Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
Inhalation Exposure
Remove to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Immediately get medical attention.
Symptoms:
May cause respiratory irritation. Possible inflammation of the respiratory tract.
Skin Contact
Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Symptoms:
Causes skin irritation.
Eye Contact
In case of contact with eyes flush immediately with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes holding eyelids apart and consult an ophthalmologist. Immediately get medical attention. Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
Symptoms:
Causes serious eye damage.
Ingestion/Swallowing
If victim completely conscious/alert give water or milk if the person is fully conscious. Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Obtain emergency medical attention. Call a POISON CENTER/doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
Symptoms:
Swallowing a small quantity of this material will result in serious health hazard.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
Engineering Controls
Ensure adequate ventilation. Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in the immediate vicinity of any potential exposure. Local exhaust ventilation is recommended to maintain vapor level below the threshold limit value (TLV).
Hand Protection
Wear protective gloves. Use neoprene gloves. Use gloves constructed of chemical resistant materials such as heavy nitrile rubber if frequent or prolonged contact is expected.
Eye Protection
Wear protective eyewear. Eye protection, including both chemical splash goggles and face shield, must be worn when possibility exists for eye contact due to spraying liquid or airborne particles. Do not wear contact lenses.
Respiratory Protection
Work in well-ventilated zones or use proper respiratory protection. Wear appropriate mask. Protection factors vary depending upon the type of respirator used.
Skin/Body Protection
Wear suitable protective clothing. Rubber apron, boots.
