First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move to fresh air. Call a POISON CENTER/doctor if you feel unwell.
Symptoms: Irritating to respiratory system. May cause drowsiness or dizziness.
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes.
Symptoms: Irritating to skin.
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do, remove contact lenses. Get medical attention.
Symptoms: Irritating to eyes. In case of irritation from airborne exposure, move to fresh air.
Call a POISON CENTER/doctor if you feel unwell. Rinse mouth. If vomiting occurs, keep head low so that stomach content doesn't get into the lungs.
Symptoms: Harmful if swallowed.

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Adequate ventilation should be provided so that exposure limits are not exceeded. Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.
Chemical resistant gloves
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) and a face shield.
In case of inadequate ventilation use suitable respirator.
Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves.
