======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:GET MEDICAL HELP IMMEDIATELY. START TREATMENT WITH CYANIDE
FIRST AID KIT. EYE/SKIN:IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15
MINUTES. HOLD EYELIDS OPEN. INHALED:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. PROVIDE
CPR/AMYL NITRITE PEARLS IF NEEDED. ORAL:IF CONSCIOUS, DRINK 1 PINT
OF 1% SODIUM THIOSULFATE/WATER. INDUCE VOMITING. IF UNCONSCIOUS,
FIRST PROVIDE CPR, OXYGEN & AMYL NITRITE. CALL POISON CONTROL
CENTER IMMEDIATELY.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NONE
Extinguishing Media:USE ALKALINE DRY CHEMICAL. DO NOT USE CARBON
DIOXIDE TO PREVENT THE RELEASE OF HIGHLY TOXIC HYDROGEN CYANIDE
GAS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND
NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH FULL
FACEPIECE OPERATED IN THE POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONTACT WITH ACIDS OR ALKALIES WILL
LIBERATE HIGHLY TOXIC, FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN CYANIDE GAS. USE WATER
SPRAY TO FIGHT FIRE AND COOL FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:NOTIFY SAFETY PERSONNEL. WEAR PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENTS. VENTILATE AREA. COVER WITH LIME. CAREFULLY SWEEP/VACUUM
