Section IV.First Aid Measures
Check for and remove any contact lenses. DO NOT use an eye ointment. Flush eyes with running water for a minimum of 15
Eye Contact
minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Seek medical attention. Treat symptomatically and supportively.
If the chemical gets spilled on a clothed portion of the body, remove the contaminated clothes as quickly as possible,
Skin Contact
protecting your own hands and body. Place the victim under a deluge shower. If the chemical touches the victim's exposed
skin, such as the hands: Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin with running water and non-abrasive soap. Be
particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Seek medical
attention. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Wash any contaminated clothing before reusing.
If the victim is not breathing, perform artificial respiration. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If
Inhalation
breathing is difficult, oxygen can be administered. Seek medical attention. Treat symptomatically and supportively.
IngestionRemove dentures if any. Have conscious person drink several glasses of water or milk. INDUCE VOMITING by sticking
finger in throat. Lower the head so that the vomit will not reenter the mouth and throat. NEVER give an unconscious person
anything to ingest. Seek medical attention. Treat symptomatically and supportively.
