First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration or give oxygen by trained personnel. Get immediate medical attention.

Skin contact

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.

Eye contact

Hold eyelids apart and flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Have eyes examined and tested by medical personnel.

Ingestion

Wash out mouth with water provided person is conscious. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention. Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.

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

Suitable media

Use alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, water, or dry chemical spray.

Unsuitable media

A solid water stream may be inefficient.

Instructions

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.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

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).

Environmental

Take steps to avoid release into the environment, if safe to do so.

Cleanup methods

Transfer to a chemical waste container for disposal in accordance with local regulations.
