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. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream.
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 use an eye ointment.
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). If irritation persists, seek medical attention (for skin contact). Seek medical attention (for serious skin contact). Seek immediate medical attention (for inhalation). Seek immediate medical attention (for ingestion).
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder. LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, fog or foam.
Do not use water jet.
May be combustible at high temperature. Slightly flammable to flammable in presence of open flames and sparks, of heat.
SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder. LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, fog or foam. Do not use water jet.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements.
Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system.
