======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:EYE: IRRIGATE SURFACES W/WATER THOROUGHLY. SKIN: REMOVE
SOILED CLOTHING IMMEDIATELY & RINSE AREAS OF CONTACT THOROUGHLY.
INHALATION: MOVE TO FRESH AIR, BEFORE & AFTER USING - USE HAND-HELD
GEIGER COUN TER TO ASCERTAIN CONTAMINATION LEVELS &DOES RATES OF
SKIN. REPEAT RINSINGS UNTIL COUNTER REGISTERS NON-DETECTABLE
LEVELS. CONTACT HEALTH PHYSICIST & OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IN ALL
CASES.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NON-FLAMABLE
Extinguishing Media:WATER SPRAY, CO2, DRY CHEMICAL, OR FOAM AS
APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING MATERIALS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:EVACUATE PERSONNEL TO AN AREA OF UPWIND
DIRECTON & REMOVE UNNEEDED MATERIALS, KEEP FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS
