SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Eye contact
Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes.
A victim may need assistance in keeping their eye lids open.
Get immediate medical attention.
Skin contact
Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Immediately remove contaminated clothing, and any extraneous chemical, if possible to do so without delay.
Inhalation
Remove the victim to fresh air.
Closely monitor the victim for signs of respiratory problems, such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain.
In such cases seek immediate medical assistance.
Ingestion
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Immediately give large quantities of water to drink.
Induce vomiting if person is conscious. Prevent aspiration of vomit.
Turn victim's head to the side.
Indication of immediate medical attention and notes for physician
Seek medical advice. If breathing has stopped or is labored, give assisted respirations. Supplemental oxygen may be indicated.
If the heart has stopped, trained personnel should begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation
immediately.

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection.
Use self-contained breathing apparatus and chemically protective clothing.
Remove all sources of ignition.
Evacuate personnel to safe areas.
Environmental precautions and protective procedures
Do not allow material to enter drains or streams.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Approach suspected leak areas with caution.
Absorb with inert absorbent materials such as: Dry sand, Vermiculite, Activated charcoal.
