4. First Aid Measures

space

First aid procedures

Eye contact In case of eye contact, remove contact lens and rinse immediately with plenty of water,
space
also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
Skin contact Immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing
space
and shoes. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
Inhalation Move to fresh air. Keep victim warm. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical
attention immediately. If the affected person is not breathing, apply artificial respiration.
Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim inhaled the substance. Induce artificial
respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper
space
respiratory medical device.
Ingestion DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If swallowed, rinse mouth with water (only if the person is
conscious). Give several glasses of water to dilute contents of stomach and call a
space
physician.
General advice Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions
to protect themselves. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist.

6. Accidental Release Measures

space

Personal precautions Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate
space
protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Evacuation procedures Keep unnecessary personnel away. Stay upwind. Ventilate closed spaces before entering.
space
Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.
Environmental precautions Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not flush into surface water or
space
sanitary sewer system.
Methods for containment Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. Stop the flow of
space
material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible.
Methods for cleaning up Large Spills: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Absorb with earth, sand or
other non-combustible material and transfer to containers for later disposal.

Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean contaminated
surface thoroughly.

Never return spills in original containers for re-use.
