What to do

1. If exposed: leave the area. Outside, move upwind if possible.
2. Do not enter fumes without specialist equipment. Call firefighters and report chemicals.
3. If told to shelter indoors from an outside cloud: shut doors/windows, turn off ventilation and stay in the designated room.
4. Report product if already known. Do not return for it. Unresponsive, seizure or breathing difficulty: emergency help now.
5. Away from the spill: remove contaminated clothes without passing over your face. If possible, isolate in two bags. Leave untouched. Keep out of shelter and ordinary rubbish.
6. General skin contamination: gently wash with lukewarm water and soap for at least 2–3 minutes. Do not scrub. Burns or special substances: use the specific guide and dispatcher.
7. Do not touch contamination without suitable protection. From a clean place, request instructions and guide self-cleaning if possible. An ordinary mask does not make fumes safe to enter.
8. Use clean clothes and keep warm. Child or dependent person: request protected cleaning help. Tell responders about exposure before approaching an ambulance or entering a hospital.
