Scope
The First Aid Measures section on a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides recommendations that describe measures that trained first aid providers can take at the scene of a chemical exposure, to minimize injury and disability, before obtaining medical assistance.
The Material Safety Data Sheet - A Practical Guide to First Aid presents a system for preparing and/or evaluating first aid recommendations for chemical exposures in the workplace. The 38 page publication identifies key questions on the health, fire and reactivity hazards of a chemical product and provides the user with a decision tree (flowchart approach) for arriving at accurate, consistent first aid recommendations for each route of occupational exposure (skin, eye, inhalation and ingestion).
Target Audience
The publication is intended for people who have a basic understanding of chemicals and their hazards and who write or evaluate first aid recommendations for Material Safety Data Sheets.
Formats
The Material Safety Data Sheet - A Practical Guide to First Aid is also available as part of our MSDS Publications Collection.
