Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
If affected by content vapours, remove the patient from further exposure into fresh air, if safe to do so. Once removed, lay patient down in a well-ventilated area and reassure them whilst waiting for medical assistance. If not breathing, provide artificial respiration and seek immediate medical assistance. If unconscious, place in a recovery position and seek immediate medical assistance.
Symptoms:
difficulty breathing
🖐️ Skin Contact
If skin or hair contact has occurred with the contents, remove any contaminated clothing and footwear, wash skin or hair thoroughly with soap and water.
Symptoms:
Causes severe skin burns
👁️ Eye Contact
If the contents come into contact with the eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush the eye immediately with large amounts of running water. Continue flushing for at least 15 minutes or until advised to stop by a Doctor. Check for contact lenses. If there are contact lenses, these should be removed after several minutes of rinsing by the exposed person or medical personnel if it can be done easily.
Symptoms:
Causes severe eye damage
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
If the contents have been ingested, rinse mouth out with water. 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.
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
Seek medical advice immediately as urgent hospital treatment is likely to be required. For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre (Phone Australia 131 126; New Zealand 0800 764 766) or a doctor at once. After flushing eyes, immediately call a Poisons Information Centre (Phone Australia 131 126; New Zealand 0800 764 766) or doctor/physician. After flushing skin, immediately call a Poisons Information Centre (Phone Australia 131 126; New Zealand 0800 764 766) or doctor/physician. If not breathing, provide artificial respiration and seek immediate medical assistance. If unconscious, place in a recovery position and seek immediate medical assistance. If the person has inhaled vapours and is having difficulty breathing, immediately call a Poisons Information Centre (Phone Australia 131 126; New Zealand 0800 764 766) or doctor/physician.
