Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
Inhalation Exposure
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Symptoms:
irritation
Eye Contact
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Symptoms:
irritation

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
Engineering Controls
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. Well designed and maintained scavenging system on the anesthesia equipment (combined with a good general room ventilation) is important in limiting the exposures of all personnel.
Hand Protection
Use chemical resistant, impervious gloves.
Eye Protection
Normal final product use: wear safety glasses during the vaporizer filling process. Use in manufacturing or laboratory setting: safety glasses with face shield, chemical splash goggles, or other full face protection should be available for use if potential exists for splashes.
Respiratory Protection
Personal respiratory protection equipment not typically required if engineering controls are in place. If exposure levels may exceed regulatory limits, implement a respiratory protection program including respiratory protection that is in compliance with OSHA 29 CFR1910.134 (in the US) or equivalent regulation in other regions.
Skin/Body Protection
Work uniform or laboratory coat. Additional body garments should be used based upon the task being performed (e.g., sleevelets, apron, gauntlets, disposable suits).
