4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Swallowing
Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to
do so by the poison control center or doctor. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation
Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial respiration, preferably by mouth-to-mouth, if possible. Call a
poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice.
Skin contact
Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15 to 20 minutes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
Eye contact
Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove contact lens, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye.
Call a poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice.

PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory protection
In the absence of engineering controls sufficient to maintain airborne concentrations below recommended occupational exposure limit values, appropriate
respiratory protection should be utilized., The determination of appropriate respiratory protection is best performed, on a case by case basis, taking into
consideration the exposure conditions of the particular operation.
The respirator manufacturer should be consulted to ensure that the air-purifying cartridges utilized will provide adequate protection for the exposure conditions and
period of wear concerned.
For emergency conditions where the exposure limit may be greatly exceeded, use an approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.
Hand protection / protective gloves
Chemical resistant protective gloves
Eye protection
Full face shield.
Skin protection
Chemical resistant protective clothing.
Industrial hygiene measures
Before eating, drinking or smoking, wash hands and face thoroughly with soap and water.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Ventilation
Provide local exhaust or process enclosure ventilation system.
