First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
If breathing is irregular or stopped, immediately seek medical assistance and start first aid actions. In case of respiratory tract irritation, consult a physician. Provide fresh air.
Wash with plenty of soap and water.
Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 10 minutes, holding the eyelids apart.
Rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious). Do NOT induce vomiting.
Firefighting Measures
