First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

If breathed in, move person into fresh air. Call a physician or poison control centre immediately. Remove to fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest. If unconscious, place in recovery position and seek medical advice. Keep respiratory tract clear.

Symptoms: May cause respiratory irritation.

Skin contact

Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Immediate medical treatment is necessary as untreated wounds from corrosion of the skin heal slowly and with difficulty. If skin irritation persists, call a physician.

Symptoms: Harmful if in contact with skin. May cause an allergic skin reaction. Causes severe burns.

Eye contact

Rinse with plenty of water. Get medical attention immediately. Continue to rinse during transport. Remove contact lenses. Protect unharmed eye. Keep eye wide open while rinsing.

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

Ingestion

Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Take victim immediately to hospital. Do not induce vomiting!

Symptoms: Harmful if swallowed. May cause chemical burns in mouth and throat.

Immediate Medical Attention

Immediate medical attention is required.

Medical Treatment

Immediate medical treatment is necessary as untreated wounds from corrosion of the skin heal slowly and with difficulty.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

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

Specific hazards

Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.

Firefighter Protection

In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Use personal protective equipment. Wear respiratory protection. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Only qualified personnel equipped with suitable protective equipment may intervene. Prevent unauthorised persons entering the zone.

Environmental

Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.

Cleanup methods

collect with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local / national regulations (see section 13).

Materials: non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite)
