FIRST AID

Eye Contact: Remove contact lenses. Flush eyes with water for at least 15
minutes immediately.*
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Flush skin with water for at least
15 minutes immediately. Use emollient.*
Serious Skin Contact: Wash with soap and use anti-bacterial cream.*
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen.*
Serious Inhalation: Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible.
Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If breathing is
difficult, administer oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.*
Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so. Never give
anything by mouth to unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing.*
