4 - First aid measures

Skin:

Remove contaminated clothes as soon as possible. Remove residue substance as soon as possible (e.g. rinse with plenty of water). In case of a serious exposure call for a doctor.

Ingestion:

If victim is conscious let him drink 1 or 2 glasses of water. In case of general disorders bring victim into the hospital, otherwise call for a doctor.

Inhalation:

Bring victim into the fresh air as soon as possible and let rest. In case of severe exposure call for a doctor. In case of breathing problems, loose squeezing clothes and if victim is conscious bring victim in high sitting position. In case of stagnation of breathing give IMMEDIATELY oxygen and transport to hospital as soon as possible.

Eyes:

Rinse for a long time with plenty of water. In case of eye-sight disturbances bring victim immediately into the hospital, in other cases call for a doctor
