Like all other toxics, EB should be used in a specially designated area where no eating or drinking is allowed. When using ultraviolet light to visualize EB, the user must wear UV-blocking eyewear or work in a UV cabinet with shielding glass in place. If EB contacts the eyes, immediately flush them with copious amounts of cold water for at least 15 minutes. For skin contact, immediately wash the affected area with soap and copious amounts of cold or cool water. If a person inhales EB dust, move him to an area where he can breathe fresh air.
Large Spill Notify all others in the room that the spill has occurred.
Provide any assistance and information you can to the spill responders. Small Spill Always wear full protective clothing, as described above, during any cleanup procedure. You should only clean up spills if you are aware of the hazards and have the proper safety and cleanup equipment. If the spill is powder, carefully wipe it up with wet paper towels and follow the decontamination procedure below. If the EB spill is liquid, absorb freestanding liquid with dry paper towels.
