SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES 

General advice : First aider needs to protect himself.

Inhalation : Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If 

breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Use oxygen as required, 

provided a qualified operator is present. Call a physician.

Skin contact : Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while 

removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. First treatment 

with calcium gluconate paste. Call a physician immediately.

Eye contact : Protect unharmed eye. Irrigate eyes for at least 15 minutes with 

copious quantities of water, keeping eyelids apart and away 

from eyeballs during irrigation. Call a physician.
