Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
General advice:
Immediate medical attention is required.
Move out of dangerous area.
Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
If inhaled:
If breathed in, move person into fresh air.
Consult a physician after significant exposure.
In case of skin contact:

Keep eye wide open while rinsing.
Small amounts splashed into eyes can cause irreversible tissue damage and blindness.
If swallowed:
Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Take victim immediately to hospital.
Do not induce vomiting! May cause chemical burns in mouth and throat.
