Section 08 First Aid Procedures
Eyes: Flush eyes immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get
medical attention.
Skin: Wash thoroughly with plenty of soap and water. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth; give large quantities of milk or
water to dilute material. Get medical attention immediately.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, oxygen may be given. Call
a physician.
Effects of Chronic (prolonged) Exposure: Prolonged or repeated skin contact can result in burns. Smoke
during soldering can irritate eyes and can cause respiratory system
irritation and damage.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Chemical hypersensitivity, asthma and other
respiratory conditions.
Section 09 Special Handling Information
Ventilation: Provide adequate exhaust ventilation (general and/or local) if necessary
to meet exposure requirements. Local exhaust ventilation is preferred to
minimize dispersion of smoke and fumes into the work area.
Respiratory Protection: Only required if ventilation is inadequate. Use a NIOSH approved
respirator.
Eye Protection: Wear safety goggles.
Skin Protection: Wear rubber/PVC gloves if there is a danger of skin contact.
Other Protective Clothing/Equipment: Impermeable apron when splashing is likely to occur.
Hygienic Work Practices: Wash hands thoroughly before eating or smoking.
