SECTION 4: First aid measures

4.1 Description of first aid measures
General information:
In case of accident or unwellness, seek medical advice immediately (show directions for use or safety
data sheet if possible). Remove victim out of the danger area. If unconscious but breathing normally,
place in recovery position and seek medical advice. Do not leave affected person unattended.
Following inhalation:
Provide fresh air. In case of respiratory tract irritation, consult a physician.
In case of skin contact:
Rinse skin with water/shower. In case of skin irritation, consult a physician.
After eye contact:
Do not subject to friction. Rinse immediately carefully and thoroughly with eye-bath or water. In case of
eye irritation consult an ophthalmologist.
Following ingestion:
If swallowed, rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious). Get medical advice/attention if
you feel unwell.
