First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Remove victim to uncontaminated area wearing self contained breathing apparatus. Keep victim warm and rested. Call a doctor. Apply artificial respiration if breathing stopped.

Symptoms: In high concentrations may cause asphyxiation. Symptoms may include loss of mobility/consciousness. Victim may not be aware of asphyxiation. Low concentrations of CO2 cause increased respiration and headache.

Eye contact

Rinse the eye with water immediately. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Get immediate medical assistance. If medical assistance is not immediately available, flush an additional 15 minutes.

Ingestion

Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.

Symptoms: Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.

Immediate Medical Attention

Call a doctor. Get immediate medical assistance.

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Consider a work permit system e.g. for maintenance activities. Ensure adequate air ventilation. Oxygen detectors should be used when asphyxiating gases may be released. Provide adequate ventilation, including appropriate local extraction, to ensure that the defined occupational exposure limit is not exceeded. Systems under pressure should be regularly checked for leakages. Preferably use permanent leak tight connections (eg. welded pipes). CO2 detectors should be used when CO2 may be released.

Hands

Wear working gloves while handling containers Guideline: EN 388 Protective gloves against mechanical risks.

Eyes

Safety eyewear, goggles or face-shield to EN166 should be used to avoid exposure to liquid splashes. Wear eye protection to EN 166 when using gases. Guideline: EN 166 Personal Eye Protection.

Respiratory

Not required.

Skin/Body

No special precautions. Wear safety shoes while handling containers Guideline: ISO 20345 Personal protective equipment - Safety footwear.
