Emergency First Aid Measures

Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies

๐Ÿซ Inhalation Exposure

Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Symptoms:

Difficulty in breathing. Inhalation of high vapor concentrations may cause symptoms like headache, dizziness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting

๐Ÿ–๏ธ Skin Contact

Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If skin irritation persists, call a physician.

๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Eye Contact

Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.

๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Ingestion/Swallowing

Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water.

๐Ÿšจ Immediate Medical Attention Required

Get medical attention if symptoms occur or persist. Call a physician if symptoms persist or skin irritation persists.

Medical Treatment

Treat symptomatically.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment

๐Ÿญ Engineering Controls

Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting/equipment. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Wherever possible, engineering control measures such as the isolation or enclosure of the process, the introduction of process or equipment changes to minimise release or contact, and the use of properly designed ventilation systems, should be adopted to control hazardous materials at source

๐Ÿงค Hand Protection

Protective gloves. Butyl rubber (480 minutes, 0.35 mm, EN 374, Level 6), Neoprene gloves (480 minutes, 0.45 mm, EN 374), Viton (R) (480 minutes, 0.3 mm). Inspect gloves before use. Observe the instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time which are provided by the supplier of the gloves. Gloves are suitable for the task considering chemical compatibility, dexterity, operational conditions, user susceptibility, and specific local conditions such as danger of cuts, abrasion. Handle gloves with care avoiding skin contamination.

๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Eye Protection

Goggles (European standard - EN 166)

๐Ÿ˜ท Respiratory Protection

No protective equipment is needed under normal use conditions. For large scale/emergency use, use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 136 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. For small scale/Laboratory use, maintain adequate ventilation.

๐Ÿฆบ Skin/Body Protection

Long sleeved clothing.
