fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate mask or self-contained
breathing apparatus. Keep person warm and at rest. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular
or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel.
It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If
unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an
open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
: Get medical attention immediately. Wash out mouth with water. Remove dentures if any.
Ingestion
Move exposed person to fresh air. Keep person warm and at rest. If material has been
swallowed and the exposed person is conscious, give small quantities of water to drink.
Stop if the exposed person feels sick as vomiting may be dangerous. Do not induce
vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. If vomiting occurs, the head should
be kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention
immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or
waistband.
: No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. If it is
