4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Description of first aid measures
General advice
Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not breathe
dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. In case of accident or unwellness, seek medical
advice immediately (show directions for use or safety data sheet if possible).
Inhalation
IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable
for breathing. Vapors are heavier than air and can cause suffocation by reducing
oxygen available for breathing. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Get
medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.
Skin Contact
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all
contaminated clothes and shoes. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. If skin
irritation persists, call a physician.
Eye contact
Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and
upper eyelids. Consult a physician.
