FIRST AID MEASURES
Description of necessary first aid measures
Inhalation:
Remove victim from exposure if safe to do so. If rapid recovery does not
occur, transport to nearest medical facility for additional treatment. Remove
contaminated clothing.
Skin Contact:
If skin contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and wash skin
thoroughly with water and follow by washing with soap if available.
Eye Contact:
If in eyes, hold eyes open, flood with water for at least 15 minutes. If
symptoms persist transport to nearest medical facility for additional treatment.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Transport to nearest medical facility
for additional treatment.
Symptoms caused by exposure
Inhalation:
May cause irritation to the respiratory system. Inhalation of the vapour may
result in drunkenness (as per effects of ingestion). Early symptoms may occur
at airborne levels of 1000 to 5000ppm.
Skin:
May include burning sensation and/or a dried/cracked appearance. Prolonged
contact may cause defatting of skin which can lead to dermatitis.
Eye:
May include burning sensation, redness, swelling and/or blurred vision.
Ingestion:
Can cause drunkenness or harmful central nervous system effects. The
deliberate ingestion of ethanol (50-100ml) may cause inebriation such that
safety is impaired. Effects of a small intake may include excitation, euphoria,
headache, dizziness, drowsiness, blurred vision, and fatigue. Ingestion of a
large amount may lead to severe acute intoxication, tremours, convulsion, loss
of consciousness, coma, respiratory arrest and death.
Medical attention and special treatment
Treat symptomatically.
