4. First-aid measures
Description of necessary first aid measures
Inhalation Move into fresh air and keep at rest. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.
Skin contact Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. If irritation persists get medical attention.
Eye contact Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do, remove contact lenses.
If eye irritation persists, get medical advice/attention.
Ingestion Rinse mouth thoroughly. Never give liquid to an unconscious person. Do not induce vomiting. If
vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that stomach vomit doesn't enter the lungs. Get
medical attention if any discomfort continues.
Personal protection for first-aid If you feel unwell, seek medical advice (show the label where possible). Ensure that medical
