Check for and remove any contact lenses. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes. Get medical
attention immediately.
Inhalation Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If it is suspected
that fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate mask or self-contained breathing
apparatus. 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.
Get medical attention. If necessary, call a poison center or physician. 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. In case of inhalation of decomposition products in a
fire, symptoms may be delayed. The exposed person may need to be kept under medical
surveillance for 48 hours.
Skin contact Wash with plenty of soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash
contaminated clothing thoroughly with water before removing it, or wear gloves. Continue to rinse for
at least 10 minutes. Get medical attention. In the event of any complaints or symptoms, avoid further
exposure. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.
Ingestion Wash out mouth with water. Remove dentures if any. Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in
a position comfortable for breathing. 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. Get medical
attention. If necessary, call a poison center or physician. 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.
