INHALATION: Remove person to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing difficult give oxygen. Get medical attention.
INGESTION: If conscious, give person 1 to 2 glasses of water. Get medical attention immediately.
Fire-fighting measures
GENERAL HAZARD: Combustible liquid.
FIRE FIGHTING: Firefighters should have eye protection and wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Use water spray to cool containers exposed to fire.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Alcohol foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, water spray for dilution to non-flammable mixture.
DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS UNDER FIRE CONDITIONS: Combustion produces carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.
Accidental release measures
LAND SPILL: Pick up spill on sand, earth or other non-combustible, absorbent material. Flush area with water to remove last traces. Collect wash water/material for disposal. Wear all appropriate personal protective equipment.
Handling and storage
STORAGE AND HANDLING: Store in cool, dry, well ventilated location. Outside or detached storage is preferred.
Separate from oxidizers. Keep containers tightly closed. No smoking or eating in handling area.
