| 4. FIRST AID MEASURES | |
INHALATION:
REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE AND MOVE TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. ENCOURAGE THE

MEDICAL AID IF COUGH OR OTHER SYMPTOMS APPEAR.
SKIN CONTACT:
WET CLOTHING FIRST TO MINIMIZE DUST GENERATION, THEN; REMOVE CONTAMINATED
CLOTHING AND SHOES. LAUNDER CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE WEARING AGAIN.
WASH AFFECTED AREA WITH WATER (AND SOAP IF AVAILABLE) GET MEDICAL AID IN
THE EVENT OF IRRITATION.
EYE CONTACT:
DO NOT RUB EYES, RUBBING MAY CAUSE ABRASIONS. FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF
WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES, OCCASIONALLY LIFTING THE UPPER AND LOWER
EYELIDS. GET MEDICAL AID.
