FIRST-AID MEASURES Inhalation Ingestion In case of eye contact, rinse with plenty of water and seek medical attention if necessary. Move casualty to fresh air and keep at rest. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention if necessary. Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and wash using soap. Get medical attention if necessary. Do Not Induce Vomiting! Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If conscious, wash out mouth with water. Get medical attention if necessary. 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Suitable (and unsuitable) extinguishing media Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters Specific hazards arising from the chemical Flammable in presence of air. Dry chemical powder for metal fire, Class D extinguisher, smother with sand or dry clay. DO NOT USE WATER OR FOAM. Wear self-contained, approved breathing apparatus and full protective clothing, including eye protection and boots. May burn in presence of air. Reacts violently with water and acids to liberate extremely flammable hydrogen gas. CORROSIVE! DANGEROUS WHEN WET! Emits toxic fumes (calcium oxide) under fire conditions.
