Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
If breathed in, move person into fresh air. Consult a physician after significant exposure.
Symptoms:
May cause respiratory irritation.
🖐️ Skin Contact
Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Rinse immediately with plenty of water.
Symptoms:
Immediate medical treatment is necessary as untreated wounds from corrosion of the skin heal slowly and with difficulty. If skin irritation persists, call a physician. Causes severe burns.
👁️ Eye Contact
Rinse with plenty of water. Get medical attention immediately. Continue to rinse during transport. Remove contact lenses. Protect unharmed eye. Keep eye wide open while rinsing.
Symptoms:
Causes serious eye damage. Small amounts splashed into eyes can cause irreversible tissue damage and blindness.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Take victim immediately to hospital. Do not induce vomiting!
Symptoms:
May cause chemical burns in mouth and throat.
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
Immediate medical attention is required. Immediate medical treatment is necessary. Get medical attention immediately. Take victim immediately to hospital.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.
