
Wear suitable gloves. Chemical protection gloves are suitable, which are tested according to EN 374. Check leaktightness/impermeability prior to use. In the case of wanting to use the gloves again, clean them before taking off and air them well. For special purposes, it is recommended to check the resistance to chemicals of the protective gloves mentioned above together with the supplier of these gloves.
Wear eye/face protection.
In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection.
Use appropriate container to avoid environmental contamination. Keep away from drains, surface and ground water.
