SECTION 4: First aid measures
4.1 General information
When in doubt or if symptoms are observed, get medical advice. If unconscious place in recovery position and seek medical
advice. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person or a person with cramps. Change contaminated, saturated
clothing. Do not leave affected person unattended.
In case of inhalation
Remove casualty to fresh air and keep warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. In
case of respiratory tract irritation, consult a physician.
In case of skin contact
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. Remove contaminated, saturated clothing immediately.
In case of skin reactions, consult a physician.
After eye contact
In case of contact with eyes flush immediately with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes holding eyelids apart and consult
an ophthalmologist. Protect uninjured eye. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
In case of ingestion
If accidentally swallowed rinse the mouth with plenty of water (only if the person is conscious) and obtain immediate medical
attention. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give nothing to eat or drink.

Personal protection equipment (PPE)
Wear suitable protective clothing. When handling with chemical substances, protective clothing must be worn.
Eye/face protection
Eye glasses with side protection
Skin protection
Wear suitable gloves. When handling with chemical substances, protective gloves must be worn. In the case of wanting to use the
gloves again, clean them before taking off and air them well. Check leak tightness/impermeability prior to use.
