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: If clothing is contaminated, remove and launder before reuse. After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. Seek medical attention. Eyes: Immediately flush the eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing water for 15 minutes or until the chemical is removed. Get immediate medical attention if irritation persists. Lift or retract eyelids often while flushing with water. 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: chlorine compounds Hazards during fire-fighting: Standard procedure for chemical fires. Cool fire-exposed containers with water. 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.
