First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. Call a POISON CENTRE if you feel unwell.
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse. Rinse skin with water [or shower]. If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice.
Symptoms: Skin irritation.
Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists: Get medical attention.
Symptoms: Eye irritation.
Immediately call a POISON CENTRE. Do NOT induce vomiting.
Immediate Medical Attention
Ensure thorough eye and skin decontamination. Treat unconsciousness, nausea, low blood pressure, seizures, and cardiac rhythm disturbances in the conventional manner.
Medical Treatment
Ensure thorough eye and skin decontamination. Treat unconsciousness, nausea, low blood pressure, seizures, and cardiac rhythm disturbances in the conventional manner. Aspiration of this product during induced emesis can result in lung injury. If evacuation of stomach contents is considered necessary, use the method least likely to cause aspiration, such as gastric lavage after protecting the airway. Observe hospitalized patients for delayed chemical pneumonia, acute kidney failure, altered level of consciousness, and cardiac rhythm disturbances.

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Engineering methods to reduce hazardous exposure are preferred controls. Methods include mechanical ventilation (dilution and local exhaust) process or personal enclosure, remote and automated operation, control of process conditions, leak detection and repair systems, and other process modifications. Ensure all exhaust ventilation systems are discharged to outdoors, away from air intakes and ignition sources. Supply sufficient replacement air to make up for air removed by exhaust systems. Administrative (procedure) controls and use of personal protective equipment may also be required.
Chemical resistant gloves.
Safety glasses. Chemical goggles are recommended if splashing is possible or to prevent eye irritation from vapours.
Appropriate NIOSH approved air-purifying respirator that meets the requirements of CSA Standard CAN/CSA-Z94.4, or self-contained breathing apparatus should be used. Supplied air breathing apparatus must be used when oxygen concentrations are low or if airborne concentrations exceed the limits of the air-purifying respirators or IDLH levels.
Wear appropriate clothing to prevent any possibility of skin contact. Wear work clothes with long sleeves and pants. If splashing or contact with liquid material is possible, consider the need for an impervious overcoat. Fire resistant (i.e., Nomex) or natural fibre clothing (i.e., cotton or wool) is recommended. Synthetic clothing can generate static electricity and is not recommended where a flammable vapour release may occur. Wear chemical-resistant safety footwear with good traction to prevent slipping. Static Dissipative (SD) rated footwear is also recommended.
