First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
If breathed in, move person into fresh air. Consult a physician after significant exposure.
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.
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: Small amounts splashed into eyes can cause irreversible tissue damage and blindness.
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: May cause chemical burns in mouth and throat.
Immediate Medical Attention
Immediate medical attention is required. Get medical attention immediately. Take victim immediately to hospital.
