Material uses
Section IA. First Aid Measures
Eye contact
Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention.
Skin contact
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Cold water may be used. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly
clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention.
Hazardous skin
Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek
contact
immediate medical attention.
Slight inhalation
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.
