Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

4.1 Description of first aid measures

General advice:
Move out of dangerous area. Consult a physician. Treat symptomatically. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Protection of first-aiders:
First Aid responders should pay attention to self-protection and use the recommended protective clothing
Avoid inhalation, ingestion and contact with skin and eyes.

It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

If inhaled:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air.
Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

In case of skin contact:
Immediate medical treatment is necessary as untreated wounds from corrosion of the skin heal slowly and with difficulty.
If on skin, rinse well with water.
If on clothes, remove clothes.

In case of eye contact:
Small amounts splashed into eyes can cause irreversible tissue damage and blindness.
In the case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
