| 4. FIRST-AID MEASURES | |
DESCRIPTION OF FIRST AID MEASURES:
GENERAL ADVICE:
SHOW THIS SAFETY DATA SHEET TO THE DOCTOR IN ATTENDANCE. IMMEDIATE MEDICAL
ATTENTION IS REQUIRED.
INHALATION:
REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. ASPIRATION INTO LUNGS CAN PRODUCE SEVERE LUNG DAMAGE.
IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH SKIN. USE BARRIER TO GIVE
MOUTH-TO-MOUTH RESUSCITATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, (TRAINED
PERSONNEL SHOULD) GIVE OXYGEN. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ADVICE/ATTENTION.
DELAYED PULMONARY EDEMA MAY OCCUR. IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION IS
REQUIRED. DO NOT USE MOUTH-TO-MOUTH METHOD IF VICTIM INGESTED OR INHALED
THE SUBSTANCE; GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION WITH THE AID OF A POCKET MASK
EQUIPPED WITH A ONE-WAY VALVE OR OTHER PROPER RESPIRATORY MEDICAL DEVICE.
EYE CONTACT:
RINSE IMMEDIATELY WITH PLENTY OF WATER, ALSO UNDER THE EYELIDS, FOR AT
LEAST 15 MINUTES. KEEP EYE WIDE OPEN WHILE RINSING. DO NOT RUB AFFECTED
AREA. REMOVE CONTACT LENSES, IF PRESENT AND EASY TO DO. CONTINUE RINSING.
GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION DEVELOPS AND PERSISTS.
SKIN CONTACT:
WASH OFF IMMEDIATELY WITH SOAP AND PLENTY OF WATER WHILE REMOVING ALL
CONTAMINATED CLOTHES AND SHOES. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION
DEVELOPS AND PERSISTS.
INGESTION:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. CLEAN MOUTH WITH WATER AND DRINK AFTERWARDS
PLENTY OF WATER. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.
ASPIRATION HAZARD IF SWALLOWED - CAN ENTER LUNGS AND CAUSE DAMAGE. IF
VOMITING OCCURS SPONTANEOUSLY, KEEP HEAD BELOW HIPS TO PREVENT ASPIRATION.
GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ADVICE/ATTENTION.
SELF-PROTECTION OF THE FIRST AIDER:
REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION. ENSURE THAT MEDICAL PERSONNEL ARE AWARE OF
THE MATERIAL(S) INVOLVED, TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AND
PREVENT SPREAD OF CONTAMINATION. USE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AS
REQUIRED. SEE SECTION 8 FOR MORE INFORMATION. AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN,
EYES OR CLOTHING. DO NOT USE MOUTH-TO-MOUTH METHOD IF VICTIM INGESTED OR
INHALED THE SUBSTANCE; GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION WITH THE AID OF A
POCKET MASK EQUIPPED WITH A ONE-WAY VALVE OR OTHER PROPER RESPIRATORY
MEDICAL DEVICE. DO NOT BREATHE VAPOR OR MIST.
MOST IMPORTANT SYMPTOMS AND EFFECTS, BOTH ACUTE AND DELAYED:
SYMPTOMS:
DIFFICULTY IN BREATHING. COUGHING AND/ OR WHEEZING. DIZZINESS. INHALATION
OF HIGH VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE SYMPTOMS LIKE HEADACHE, DIZZINESS,
TIREDNESS, NAUSEA AND VOMITING.
INDICATION OF ANY IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION AND SPECIAL TREATMENT
NEEDED:
NOTE TO PHYSICIANS:
BECAUSE OF THE DANGER OF ASPIRATION, EMESIS OR GASTRIC LAVAGE SHOULD
NOT BE EMPLOYED UNLESS THE RISK IS JUSTIFIED BY THE PRESENCE OF ADDITIONAL
