First-aid measures

4.1 Description of first aid measures

General notes       Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.

             Symptoms may develop several hours following exposure; medical observation therefore necessary for              at least 48 hours.

             In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical advice.

Following inhalation       Provide fresh air.

             If breathing is irregular or stopped, immediately seek medical assistance and start first aid actions.

Following skin contact       Wash with plenty of soap and water.

Following eye contact       Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes.

             Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.

             If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.

Following ingestion       Rinse mouth immediately and drink plenty of water.

             Call a physician in any case.

                    Use local and general ventilation.

                    Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.

                    Take precautionary measures against static discharge.

                    Handle and open container with care.

                    Removal of dust deposits.

                    Only vacuum cleaners containing no ignition sources may be used for combustible                            dusts.

                    Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting/equipment.

                    Use only non-sparking tools.

Specific notes/details              Layers, deposits and heaps of combustible dust must be considered, like any other                            source which can form a hazardous explosive atmosphere.

                    Dust deposits may accumulate on all deposition surfaces in a technical room.

Handling of incompatible substances or mixtures

                    Do not mix with acids.

                    Do not mix with alkali.

                    Do not mix with oxidiser

Measures to protect the environment       Avoid release to the environment.

Advice on general occupational hygiene

                    Do not eat, drink and smoke in work areas.

                    Wash hands after use.

                    Preventive skin protection (barrier creams/ointments) is recommended.

                    Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.

7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Explosive atmospheres              Removal of dust deposits.

                    Only vacuum cleaners containing no ignition sources may be used for combustible                            dusts.
