First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Remove person to fresh air. If breathing stops, immediately apply artificial respiration. If breathing difficulties occur, use emergency breathing apparatus. If the symptoms persist, immediately consult a physician.

Symptoms: Depending on concentration and exposure time, irritation of the mucous membrane of the nose/throat may occur (burning sensation, urge to sneeze, and runny nose). Very high concentration may cause difficult breathing, shortness of breath, coughing fits, chest tightness, headache, vertigo, and narcosis.

Skin contact

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Immediately wash with plenty of water and soap for at least 20 minutes. Seek medical assistance if the symptoms of irritation remain.

Symptoms: Depending on concentration and exposure time, it may lead to redness, rough and cracked skin.

Eye contact

Rinse out with plenty of water with the eyelid held wide open for at least 15 minutes. If the symptoms remain, immediately call in ophthalmologist.

Symptoms: Depending on concentration and exposure time, mucosa stinging, lacrimation, redness and pain may occur, as well as bleeding, delayed onset of inflammations and permanent eyesight damage.

Ingestion

If the afflicted person is vomiting, there may be risk of aspiration. Keep the airways open. Respiratory failure my occur immediately after aspiration of vomited content. Immediately consult a physician and show the container or label. In case of swallowing large quantities, transport the afflicted person to the hospital.

Symptoms: Depending on concentration and exposure time, it may lead to stinging and digestive mucus damage, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, vertigo, headache.

Immediate Medical Attention

Immediately consult a physician and show the container or label. In case of swallowing large quantities, transport the afflicted person to the hospital.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Use the product in well ventilated rooms. Organization of work in order to reduce other worker's influence during work process. Secure proper workspace ventilation in order to keep concentration levels in air below permitted levels.

Hands

Protective gloves must be according to the Directive EU 2016/425 and standard EN 374. Full contact: Gloves material: Viton, Glove thickness: 0.70 mm, Time until perforation: >480 min. Splashing: Glove material: butyl rubber, Glove thickness: 0.70 mm, Time until perforation: > 10 min

Eyes

Safety glasses that stick to face (EN 166) or visor in case of lower levels of concentration in air, protective gas mask that covers the entire face in case of higher levels of concentration in air.

Respiratory

Full face mask (EN 136) or half mask (EN 140) equipped with a recommended "ABEK" filter (EN 14387) used when concentration levels exceed GVI.

Skin/Body

Wear full protective suit that protects from chemicals (EN 340) and shoes that cover the entire foot. Choose the protective clothes according to concentration and amount of hazardous substances present at workplace.

Environmental

See Section 6. Use modern equipment. Adapt the work process to the required working conditions of the workplace.
