Provide fresh air. In case of breathing difficulties administer oxygen. No mouth-to mouth or mouth-to-nose resuscitation. Use respiratory bag or oxygen resuscitation apparatus.
4.3 In case of skin contact
Remove contaminated clothing immediately and dispose off safely. After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water.

Fire-fighting measures
5.1 Suitable extinguishing media
Water spray jet, water mist, foam, carbon dioxide (CO2), extinguishing powder.
5.2 Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons: full water jet.
5.3 Special exposure hazards arising from the substance or preparation itself, combustion products, resulting gases.
In case of fire may be liberated: sulphur dioxide (SO2), sulphur trioxide.
5.4 Special protective equipment for fire-fighters
Wear full chemical protective clothing. In case of fire: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
5.5 Additional information
Intervention Actions-General: keep upwind, put on protective equipment before entering danger area.
Intervention Actions-Fire (involving the substance): heating of container(s) will cause pressure rise with risk of bursting and subsequent explosion. Gives off toxic and irritant fumes when heated or burning. May attack metals and produce hydrogen gas which may form explosive mixture with air. The vapour may be invisible and is heavier than air. It spreads along the ground and may enter sewers and basements. Keep container(s) cool with water. Extinguish with water fog (spray). Do not use water jet to extinguish. Use water spray to knock down fire fumes if possible. Avoid unnecessary run-off of extinguishing media which may cause pollution.

Handling and storage
7.1 Handling
7.1.1 Advices on safe handling
Protective measures: wear personal protection equipment, refer to chapter 8.
Do not eat, drink, smoke or sneeze at the workplace. Dangerous areas must be delimited and marked with appropriate warning and safety signs. In the immediate working surroundings there must be: emergency spray installed. Provide eye wash and label its location conspicuously. Provide sufficient washing facilities. Fill only into labelled container. Instruction on the hazards and the protective measures using instruction manual are required with signature. Working areas must be arranged in such a manner that they can be cleaned at all times.
7.1.2 Technical measures
Measures to prevent aerosol and dust generation
It is recommende to design all work processes always so that the following is excluded: Inhalation. Skin contact. Eye contact. If handled uncovered, arrangements with local exhaust ventilation should be used if possible.
Measures required to protect the environment
No special environmental protection measures are necessary.
7.1.3 Specific requirements or handling rules
The floor should be leak tight, jointless and not absorbent.
