MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET - Pressure (page 3)

PART II - What should I do if a hazardous situation occurs?

4. FIRST- AID MEASURES

If wood fibers are in the eyes, open victim's eyes while under gentle running water. Use sufficient force to open eye lids. Have victim "roll" eyes. Minimum flushing is for 15 minutes. Victim must seek immediate medical attention especially if splintering occurs in the eye. If victim is not breathing, remove to fresh air and use artificial respiration to support vital functions.

If CCA pressure treated wood is swallowed, CALL PHYSICIAN OR POISON CONTROL CENTER FOR MOST CURRENT INFORMATION. If professional advice is not available, DO NOT induce vomiting. Never induce vomiting or give diluents (milk or water) to someone who is unconscious, having convulsions, or who cannot swallow.

Victim of chemical exposure and all rescuers must be taken for medical attention. Take copy of label and MSDS to physician or health professional with victim.
