First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove the victim into fresh air. Respiratory problems: consult a doctor/medical service.
Wash immediately with lots of water (15 minutes)/shower. Do not apply (chemical) neutralizing agents. Remove clothing while washing. Do not remove clothing if it sticks to the skin. Cover wounds with sterile bandage. Consult a doctor/medical service. If burned surface > 10%: take victim to hospital.
Symptoms: Caustic burns/corrosion of the skin.
Rinse immediately with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Do not apply neutralizing agents. Take victim to an ophthalmologist.
Symptoms: Corrosion of the eye tissue.
Rinse mouth with water. Immediately after ingestion: give lots of water to drink. Do not induce vomiting. Do not give activated charcoal. Immediately consult a doctor/medical service. Take the container/vomit to the doctor/hospital. Call Poison Information Centre (www.big.be/antigif.htm). Ingestion of large quantities: immediately to hospital.
Immediate Medical Attention
Depending on the victim's condition: doctor/hospital.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Water spray. Polyvalent foam. Alcohol-resistant foam. Polymer foam. BC powder. Carbon dioxide.
DIRECT FIRE HAZARD. Combustible. INDIRECT FIRE HAZARD. Temperature above flashpoint: higher fire/explosion hazard. Reactions involving a fire hazard: see 'Reactivity Hazard'. INDIRECT EXPLOSION HAZARD. Reactions with explosion hazards: see 'Reactivity Hazard'.
Cool tanks/drums with water spray/remove them into safety.
Firefighter Protection
Heat/fire exposure: compressed air/oxygen apparatus.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Mark the danger area. No naked flames. Wash contaminated clothes. Large spills/in confined spaces: consider evacuation.
Large spills/in confined spaces: consider evacuation.
Prevent soil and water pollution. Prevent spreading in sewers.
Take up liquid spill into absorbent material, e.g.: sand, earth, vermiculite. Scoop absorbed substance into closing containers. Carefully collect the spill/leftovers. Damaged/cooled tanks must be emptied. Clean contaminated surfaces with an excess of water. Wash clothing and equipment after handling. Take collected spill to manufacturer/competent authority.
