If fumes, aerosols or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area. Other measures are usually unnecessary.

If skin contact occurs: Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear. Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).

Symptoms: irritation

If this product comes in contact with the eyes: Wash out immediately with fresh running water. Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention. Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.

Symptoms: pain persists or recurs

If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration. Observe the patient carefully. Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious. Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can comfortably drink. Seek medical advice.

Symptoms: signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious

General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions.

Wear chemical protective gloves, e.g. PVC. Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, e.g. Rubber Butyl rubber gloves Nitrile rubber gloves (Note: Nitric acid penetrates nitrile gloves in a few minutes.) Glove selection is based on a modified presentation of the "Forsberg Clothing Performance Index", with BUTYL and NITRILE materials rated as 'Best Selection'. Recommended Ansell gloves include Alpha Tec series (15-554, 37-185, 38-612, 58-008, 58-530B, 58-530W, 58-735, 79-700, 37-675) and DermaShield 73-711. Final selection must be based on detailed observation and confirmed with the glove supplier.

Safety glasses with side shields. Chemical goggles. [AS/NZS 1337.1, EN166 or national equivalent] Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lenses or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].

Type A-P Filter of sufficient capacity (AS/NZS 1716 & 1715, EN 143:2000 & 149:2001, ANSI Z88 or national equivalent) is required when the concentration of gas/particulates in the breathing zone approaches or exceeds the "Exposure Standard". Degree of protection varies with face-piece and filter class/type. Required minimum protection factors and corresponding respirator types are specified: up to 10 x ES (Half-Face: A-AUS P2, Powered Air: A-PAPR-AUS / Class 1 P2), up to 50 x ES (Full-Face: A-AUS / Class 1 P2), up to 100 x ES (Full-Face: A-2 P2, Powered Air: A-PAPR-2 P2 ^). Filter types include A (Organic vapours), B (Acid gasses), E (Sulfur dioxide), G (Agricultural chemicals), K (Ammonia), Hg (Mercury), NO (Oxides of nitrogen), MB (Methyl bromide), AX (Low boiling point organic compounds below 65 degC). Cartridge respirators should not be used for emergency ingress or in areas of unknown vapour concentrations or oxygen content. Wearers must leave contaminated areas immediately upon detecting odours. Cartridge performance is affected by humidity; cartridges should be changed after 2 hr of continuous use (4 hr if humidity is less than 75%) and discarded daily.

Protective clothing including overalls and P.V.C apron. Barrier cream and skin cleansing cream are also recommended. Refer to hand protection for glove details.
