| 4. FIRST AID MEASURES | |
FIRST AID MEASURES:
GENERAL ADVICE: FIRST AID IS UPON RUPTURE OF SEALED BATTERY.
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. SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION/ADVICE. REMOVE CONTACT LENSES, IF
PRESENT AND EASY TO DO. CONTINUE RINSING.
SKIN CONTACT:
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION IS REQUIRED. WASH OFF IMMEDIATELY WITH SOAP
AND PLENTY OF WATER WHILE REMOVING ALL CONTAMINATED CLOTHES AND SHOES.
INHALATION:
REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST, CALL A PHYSICIAN. IF BREATHING
HAS STOPPED, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION
IMMEDIATELY. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. AVOID DIRECT
CONTACT WITH SKIN. USE BARRIER TO GIVE MOUTH-TO-MOUTH RESUSCITATION. IF
BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, (TRAINED PERSONNEL SHOULD) GIVE OXYGEN. SEEK
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION/ADVICE. DELAYED PULMONARY EDEMA MAY OCCUR.
INGESTION:
