Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
Allow affected person to breathe fresh air. Allow the victim to rest. Remove victim to uncontaminated area wearing self contained breathing apparatus. Keep victim warm and rested. Call a doctor. Perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation if breathing stopped.
Symptoms:
In high concentrations may cause asphyxiation. Symptoms may include loss of mobility/consciousness. Victim may not be aware of asphyxiation.
🖐️ Skin Contact
Remove affected clothing and wash all exposed skin area with mild soap and water, followed by warm water rinse.
Symptoms:
Adverse effects not expected from this product.
👁️ Eye Contact
Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Obtain medical attention if pain, blinking or redness persists.
Symptoms:
Adverse effects not expected from this product.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Obtain emergency medical attention.
Symptoms:
Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
Provide adequate general and local exhaust ventilation. Systems under pressure should be regularily checked for leakages. Ensure exposure is below occupational exposure limits (where available). Oxygen detectors should be used when asphyxiating gases may be released. Consider the use of a work permit system e.g. for maintenance activities.
🧤 Hand Protection
Wear protective gloves. Wear working gloves when handling gas containers. Standard EN 388 - Protective gloves against mechanical risks, performance level 1 or higher. Recommended types include wrist gloves from leather or synthetic material with equivalent performance, fabric gloves, fabric gloves with leather palms.
👁️ Eye Protection
A risk assessment should be conducted and documented in each work area to assess the risks related to the use of the product and to select the PPE that matches the relevant risk. The following recommendations should be considered: PPE compliant to the recommended EN/ISO standards should be selected. : Wear safety glasses with side shields. Chemical goggles or safety glasses. Standard EN 166 - Personal eye-protection - specifications.
😷 Respiratory Protection
Gas filters may be used if all surrounding conditions e.g. type and concentration of the contaminant(s) and duration of use are known. Wear appropriate mask. Use gas filters with full face mask, where exposure limits may be exceeded for a short-term period, e.g. connecting or disconnecting containers. Standard EN 137 - Self-contained open-circuit compressed air breathing apparatus with full face mask. Consult respiratory device supplier's product information for the selection of the appropriate device. When indicated by a risk assessment, Respiratory Protective Equipment must be used. The selection of the Respiratory Protective Device (RPD) must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selected RPD. Gas filters do not protect against oxygen deficiency. Self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or positive pressure airline with mask are to be used in oxygen-deficient atmospheres. Standard EN 14387 - Gas filter(s), combined filter(s) and standard EN136, full face masks . Self contained breathing apparatus is recommended, where unknown exposure may be expected, e.g. during maintenance activities on installation systems.
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Wear safety shoes while handling containers. Standard EN ISO 20345 - Personal protective equipment - Safety footwear.
🌍 Environmental Exposure Controls
