Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Inhalation

Move exposed person to fresh air. 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. Get medical attention if adverse health effects persist

or are severe. 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.

Ingestion: Wash out mouth with water. 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. Get medical attention. 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.

Skin contact: Wash contaminated skin with soap and water. Remove

contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if

symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes

thoroughly before reuse.

Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the

upper and lower eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses.

Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation occurs.
