| SECTION IV - FIRST AID MEASURES | |
INHALATION:
ENSURE THE VICTIM'S CLOTHING OR SKIN HAS NOT BEEN CONTAMINATED BY THE ACID
BEFORE REMOVING THE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR. IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED, BEGIN
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. CALL AMBULANCE IMMEDIATELY FOR ASSISTANCE.
EYE CONTACT:
FLUSH EYES WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES WITH COPIOUS COOL FLOWING WATER. IF
ONLY ONE EYE IS AFFECTED, BE CAREFUL NOT TO FLUSH CONTAMINATED WATER INTO

OF EXPOSURE, ARRANGE FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL ASSISTANCE WHILE THE VICTIM IS
BEING RINSED WITH WATER. IMMEDIATELY AFTER FLUSHING WITH WATER, BEGIN
MASSAGING CALCIUM GLUCONATE GEL INTO THE BURN SITE. APPLY THE GEL EVERY 15
MINUTES AND MASSAGE UNTIL PAIN/REDNESS RESOLVES OR UNTIL MEDICAL CARE IS
