4. First aid measures
4.1. Description of first aid measures
General
In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation
Remove to fresh air, keep patient warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or stopped, give
artificial respiration. If unconscious place in the recovery position and obtain immediate
medical attention. Give nothing by mouth.
Eyes
Irrigate copiously with clean water for at least 15 minutes, holding the eyelids apart and
seek medical attention.
Skin
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use a
recognized skin cleanser.
Ingestion
Ingestion can cause a laxative effect. If liquid material enters into the lungs, it can cause
severe damage.
4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Overview
Ingestion can cause a laxative effect. If liquid material enters into the lungs, it can cause
severe damage. See section 2 for further details.

Do not allow spills to enter drains or waterways.
Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet. Promptly remove
soiled clothing and wash thoroughly before reuse.
6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Stop the source of the release if you can do it without risk. Contain release to prevent further contamination of soil,
surface water or groundwater. Clean up spill as soon as possible, observing precautions in Exposure Controls/
Personal Protection. Use appropriate techniques such as applying non-combustible absorbent materials or pumping.
Where feasible and appropriate, remove contaminated soil. Place contaminated materials in disposable containers
and dispose of in a manner consistent with applicable regulations.
Reporting: Report spills to local authorities as appropriate or required. (over 3 gallons)

Engineering Controls
Provide adequate ventilation. Where reasonably practicable this should be achieved by the
use of local exhaust ventilation and good general extraction. If these are not sufficient to
maintain concentrations of particulates and any vapor below occupational exposure limits
suitable respiratory protection must be worn.
Other Work Practices
Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking or
using toilet. Promptly remove soiled clothing and wash thoroughly before reuse.
