First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move source of dust or move person to fresh air. Obtain medical attention immediately.
Carefully and gently brush the contaminated body surfaces in order to remove all traces of product. Wash affected area immediately with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing. If skin irritation persists, call a physician.
Rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. Do NOT induce vomiting. Obtain medical attention.
Immediate Medical Attention
Immediate medical attention is required for inhalation and ingestion exposures. Seek medical advice for eye contact. If skin irritation persists, call a physician. In general, consult a physician for all exposures except for minor instances.

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Handling systems should preferably be enclosed or suitable ventilation installed to maintain atmospheric dust below the OES, if not wear suitable protective equipment.
Use approved nitrile impregnated gloves having CE marks.
Eye protection equipment (e.g. goggles or visors) must be worn, unless potential contact with the eye can be excluded by the nature and type of application (i.e. closed process). Additionally, face protection, protective clothing and safety shoes are required to be worn as appropriate. For powders, tight fitting goggles with side shields, or wide vision full goggles.
Local ventilation to keep levels below established threshold values is recommended. A suitable particle filter mask is recommended, depending on the expected exposure levels - please check the relevant exposure scenario, given in the Appendix/available via your supplier.
protective clothing and safety shoes are required to be worn as appropriate. Use clothing fully covering skin, full length pants, long sleeved overalls, with close fittings at openings. Footwear resistant to caustics and avoiding dust penetration.
All ventilation systems should be filtered before discharge to atmosphere. Contain the spillage. Keep the material dry if possible. Cover area if possible to avoid unnecessary dust hazard. Avoid uncontrolled spills to watercourses and drains (pH rising). Any large spillage into watercourses must be alerted to the Environment Agency or other regulatory body. For more information please see the relevant exposure scenario, available via your supplier/given in the Appendix, and check section 2.1: Control of worker exposure.
