| Section 4. First Aid Measures |
| Eye contact | : | Get medical attention immediately. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses. |
| Skin contact | : | Get medical attention immediately. Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly with water before removing or wear gloves. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse. |
| Inhalation | : | Get medical attention immediately. Move exposed person to fresh air. If it is suspected that fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate mask or self-contained breathing apparatus. Keep person warm and at rest. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. |
| Ingestion | : | Get medical attention immediately. Wash out mouth with water. Remove dentures if any. Move exposed person to fresh air. Keep person warm and at rest. If material has been swallowed and the exposed person is conscious, give small quantities of water to drink. Stop if the exposed person feels sick as vomiting may be dangerous. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. |
| Protection of first-aiders | : | No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. If it is suspected that fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate mask or self-contained breathing apparatus. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. |

| Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection |
| Product name | Exposure limits |
| United States |
| Acrylamide | ACGIH TLV (United States, 1/2006). Skin Notes: Substance identified by other sources as a suspected or confirmed human carcinogen. Refers to Appendix A -- Carcinogens. Inhalable fraction and vapor. Because the estimated saturated vapor concentration may significantly contribute to the exposure at the TLV–TWA and evaporative losses of collected particulate matter may occur during sampling, both the particulate mass and vapor phase concentrations should be considered and summed to determine total airborne concentration. ACGIH 2005 Adoption TWA: 0.03 mg/m3 8 hour/hours. Form: All forms NIOSH REL (United States, 12/2001). Skin Notes: See Appendix A - NIOSH Potential Occupational Carcinogen TWA: 0.03 mg/m3 10 hour/hours. Form: All forms OSHA PEL (United States, 8/1997). Skin TWA: 0.3 mg/m3 8 hour/hours. Form: All forms OSHA PEL 1989 (United States, 3/1989). Skin TWA: 0.03 mg/m3 8 hour/hours. Form: All forms |
| Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits. |
| Engineering measures | : | Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate dust, fumes, vapor or mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits. |
| Personal protection |
| Eyes | : | Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts. Recommended: safety glasses with side-shields |
| Skin | : | Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling this product. Body: Recommended: lab coat |
| Respiratory | : | Use a properly fitted, particulate filter respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator. |
| Hands | : | Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Recommended: neoprene |
| Hygiene measures | : | Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. |
