Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Keep patient warm and at rest. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If unconscious place in recovery position and seek medical advice. In the event of unconsciousness, apnea or cardiac arrest (no pulse) apply cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Symptoms:
Irritating to respiratory system. Signs of eye, throat, and respiratory tract irritation (cough and difficulty breathing), CNS depression (fatigue, dizziness, headache, collapse, coma and death) and possible cardiac sensitization may occur after exposure to high vapor concentrations.
🖐️ Skin Contact
Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. In case of contact, immediately flush skin with soap and plenty of water. Seek medical attention if ill effect or irritation develops. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
Symptoms:
Causes eye and skin irritation. Causes moderate skin irritation. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.
👁️ Eye Contact
In case of eye contact, remove contact lens and rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.
Symptoms:
Causes eye and skin irritation. Moderate to severe eye irritant. Signs of eye, throat, and respiratory tract irritation (cough and difficulty breathing)...
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. DO NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting does occur, have victim lean forward to reduce risk of aspiration. Get medical attention immediately. Do not give milk or alcoholic beverages. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Symptoms:
Toxic: danger of very serious irreversible effects... if swallowed. Aspiration into the lungs during swallowing or vomiting can cause lung damage, possibly leading to chronic lung dysfunction or death. Symptoms following ingestion of benzene include vomiting, loss of coordination, shallow/rapid pulse, loss of concentration, delirium, chemical pneumonitis, initial CNS stimulation followed by CNS depression, dizziness, pallor, flushing, weakness, headache
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
Get medical attention immediately for eye contact or ingestion. If unconscious or experiencing apnea/cardiac arrest after inhalation, seek medical advice and apply cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Seek medical attention if ill effect or irritation develops after skin contact.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically. Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient. Do NOT induce vomiting. Consider activated charcoal and/or gastric lavage. Gastric lavage is indicated in those patients who require decontamination. Be sure that an endotracheal tube is in place prior to lavage; use cuffed tubes in patients over 7 years of age.

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits.
🌍 Environmental Exposure Controls
General advice : See section 6. Soil : Waste management practices such as incineration, recycling, reuse must be enforced as needed to reduce exposures to an acceptable level. External treatment and disposal of waste should comply with applicable local and/or national regulations. The maximum allowable site tonnage and the days of use should be below the number needed to maintain exposures at an acceptable level. Water : If necessary, all contaminated waste water must be treated in a municipal or industrial wastewater treatment plant before release to surface water. Chemical removal by air and water pollution control devices must meet the minimum efficiency requirements needed to reduce exposures to an acceptable level. The discharge of treatment plant effluent to rivers and oceans must achieve the dilution ratio needed to reduce exposures to an acceptable level. The size and capacity of wastewater treatment plants must meet the minimum requirements needed to reduce exposures to an acceptable level.
