First Aid

Begin by examining the affected individual for contact lenses, removing them if found, then rinse their eyes with water or saline for 20-30 minutes. During this, seek medical advice and avoid applying any substances to the eyes without a doctor's directive. Ensure the person receives medical attention promptly, irrespective of visible symptoms.

If skin contact occurs, immediately rinse the area with water, remove any contaminated clothing, and cleanse the skin with soap. Should any irritation manifest, contact a medical professional without delay and arrange for hospital transport.

For inhalation exposure, the individual should leave the contaminated vicinity immediately to breathe clean air. If any respiratory symptoms appear, medical assistance should be sought immediately, and the person prepared for hospital transport. Rescuers should wear appropriate respiratory protection, prioritizing the use of an SCBA when possible.

In cases of ingestion, do not induce vomiting. If the person is conscious and not having seizures, provide them with water to help dilute the ingested substance and immediately contact a medical facility. If the individual is unconscious or convulsing, ensure they are positioned to keep their airway open but do not administer anything by mouth, and seek immediate medical transport.

These guidelines stress the importance of quick and appropriate actions following exposure to hazardous substances, highlighting the need for immediate medical consultation and intervention for eye, skin, inhalation, and ingestion exposures. (NTP, 1992)
