Protective measures
Engineering control: closed operation, pay attention to ventilation. Mechanize and automate as much as possible. Provide safety shower and eye wash equipment. Respiratory protection: it is recommended to wear a self-priming filter gas mask (half mask) and chemical safety glasses when escaping in the air. Body protection: penetrating gas type anti poison clothing. Hand protection: wear chemical resistant gloves Other protection: smoking, eating and drinking are strictly prohibited at the work site. Store clothes contaminated by poisons separately and use them for standby after washing. Keep good hygiene habits.
First aid measures
Skin contact: take off contaminated clothes and wash skin thoroughly with soapy water and clear water. Eye contact: lift the eyelids and rinse with flowing clean water or normal saline.
