SECTION 4: First-aid measures
4.1 Description of necessary first-aid measures
General advice ====================
*SKIN CONTACT:
IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating
all contaminated clothing. Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly
with soap and water.
Version: 1.0, Date of issue: 2017-06-08, p. 2 of 8
Safety Data Sheet
GP Plate
If symptoms such as redness or irritation develop, IMMEDIATELY call a
physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital for treatment.
*INHALATION:
IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air.
IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a
hospital even if no symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of
breath,
or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop.
Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown
atmosphere. Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus
(SCBA)
should be used; if not available, use a level of protection greater than or
equal to that advised under Respirator Recommendation.
*EYE CONTACT:
First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush
victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while
simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center.
Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without
specific instructions from a physician.
IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if
no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.
*INGESTION:
Some heavy metals are VERY TOXIC POISONS, especially if their salts are
very soluble in water (e.g., lead, chromium, mercury, bismuth, osmium, and
arsenic). IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center and locate
activated charcoal, egg whites, or milk in case the medical advisor
recommends
administering one of them. Also locate Ipecac syrup or a glass of salt water
in case the medical advisor recommends inducing vomiting. Usually, this is
NOT RECOMMENDED outside of a physician's care.
If advice from a physician is not readily available and the victim is
conscious and not convulsing, give the victim a glass of activated charcoal
slurry in water or, if this is not available, a glass of milk, or beaten egg
whites and IMMEDIATELY transport victim to a hospital.
If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth,
assure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with
the head lower than the body. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IMMEDIATELY
transport
the victim to a hospital.
*SYMPTOMS:
Acute: Abdominal pain, diarrhea, shock, muscular weakness/pain,
headache/coma, kidney damage.
Chronic: (Lead encephalopathy as in children) headache, vomiting,
delirium/hallucinations, convulsions, coma, death from exhaustion
and respiratory failure.
Children show weight loss, weakness, anemia. GI and CNS com-
plaints.
Treatment: Induce vomiting.
