======================= First Aid Measures =======================
Eyes: FLUSH W/PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINS. SKIN:
WASH W/SOAP & WATER WHILE REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING.
INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GIVE CPR/OXYGEN AS NEEDED.
INGESTION: DON'T INDUCE VOMITING. GIVE WATER/MILK IF CONSCIOUS &
NOT DROWSY. IF VOMITING OCCURS, KEEP HEAD BELOW HIPS TO AVOID
ASPIRATION OF VOMITUS INTO LUNGS. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IN ALL
CASES.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================

INTERNALLY. DON'T REUSE EMPTY CONTAINER W/OUT COMMERCIAL CLEAN OR
RECONDITION.
Respiratory Protection:IF TLV IS EXCEEDED, USE NIOSH APPROVED ORGANIC
CARTRIDGE RESPIRATOR. IF VAPOR LEVELS ARE 10 X TLV OR GREATER, USE
NIOSH APPROVED SUPPLIED-AIR RESPIRATOR.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST TO CONTROL VAPOR/DUST LEVELS BELOW
