First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Remove to fresh air. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Give artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. If signs/symptoms continue, get medical attention.

Skin contact

Wash skin with soap and water. Get medical attention.

Eye contact

Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contactlenses, if present, after the first five minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Get medical attention.

Ingestion

Rinse mouth. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.

Immediate Medical Attention

Get medical attention.

Medical Treatment

All treatments should be based on observed signs and symptoms of distress in the patient. Consideration should be given to the possibility that overexposure to materials other than this product may have occurred.

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Use good safety and industrial hygiene practices. Use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, or using tobacco.

Storage

Store according to product labeling.

Hygiene

Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, or using tobacco.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Good general ventilation should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.

Hands

In laboratory setting, wear gloves and lab coat at a minimum to minimize skin contact.

Eyes

Wear chemical splash safety goggles.

Respiratory

Respiratory equipment is not expected to be necessary if material is used under ordinary conditions and as recommended. Otherwise, follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or symptoms are experienced.

Skin/Body

In laboratory setting, wear gloves and lab coat at a minimum to minimize skin contact.

Environmental

Follow best practice for site management and disposal of waste.
