INHALATION:
IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED, PERFORM ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION AND OBTAIN MEDICAL
ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY! IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, PROVIDE FRESH AIR AND
CALL PHYSICIAN.
SKIN CONTACT:
FOR SKIN BURNS FROM ARC RADIATION, PROMPTLY FLUSH WITH COLD WATER. GET
MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR BURNS OR IRRITATIONS THAT PERSIST. TO REMOVE DUST
OR PARTICLES WASH WITH MILD SOAP AND WATER.
EYE CONTACT:
FOR RADIATION BURNS DUE TO ARC FLASH, SEE PHYSICIAN. TO REMOVE DUSTS
OR FUMES FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST FIFTEEN MINUTES. IF IRRITATION
PERSISTS, OBTAIN MEDICAL ASSISTANCE.
