First Aid (Pictograms)
4. First Aid Measures
Eye
Flush immediately with copious amounts of tap water or normal saline (minimum of 15 minutes). Take exposed
individual to a health care professional, preferably an opthalmologist, for further evaluation.
Skin
Wash exposed area with plenty of soap and water. Repeat washing. Remove contaminated clothing and wash
thoroughly before reuse. If irritation persists consult a health professional.
