Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
Remove victim to fresh air. If breathing is difficult have qualified individual administer oxygen and get immediate medical attention. If breathing stops, give artificial respiration. Get immediate medical attention.
Symptoms:
nose, throat or upper respiratory tract irritation and nervous system effects including dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, visual disturbances and unconsciousness.
🖐️ Skin Contact
Immediately flush skin with water for 20 minutes while removing contaminated clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Get medical attention. Launder before reuse.
Symptoms:
May cause severe irritation or burns. May cause an allergic skin reaction.
👁️ Eye Contact
Immediately flush eye with water for at least 20 minutes while lifting the upper and lower lids. Get immediate medical attention.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. If the victim is conscious and alert, have them rinse their mouth with water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or drowsy person. Get immediate medical attention.
Symptoms:
Harmful or fatal if swallowed.
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
Use with adequate local exhaust ventilation to maintain exposure levels below the occupational exposure limits.
🧤 Hand Protection
Impervious gloves recommended (butyl rubber).
👁️ Eye Protection
Wear safety goggles. A faceshield should be worn where splashing is possible.
😷 Respiratory Protection
None needed with adequate ventilation. If the occupational exposure limit is exceeded, use an approved respirator with organic vapor/formaldehyde cartridges (In the U.S., refer to 29 CFR1910.1048 for cartridge change schedule requirements) or a supplied air respirator appropriate for the form and concentration of the contaminants should be used. Select in accordance with OSHA 1910.134 or other applicable regulations and good Industrial Hygiene practice.
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Impervious clothing as needed to avoid skin contact.
