First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Remove victim to fresh air. If symptoms persist, get medical attention.

Symptoms: Dry/sore throat. Coughing. Slight irritation. Exposure to high concentrations: Irritation of the respiratory tract. Irritation of the nasal mucous membranes. Respiratory difficulties.

Skin contact

Rinse with water. Soap may be used. Do not apply (chemical) neutralizing agents. If symptoms persist, get medical attention.

Symptoms: Prolonged skin contact may cause irritation

Eye contact

Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. If symptoms persist, get medical attention.

Symptoms: Inflammation/damage of the eye tissue. Corrosion of the eye tissue. Lacrimation.

Ingestion

Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything to an unconscious victim. If symptoms occur, get medical attention.

Symptoms: Nausea. Vomiting. Abdominal pain. Irritation of the gastric/intestinal mucosa.

Immediate Medical Attention

Depending on the victim’s condition: transfer to doctor/hospital. If symptoms persist, get medical attention.
