First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Move to fresh air. If unconscious place in recovery position and seek medical advice. If symptoms persist, call a physician.

Skin contact

Immediate medical treatment is necessary. If on skin, rinse well with water. If on clothes, remove clothes.

Symptoms: untreated wounds from corrosion of the skin heal slowly and with difficulty.

Eye contact

In the case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. Continue rinsing eyes during transport to hospital. Remove contact lenses. Protect unharmed eye. Keep eye wide open while rinsing. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.

Symptoms: Small amounts splashed into eyes can cause irreversible tissue damage and blindness.

Ingestion

Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. Keep respiratory tract clear. Do NOT induce vomiting. Do not give milk or alcoholic beverages. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If symptoms persist, call a physician. Take victim immediately to hospital.

Immediate Medical Attention

Take victim immediately to hospital. Immediate medical treatment is necessary for skin contact.

Medical Treatment

The first aid procedure should be established in consultation with the doctor responsible for industrial medicine.
