4. First-aid Measures
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air, if not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen and get immediate medical attention. Skin: After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. If clothing is contaminated, remove and launder before reuse. Immediate medical attention required. Eyes: Wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open. Seek medical attention. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs naturally, have casualty lean forward to reduce the risk of aspiration. Seek medical attention immediately.

5. Fire-fighting Measures
Suitable extinguishing media: carbon dioxide, dry powder, foam, water spray Hazardous combustion products: Carbon and nitrogen oxides. Hazards during fire-fighting: Spills can cause very slippery conditions on floors. Restrict pedestrian and vehicular traffic in areas where slip hazard may exist. Protective equipment for fire-fighting: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Cleanup: Pick up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, earth etc.). Place into approved waste containers. Wear suitable protective equipment. Should not be released into the environment. Spills are very slippery.
