4. First-aid measures
4.1 General information
When in doubt or if symptoms are observed, get medical advice. If unconscious place in recovery position and seek
medical advice. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person or a person with cramps. Change
contaminated, saturated clothing. Do not leave affected person unattended.
2 - 11
4.2 After inhalation
Remove casualty to fresh air and keep warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial
respiration. In case of respiratory tract irritation, consult a physician.
4.3 In case of skin contact
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. Remove contaminated, saturated clothing
immediately. In case of skin reactions, consult a physician.
4.4 After eye contact
In case of contact with eyes flush immediately with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes holding eyelids apart
and consult an ophthalmologist. Protect uninjured eye. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue
rinsing.
4.5 After ingestion
If accidentally swallowed rinse the mouth with plenty of water (only if the person is conscious) and obtain immediate
medical attention. Do not induce vomiting. Give nothing to eat or drink.
