4. FIRST AID MEASURES
First aid providers must take proper precautions for their own safety before
entering contaminated areas to assist chemical accident victims and handling
their contaminated clothing and equipment. Another person should
immediately call the Emergency Medical Service, 911-Operator, Hospital,
Physician, Ophthalmologist or Poison Control Center, as applicable. Give the
following information: Location of the accident, your phone number, description
of the accident, name of chemical agent and product, number and condition of
casualties, what is being done for the victims. Stay on the phone until the other
party hangs up! Remove victim from contaminated area to a clean, quiet,
ventilated area. Calm and reassure him, keep him warm.
EYES:
Hold eyelids apart and flush eyes with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes.
SKIN:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least
15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Thoroughly
decontaminate (or discard) clothing and shoes.
INHALATION:
Remove to fresh air. Lay victim down, legs raised. Loosen
tight clothing, cover with a blanket. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
INGESTION:
DO NOT induce vomiting, unless advised by EMS. Give
victim large quantities of water or milk with 1-2 fresh eggs. Give a glass
of 1/3 vinegar with 2/3 water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
IN CASE OF A SPILL:
Do not touch or walk through spilled
material. Isolate hazard area and keep people away. Notify your facility
emergency coordinator. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Provide maximum
ventilation. Do not release into soil, sewers, or natural bodies of water. Wear
proper personal protective equipment (PPE). Carefully mop up or vacuum
spill and triple rinse with water into suitable plastic container. Release of a
reportable quantity (RQ) requires notification of proper authorities. Dispose
of according to local, state, and federal regulations.
NEUTRALIZING AGENT:
Dilute Hydrochloric Acid (6M)
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING:
