    First Aid-Ingestion: Barite is considered to be relatively non-toxic due to non-absorption.
    First Aid-Inhalation: Remove from exposure to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, perform artificial respiration and get
    medical attention immediately. Keep person warm and at rest. Treat symptomatically and
    supportively.
    Emergency Eye Wash: When there is a possibility that an employee’s eyes may be exposed to bulk quantities or
    high concentrations of airborne dust of this substance, the employer should provide an eye wash fountain within
