Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. In case of inhalation of decomposition products in a fire, symptoms may be delayed. The exposed person may need to be kept under medical surveillance for 48 hours. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Symptoms:
Exposure to decomposition products may cause a health hazard. Serious effects may be delayed following exposure. Overexposure to the inhalation of airborne droplets or aerosols may cause irritation of the respiratory tract.
🖐️ Skin Contact
Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use recognised skin cleanser. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation develops.
Symptoms:
Defatting to the skin. May cause skin dryness and irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact can defat the skin and lead to irritation and/or dermatitis.
👁️ Eye Contact
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Eyelids should be held away from the eyeball to ensure thorough rinsing. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Get medical attention.
Symptoms:
No known significant effects or critical hazards. Potential risk of transient stinging or redness if accidental eye contact occurs.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Symptoms:
No known significant effects or critical hazards. Ingestion of large quantities may cause nausea and diarrhoea.
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
Get medical attention. In case of inhalation of decomposition products in a fire, symptoms may be delayed. The exposed person may need to be kept under medical surveillance for 48 hours. Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.
Medical Treatment
Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the relevant airborne concentrations below their respective occupational exposure limits. All activities involving chemicals should be assessed for their risks to health, to ensure exposures are adequately controlled. Personal protective equipment should only be considered after other forms of control measures (e.g. engineering controls) have been suitably evaluated.
🧤 Hand Protection
General Information: The correct choice of protective gloves depends upon the chemicals being handled, and the conditions of work and use. Gloves should be chosen in consultation with the supplier / manufacturer and taking account of full assessment of the working conditions. Recommended: Nitrile gloves. Continuous contact: Gloves with a minimum breakthrough time of 240 minutes, or >480 minutes if suitable gloves can be obtained. Short-term / splash protection: Recommended breakthrough times as above. For general applications, we recommend gloves with a thickness typically greater than 0.35 mm. Thinner gloves (down to 0.1 mm or less) may be required where a high degree of manual dexterity is needed. Thicker gloves (up to 3 mm or more) may be required where there is a mechanical (as well as a chemical) risk. Standards: EN 420, EN 374.
👁️ Eye Protection
Safety glasses with side shields. Standard: EN 166.
😷 Respiratory Protection
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. The correct choice depends upon the chemicals being handled, conditions of work and use, and equipment condition. Equipment should be chosen in consultation with the supplier/manufacturer and with a full assessment of working conditions. Standards: EN 529, EN 149 (Filtering half-mask), EN 405 (Filtering half-mask with valve), EN 140 plus filter (Half-mask), EN 136 plus filter (Full-face mask), EN 143 (Particulate filters), EN 14387 (Gas/combined filters).
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Use of protective clothing is good industrial practice. Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved. Cotton or polyester/cotton overalls provide protection against light superficial contamination. For high risk of skin exposure (e.g., spillages, splashing), chemical resistant aprons and/or impervious chemical suits and boots will be required.
🌍 Environmental Exposure Controls
Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
