Section IV. First Aid Measures
Eye Contact: Check for and remove any contact lenses. IMMEDIATELY flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping
eyelids open. COLD water may be used. DO NOT use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention. Treat symptomatically and
supportively.
Skin Contact: After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin,
particularly skin folds and creases, with running water and non-abrasive soap. COLD water may be used. Cover the irritated
skin with an emollient. Seek medical attention. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Wash any contaminated clothing
before reusing.
Inhalation: If the victim is not breathing, perform artifical respiration. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt, or waistband. If
breathing is difficult, oxygen can be administered. Seek medical attention. Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Ingestion: If the victim is not breathing, perform artifical respiration with a mouthguard. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain
whether the tissues are damaged, a possible indication that the toxic material was ingested; the absence of such signs,
however, is not conclusive. Seek immediate medical attention and, if possible, show the chemical label. Treat
symptomatically and supportively.
