EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
[SKIN CONTACT]:
IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing
and isolating all contaminated clothing. Gently wash all affected
skin areas thoroughly with soap and water. If symptoms such
as redness or irritation develop, IMMEDIATELY call a physician
and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital for
treatment.
[INHALATION]:
IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths
of fresh air. If symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness
of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop,
call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to
a hospital. Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers
entering an unknown atmosphere. Whenever possible, Self-Contained
Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be used; if not available,
use a level of protection greater than or equal to that advised
under Respirator Recommendation.
[EYE CONTACT]:
First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present.
Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for
20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or
poison control center.
Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's
eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY
transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even
if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.
[INGESTION]:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If the victim is conscious and not
convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute the chemical
and IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center.
Be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital if advised
by a physician. If the victim is convulsing or unconscious,
do not give anything by mouth, ensure that the victim's airway
is open and lay the victim on his/her side with the head lower
than the body. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IMMEDIATELY transport
the victim to a hospital. |
