FIRST AID MEASURES First aid measures for different exposure routes General advice Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. Have the product containers or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor, or going for treatment. Page 2 / 9 LAUNDRY BLEACH :: Safety Data Sheet Version 1.0 Issuing Date 06/1/15 Eye contact Hold eye open & rinse with water for 15-20 min. Remove contact lenses, if present, after 5 min, then continue rinsing eyes. Call poison control center or doctor for advice. Skin contact Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. Inhalation Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth, if possible. Call a poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice. Ingestion Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by a poison control center or doctor. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Protection of First-aiders Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device.
