YUBASE 8

Remove casualty to a quiet and well ventilated place if safe to do so. If the casualty is unconscious and not breathing: ensure that there is no obstruction to breathing and give artificial respiration by trained personnel. If necessary, give external cardiac massage and obtain medical assistance. If breathing: place in recovery position. Administer oxygen if necessary. Obtain medical assistance if breathing remains difficult.

Symptoms: irritation of the respiratory tract due to excess fumes, mists or vapour exposure.

Remove contaminated clothing and footwear, and dispose of safely. Wash affected area with soap and water. Seek medical attention if skin irritation, swelling or redness develops and persists. If high-pressure injuries occur, immediately seek professional medical attention. Do not wait for symptoms to develop. For minor thermal burns: cool the burn. Hold the burned area under cold running water for at least five minutes, or until the pain subsides. However, body hypothermia must be avoided. Do not put ice on the burn. Remove non-sticking garments carefully. DO NOT attempt to remove portions of clothing glued to burnt skin but cut round them. Seek medical attention in all cases of serious burns.

Symptoms: dry skin or irritation may arise in case of repeated or prolonged exposure. May cause burns in case of contact with product at high temperature.

Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do so. Continue rinsing. If irritation, blurred vision or swelling occurs and persists, obtain medical attention. If hot product is splashed into the eye, it should be cooled immediately to dissipate heat, under cold running water. Immediately seek specialist medical assessment and treatment for the casualty.

Symptoms: slight irritation (unspecific).

Always assume that aspiration has occurred. Seek professional medical attention or send the casualty to a hospital. Do not wait for symptoms to develop. Do not induce vomiting. Do not give anything to drink.

Symptoms: few or no symptoms expected, e.g. nausea and diarrhoea. Aspiration of low viscosity liquids into the lungs is a serious, potentially fatal, event. Aspiration may be recognized from the history of events, a smell of hydrocarbons on the breath, signs of vomiting or symptoms such as choking or coughing.

Foam (specifically trained personnel only). Water fog (specifically trained personnel only). Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide. Other inert gases (subject to regulations). Sand or earth.

Do not use direct water jets on the burning product as they could cause splattering and spread the fire. Simultaneous use of foam and water on the same surface is to be avoided as water destroys the foam.

Not classified as flammable, but will burn if involved in a fire.

Remove containers from fire or cool them with water spray.

Stop or contain leak at the source if safe to do so. Avoid direct contact with released material. Stay upwind. Keep unauthorised personnel away from the area of spillage. Alert emergency personnel. Except in case of small spillages, the feasibility of any actions should always be assessed and advised, if possible, by a trained, competent person in charge of managing the emergency.

Normal antistatic working clothes are usually adequate.

Full body suit of chemically resistant and antistatic material. Feasibility of any actions should always be assessed and advised, if possible, by a trained, competent person in charge of managing the emergency.
