Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

After skin contact:
Wash with large volumes of soap an water fo at least 15 minutes. If irritation develops, get medical attention.

After eye contact:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes or skin with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.

In case of indisposition, seek medical attention. In case of prolonged exposure, seek medical attention.

Ingestion:
Immediately give plenty (>500 ml) of water (If possible charcoal slurry). In case of spontaneous vomiting be sure that vomito can freely drain due of danger of suffocation. Give water repeatedly. Artificial induction of vomiting should be restricted to first aid staff. Give nothing by mouth in cases of unconsciousness or convulsion. Seek medical advice.
