give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery
position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen
tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Skin contact : Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and
shoes. Obtain medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse.
Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.
Eye contact : Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting

suitable protective equipment.
Environmental precautions : Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers.
Methods for cleaning up : If emergency personnel are unavailable, contain spilt material. For small spills, add
absorbent (soil may be used in the absence of other suitable materials), scoop up
material and place in a sealable, liquid-proof container for disposal. For large spills,
dyke spilt material or otherwise contain material to ensure runoff does not reach a
waterway. Place spilt material in an appropriate container for disposal.
