First-aid measures
Health Hazards:
Corrosive. Causes severe eye and skin burns. Serious health hazard. May be harmful if absorbed through skin or inhaled.
Inhalation causes severe irritation of respiratory system. Liquid causes severe burns of eyes and skin. Ingestion causes severe burns of mouth and stomach.
SKIN, EYE AND RESPIRATORY IRRITATIONS Inhalation causes severe irritation of respiratory system.
Trichlorosilane is a highly flammable corrosive liquid. Its contact with water produces toxic gas, may be fatal if inhalled.
Inhalation or contact with vapours, substance or decomposition products may cause severe injury or death.
Inhalation: Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention .
The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential. Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered
Eye and Skin Contact: Corrosive, causing damage to skin, eyes and air passages.
In case of contact with substance, wipe from skin immediately; flash skin or eyes with running water for at least 20 minutes.
Skin:Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention.
Eyes: First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give nothing to drink. Refer for medical attention.
Keep affected person warm and quiet. Get medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures
FIRE POTENTIAL A very dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat, flame, or by chemical reaction.
Fire Hazards:
Fire or Explosion: Produce flammable and toxic gases on contact with water. May ignite on contact with water or moist air. React vigorously or explosively on contact with water. May be ignited by heat, sparks or flames. May re-ignite after fire is extinguished.
Extinguishing agents:
Extinguish with dry agent. Do not use water or foam to extinguish.
Small fires: Use dry chemical, soda ash, lime or sand.
Large fires: Dry sand, dry chemical, soda ash or lime
Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.
Runoff from fire control may cause pollution.
Fire fighters may enter the area only if they are protected from all contact with the material. Full protective clothing, including self-contained breathing apparatus, coat, pants, gloves, boots, and bands around legs, arms, and waist, should be provided. No skin surface should be exposed.
OTHER FIRE FIGHTING HAZARDS The vapor is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible.
Vapor/air mixtures are explosive.

Accidental release measures
Spillage:
DO NOT CLEAN-UP OR DISPOSE OF, EXCEPT UNDER SUPERVISION OF A SPECIALIST.
Fully encapsulating, vapour protective clothing should be worn for spills and leaks with no fire.
Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area).
Stop leaks if it is possible to do without risk.
Do not touch or walk through spilled material.
Do not get water on spilled substance or inside containers.
Contain spillage by any means available.
Check explosive limits.
Use low sparking hand tools and intrinsically safe equipment.
Absorb liquid in dry sand or any other suitable material.
Use water spray to reduce vapors or divert vapour cloud drift. Avoid allowing water runoff to contact spilled material.
Small spills: Cover with dry earth, dry sand, or other non combustible material followed with plastic sheet to minimize with plastic sheet to minimize spreading or contact with rain. Dike for later disposal; do not apply water unless directed to do so.
Evacuation: If material leaking (not on fire) consider evacuation from downwind area based on amount of material spilled, location and weather conditions.

Exposure controls / personal protection
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT & CLOTHING: Positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.
Acid-vapor-type respiratory protection; rubber gloves; chemical workers goggles; other protective equipment as necessary to protect skin and eyes.
Local exhaust ventilation should be applied wherever there is an incidence of point source emissions or dispersion of regulated contaminants in the work area. Ventilation control of the contaminant as close to its point of generation is both the most economical and safest method to minimize personnel exposure to airborne contaminants.
