First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration or give oxygen by trained personnel. Get immediate medical attention.
Immediately wash skin with soap and plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse.
Hold eyelids apart and flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Have eyes examined and tested by medical personnel.
Wash out mouth with water provided person is conscious. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Immediate Medical Attention
Get immediate medical attention (inhalation). Get medical attention if symptoms occur (skin). Have eyes examined and tested by medical personnel (eyes). Get medical attention (ingestion).
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, water, or dry chemical spray.
Avoid water stream may be inefficient.
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers.
Firefighter Protection
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand (NIOSH approved or equivalent), and full protective gear to prevent contact with skin and eyes.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
As conditions warrant, wear a NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus, or respirator, and appropriate personal protection (rubber boots, safety goggles, and heavy rubber gloves).
Take steps to avoid release into the environment, if safe to do so.
Transfer to a chemical waste container
