Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device.
🖐️ Skin Contact
Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
👁️ Eye Contact
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
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
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
Immediate medical attention is required.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
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
🧤 Hand Protection
Protective gloves are required. Recommended glove materials and specifications include: Butyl rubber (0.5 mm thickness, >480 minutes breakthrough time, EN 374), Nitrile rubber (0.35 mm thickness, >480 minutes breakthrough time, EN 374), Neoprene gloves (0.5 mm thickness, >480 minutes breakthrough time, EN 374), Viton (R) (0.4 mm thickness, >480 minutes breakthrough time, EN 374), and PVC (0.5 mm thickness, >480 minutes breakthrough time, EN 374). Gloves should be inspected before use, and instructions from the supplier regarding permeability and breakthrough time must be observed. Ensure gloves are suitable for the task considering chemical compatibility, dexterity, operational conditions, user susceptibility, and local conditions (e.g., cuts, abrasion). Remove gloves carefully to avoid skin contamination.
👁️ Eye Protection
Goggles (European standard - EN 166)
😷 Respiratory Protection
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.
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Body protection requires long sleeved clothing. General skin protection practices include ensuring gloves are suitable for the task (considering chemical compatibility, dexterity, operational conditions, user susceptibility, and local conditions like cuts or abrasion), and removing gloves with care to avoid skin contamination.
