FIRST-AID MEASURES Immediately brush loose particles off skin, then rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention immediately. Inhalation Move casualty to fresh air and keep at rest. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention immediately. Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and wash using soap. Get medical attention immediately. Ingestion Do Not Induce Vomiting! Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If conscious, wash out mouth with water. Get medical attention immediately. 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Suitable (and unsuitable) extinguishing media Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters Specific hazards arising from the chemical Flammable in presence of air. Dry chemical powder for metal fire, Class D extinguisher, smother with sand or dry clay. DO NOT USE WATER OR FOAM. Wear self-contained, approved breathing apparatus and full protective clothing, including eye protection and boots. May burn in presence of air. Reacts violently with water and acids to liberate extremely flammable hydrogen gas. CORROSIVE! DANGEROUS WHEN WET! Emits toxic fumes (calcium oxide) under fire conditions. (See also Stability and Reactivity section). 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Environmental precautions Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up See section 8 for recommendations on the use of personal protective equipment. Prevent spillage from entering drains. Any release to the environment may be subject to federal/national or local reporting requirements. Pick up and arrange disposal without creating dust. Sweep up and shovel. Do not flush with water. Dispose of all waste and cleanup materials in accordance with regulations. Revised on 03/03/2015 Page 2 of 6
