SECTION 4: First aid measures
4.1.
Description of first aid measures
First-aid measures general
: Check the vital functions. Unconscious: maintain adequate airway and respiration. Respiratory
arrest: artificial respiration or oxygen. Cardiac arrest: perform resuscitation. Victim conscious
with laboured breathing: half-seated. Victim in shock: on his back with legs slightly raised.
Vomiting: prevent asphyxia/aspiration pneumonia. Prevent cooling by covering the victim (no
warming up). Keep watching the victim. Give psychological aid. Keep the victim calm, avoid
physical strain. Depending on the victim's condition: doctor/hospital.
First-aid measures after inhalation
: Remove the victim into fresh air. Respiratory problems: consult a doctor/medical service.
First-aid measures after skin contact
: Wash immediately with lots of water. Do not apply (chemical) neutralizing agents. Take victim
to a doctor if irritation persists.
First-aid measures after eye contact
: Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Do not apply neutralizing agents. Take victim to an
ophthalmologist if irritation persists.
First-aid measures after ingestion
: Rinse mouth with water. Immediately after ingestion: give lots of water to drink. Victim is fully
conscious: immediately induce vomiting. Induce vomiting by giving a 0.9 % saline solution. Call
Poison Information Centre (www.big.be/antigif.htm). Consult a doctor/medical service if you feel
unwell. Ingestion of large quantities: immediately to hospital.
4.2.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Symptoms/injuries after inhalation
: Irritation of the respiratory tract. Irritation of the nasal mucous membranes.
Symptoms/injuries after skin contact
: Tingling/irritation of the skin.
Symptoms/injuries after eye contact
: Irritation of the eye tissue.
Symptoms/injuries after ingestion
: Nausea. Vomiting. Irritation of the gastric/intestinal mucosa.
