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. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.
