First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Allow the victim to rest in a well ventilated area.
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin with running water and non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. Cold water may be used. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. For serious skin contact: Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream.
Symptoms: irritated skin
Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Cold water may be used.
Do not induce vomiting. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Immediate Medical Attention
Seek medical attention for eye contact, skin contact, and serious skin contact. Seek immediate medical attention for inhalation and ingestion.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
