4. FIRST AID MEASURES

General advice : Move out of dangerous area.

Do not leave the victim unattended.
Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.

If inhaled : If breathed in, move person into fresh air.

If it is suspected that fumes are still present, the rescuer
should wear an appropriate mask or self-contained breathing
apparatus.
If unconscious, place in recovery position and seek medical
advice.
If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest
occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained per-
sonnel.
Keep respiratory tract clear.
Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
If symptoms persist, call a physician.

In case of skin contact : If on skin, rinse well with water.

Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately.
If symptoms persist, call a physician.

In case of eye contact
: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting
the upper and lower eyelids.
Keep eye wide open while rinsing.
Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes.
Remove contact lenses.
Protect unharmed eye.
If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.
