Hygiene Measures: Wash thoroughly and immediately after handling. Remove any contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Section 6 – Engineering Controls Use of water reactive material must be conducted in an inert atmosphere; use of a glove box is recommended. The chemical fume hood must be approved and certified by REM and have a face velocity between 85 – 125 feet per minute. Section 7 – First Aid Procedures If inhaled: Move into the fresh air immediately and give oxygen. If not breathing give artificial respiration. Seek medical attention immediately. In case of skin contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash any contaminated clothing before reuse.
