First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Provide fresh air. Keep at rest. In case of doubt or persistent symptoms, consult always a physician.

Symptoms: May cause respiratory irritation.

Skin contact

No adverse effects are expected. Remove mechanically (e.g. dab away using wadding or cellulose material) then thoroughly wash the affected skin with a mild cleansing agent and water. Call a physician if irritation develops or persists.

Symptoms: May be irritating.

Eye contact

Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Call a physician if irritation develops or persists.

Symptoms: Mechanical irritation of the eyes is possible.

Ingestion

Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person or a person with cramps. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately.

Symptoms: No adverse effects are expected. May cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.

Engineering

Provide adequate ventilation. Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation. Avoid dust formation. !CIRCULAR REFERENCE!. Organisational measures to prevent /limit releases, dispersion and exposure. See also section 7.

Hands

Not required for normal conditions of use. Impervious gloves . The selection of specific gloves for a specific application and time of use in a working area, should also take into account other factors on the working space, such as (but not limited to): other chemicals that are possibly used, physical requirements (protection against cutting/drilling, skill, thermal protection), and the instructions/specification of the supplier of gloves.

Eyes
