First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove victim to fresh air. If there is difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention.
Flush area with water. If irritation persists seek medical attention. Launder clothing before reuse.
Flush eyes with water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
Give two glasses of water. Do not induce vomiting. Lay victim on left side to prevent aspiration of any vomit. Seek immediate medical attention.
Immediate Medical Attention
Seek immediate medical attention.
Medical Treatment
Treatment is required within the first three hours of exposure. High proof whisky can be administered prior to hospitalization if treatment is delayed. Haemodialysis is the most effective means of removing ethylene glycol and its metabolites form the body.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, and water spray.
Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapours. Keep product and empty container away from heat and sources of ignition.
Firefighter Protection
Fire-fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Use water spray to cool containers and structures exposed to fire.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not inhale vapours or spray mist. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
Prevent entry of spilled materials into sewers or watercourses. Dike if required.
collect spilled material by pumping into holding vessel or by soaking up on absorbent material, then shovelling into an appropriate container for disposal. Area will be slippery with residues, wash area with water.
Materials: absorbent material
