This product is not considered to be hazardous to human health. However, if exposure occurs, the following first aid measures should be followed:
Move exposed person to fresh air. If breathing discomfort occurs, seek medical attention.
Wash contaminated skin with plenty of soap and water. Seek medical attention if skin irritation occurs.
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Seek medical attention if eye irritation occurs.
Wash out mouth with water. Keep person warm and at rest. If material has been swallowed and the exposed person is conscious, give small quantities of water to drink. Stop if the exposed person feels sick as vomiting may be dangerous. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Get medical attention. Never 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.

5.3. Advice for firefighters
Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. Wear protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes. Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Wear suitable protective equipment, including gloves, goggles/face shield, respirator, boots, clothing or apron, as appropriate. Do not touch or walk into spilled material. No smoking, sparks, flames or other sources of ignition near spillage. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid inhalation of vapors. Provide adequate ventilation. If aerosol cans are ruptured, care should be taken due to the rapid escape of the pressurized contents and propellant. Avoid contact with contaminated tools and objects. Take care as floors and other surfaces may become slippery. Do not handle broken packages without protective equipment. Wash thoroughly after dealing with a spillage.
6.2. Environmental precautions
