arrest: artificial respiration or oxygen. Cardiac arrest: perform resuscitation. Victim conscious
with labored 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.

to a doctor if irritation persists.
First-aid measures after eye contact : Rinse with water. Do not apply neutralizing agents. Take victim to an ophthalmologist if irritation
persists.
First-aid measures after ingestion : Rinse mouth with water. Give nothing to drink. Victim is fully conscious: immediately induce
vomiting. Immediately consult a doctor/medical service. Call Poison Information Centre
(www.big.be/antigif.htm). Ingestion of large quantities: immediately to hospital.
