First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention. Immediately administer a corticosteroid from a controlled/metered dose inhaler.

Skin contact

Immediately wash thoroughly with plenty of water, apply sterile dressings, consult a skin specialist.

Eye contact

Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open, consult an eye specialist.

Ingestion

Do not induce vomiting. Immediately rinse mouth and then drink 200-300 ml of water, seek medical attention.

Immediate Medical Attention

seek medical attention (for inhalation and ingestion), consult a skin specialist (for skin contact), consult an eye specialist (for eye contact).

Medical Treatment

Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific antidote. Pulmonary edema prophylaxis.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

water spray, dry powder, foam, carbon dioxide

Specific hazards

carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrous gases The substances/groups of substances mentioned can be released in case of fire. Under certain conditions in case of fire other hazardous combustion products may be generated.

Instructions

If exposed to fire, keep containers cool by spraying with water.

Firefighter Protection

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Personal precautions: Breathing protection required. Do not breathe vapour/aerosol/spray mists. Keep people away and stay on the upwind side. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Sources of ignition should be kept well clear. Methods for cleaning up or taking up: For small amounts: Pick up with absorbent material (e.g. sand, sawdust, general-purpose binder). For large amounts: Pick up with suitable appliance and dispose of. Cleaning operations should be carried out only while wearing breathing apparatus. Clean contaminated floors and objects thoroughly with water and detergents, observing environmental regulations. Collect waste in suitable containers, which can be labeled and sealed. Incinerate or take to a special waste disposal site in accordance with local authority regulations.

Small spill

For small amounts: Pick up with absorbent material (e.g. sand, sawdust, general-purpose binder).

Large spill

For large amounts: Pick up with suitable appliance and dispose of.

Environmental

Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater.

Cleanup methods

For small amounts: Pick up with absorbent material (e.g. sand, sawdust, general-purpose binder). For large amounts: Pick up with suitable appliance and dispose of. Clean contaminated floors and objects thoroughly with water and detergents, observing environmental regulations.

Materials: absorbent material (e.g. sand, sawdust, general-purpose binder), water and detergents

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Storage

Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep under nitrogen. Avoid all sources of ignition: heat, sparks, open flame.

Hygiene

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Hands and/or face should be washed before breaks and at the end of the shift.

Fire prevention

sources of ignition should be kept well clear - fire extinguishers should be kept handy. Avoid all sources of ignition: heat, sparks, open flame.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Hands

Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN ISO 374-1) Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN ISO 374-1): - fluoroelastomer (FKM) - 0.7 mm coating thickness - Polyethylene-Laminate (PE laminate) - ca. 0.1 mm coating thickness - nitrile rubber (NBR) - 0.4 mm coating thickness Suitable materials for short-term contact (recommended: At least protective index 2, corresponding > 30 minutes of permeation time according to EN ISO 374-1) - chloroprene rubber (CR) - 0.5 mm coating thickness Suitable materials against splashes (recommended: At least protective index 1, corresponding > 10 minutes of permeation time according to EN ISO 374-1) - butyl rubber (butyl) - 0.7 mm coating thickness Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing. Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types.

Eyes

Tightly fitting safety goggles (cage goggles) (e.g. EN 166) and face shield.

Respiratory

Respiratory protection in case of vapour/aerosol release. Suitable respiratory protection for higher concentrations or long-term effect: Self-contained breathing apparatus. Suitable respiratory protection for lower concentrations or short-term effect: Combination filter for gases/vapours of organic compounds and solid and liquid particles (f.e. EN 14387 Type A-P2) Consider the risk management measures as outlined in the exposure scenario.

Skin/Body

chemical-protection suit (f.e. according to EN 14605)
