4. First Aid
Emergency rescues for different exposures to hazards
1. Move the victim to a place with fresh air and then immediately send the victim for
medical care.
Inhalation:
2. If necessary, give an artificial respiration.
3. Keep the venues well ventilated.
1. Use a large amount of water to wash the skin and take off the contaminated cloths.
2. Wash the skin for at least 10 minutes.
3. Use calcium gluconate solution to moisturize the affected skin till its pain
Skin contact:
dissipates, and then use water to wash it again, followed by another 15 minutes of
using calcium gluconate solution to moisturize the skin.
4. Take drugs by the physician instructions.
1. Open up the upper and lower eyelids and use plentiful amount of water to wash
them for at least 10 minutes.
Eye contact:
2. Immediately send the victim for medical care.
3. Take drugs by the physician instructions.
1. Let the victim drink plentiful amount of water (Calcium gluconate solution).
2. There is the danger of perforation.
Ingestion: 3. Do Not induce vomiting. If the victim has spontaneous vomiting, make the victim's
body tilt forward to avoid inhalation of the vomit.
4. Immediately notify a doctor for medical care.
Most significant symptoms and It can cause very painful, deep skin burns.
hazardous effects:
Let the medical personnel know about the chemicals that the victim has contacted, so
