Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
Following exposure to gas, remove the patient from the gas source or contaminated area. Remove victim from exposure, and give supplemental oxygen if available. If the patient is not breathing spontaneously, administer rescue breathing. If the patient does not have a pulse, administer CPR. If medical oxygen and appropriately trained personnel are available, administer 100% oxygen. Administer rescue breathing (preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask-device, or pocket mask as trained) or CPR if necessary.
🖐️ Skin Contact
If skin contact occurs: Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear. Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available). Seek medical attention in event of irritation. In case of cold burns (frost-bite): Move casualty into warmth before thawing the affected part; if feet are affected carry if possible Bathe the affected area immediately in luke-warm water (not more than 35 deg C) for 10 to 15 minutes, immersing if possible and without rubbing. Apply a clean, dry, light dressing of "fluffed-up" dry gauze bandage If a limb is involved, raise and support this to reduce swelling If an adult is involved and where intense pain occurs provide pain killers such as paracetomol Transport to hospital, or doctor.
Symptoms:
irritation. In case of cold burns (frost-bite): intense pain. Subsequent blackening of the exposed tissue indicates potential of necrosis, which may require amputation.
👁️ Eye Contact
If product comes in contact with eyes remove the patient from gas source or contaminated area. Take the patient to the nearest eye wash, shower or other source of clean water. Open the eyelid(s) wide to allow the material to evaporate. Gently rinse the affected eye(s) with clean, cool water for at least 15 minutes. Have the patient lie or sit down and tilt the head back. Hold the eyelid(s) open and pour water slowly over the eyeball(s) at the inner corners, letting the water run out of the outer corners. Ensure that the patient looks up, and side to side as the eye is rinsed in order to better reach all parts of the eye(s) Transport to hospital or doctor. If the patient cannot tolerate light, protect the eyes with a clean, loosely tied bandage. Ensure verbal communication and physical contact with the patient.
Symptoms:
The patient may be in great pain and wish to keep the eyes closed. If the patient cannot tolerate light.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
Not considered a normal route of entry. For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor. If spontaneous vomiting appears imminent or occurs, hold patient's head down, lower than their hips to help avoid possible aspiration of vomitus. Prehospital: Administer activated charcoal, if available. Hospital: Administer activated charcoal, although the efficacy of charcoal is unknown. Perform gastric lavage only if the ingestion was very large and recent (less than 30 minutes).
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
Transport to hospital or doctor (for eye contact). Seek medical attention in event of irritation (for skin contact). Transport to hospital, or doctor (for skin contact). Summon an emergency ambulance. If an ambulance is not available, contact a physician, hospital, or Poison Control Centre for further instruction. Maintain an open airway and assist ventilation if necessary. Treat coma and arrhythmias if they occur.
Medical Treatment
For intoxication due to Freons/ Halons: Maintain an open airway and assist ventilation if necessary. Treat coma and arrhythmias if they occur. Tachyarrhythmias caused by increased myocardial sensitisation may be treated with propranolol, 1-2 mg IV or esmolol 25-100 microgm/kg/min IV. If lavage is performed, suggest endotracheal and/or esophageal control. Treatment based on judgment of the physician in response to reactions of the patient. For frost-bite caused by liquefied petroleum gas: If part has not thawed, place in warm water bath (41-46 C) for 15-20 minutes, until the skin turns pink or red. Analgesia may be necessary while thawing. If there has been a massive exposure, the general body temperature must be depressed, and the patient must be immediately rewarmed by whole-body immersion, in a bath at the above temperature. Administer tetanus toxoid booster after hospitalization. Prophylactic antibiotics may be useful. The patient may require anticoagulants and oxygen. For gas exposures: Establish a patent airway with suction where necessary. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilation as necessary. Administer oxygen by non-rebreather mask at 10 to 15 l/min. Monitor and treat, where necessary, for pulmonary oedema. Monitor and treat, where necessary, for shock. Anticipate seizures. Consider orotracheal or nasotracheal intubation for airway control in unconscious patient or where respiratory arrest has occurred. Positive-pressure ventilation using a bag-valve mask might be of use. Monitor and treat, where necessary, for arrhythmias. Start an IV D5W TKO. If signs of hypovolaemia are present use lactated Ringers solution. Fluid overload might create complications. Drug therapy should be considered for pulmonary oedema. Hypotension with signs of hypovolaemia requires the cautious administration of fluids. Fluid overload might create complications. Treat seizures with diazepam. Proparacaine hydrochloride should be used to assist eye irrigation.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to provide this high level of protection. The basic types of engineering controls are: Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk. Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker and ventilation that strategically "adds" and "removes" air in the work environment. Ventilation can remove or dilute an air contaminant if designed properly. The design of a ventilation system must match the particular process and chemical or contaminant in use. Employers may need to use multiple types of controls to prevent employee overexposure.
🧤 Hand Protection
Butyl rubber gloves . Butyl rubber gloves should be used when handling halogenated aliphatics . Nitrile, PVC-coated nitrile, and PVC protective equipment are not recommended When handling sealed and suitably insulated cylinders wear cloth or leather gloves. Insulated gloves: NOTE: Insulated gloves should be loose fitting so that may be removed quickly if liquid is spilled upon them. Insulated gloves are not made to permit hands to be placed in the liquid; they provide only short-term protection from accidental contact with the liquid.
👁️ Eye Protection
Chemical goggles. Full face shield may be required for supplementary but never for primary protection of eyes. 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.
😷 Respiratory Protection
Type AX Filter of sufficient capacity. (AS/NZS 1716 & 1715, EN 143:2000 & 149:2001, ANSI Z88 or national equivalent) Selection of the Class and Type of respirator will depend upon the level of breathing zone contaminant and the chemical nature of the contaminant. Protection Factors (defined as the ratio of contaminant outside and inside the mask) may also be important. Cartridge respirators should never be used for emergency ingress or in areas of unknown vapour concentrations or oxygen content. The wearer must be warned to leave the contaminated area immediately on detecting any odours through the respirator. The odour may indicate that the mask is not functioning properly, that the vapour concentration is too high, or that the mask is not properly fitted. Because of these limitations, only restricted use of cartridge respirators is considered appropriate. Cartridge performance is affected by humidity. Cartridges should be changed after 2 hr of continuous use unless it is determined that the humidity is less than 75%, in which case, cartridges can be used for 4 hr. Used cartridges should be discarded daily, regardless of the length of time used. Positive pressure, full face, air-supplied breathing apparatus should be used for work in enclosed spaces if a leak is suspected or the primary containment is to be opened (e.g. for a cylinder change) Air-supplied breathing apparatus is required where release of gas from primary containment is either suspected or demonstrated.
