Do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.

Symptoms: Ingestion causes severe swelling, severe damage to the delicate tissue and danger of perforation

Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. 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.

Protective gloves are required. Recommended glove materials include Butyl rubber (0.5 mm thickness, 480 minutes breakthrough time), Nitrile rubber (0.35 mm thickness, 480 minutes breakthrough time), Neoprene gloves (0.5 mm thickness, 480 minutes breakthrough time), Viton (R) (0.4 mm thickness, 480 minutes breakthrough time), and PVC (0.5 mm thickness, 480 minutes breakthrough time). Gloves should comply with EN 374, as tested under EN374-3 Determination of Resistance to Permeation by Chemicals.

Goggles (European standard - EN 166) are required.

When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate certified respirators. To protect the wearer, respiratory protective equipment must be the correct fit and be used and maintained properly. For large scale/emergency use, a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 136 approved respirator is recommended if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. Recommended Filter type: Particulates filter conforming to EN 143 or Acid gases filter: Type E, Yellow. For small scale/Laboratory use, a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149:2001 approved respirator is recommended if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. Recommended half mask: Valve filtering: EN405; or; Half mask: EN140; plus filter, EN 141. When RPE is used a face piece Fit Test should be conducted.
