First aid

• Eyes: For contact with vapors: rinse cautiously with lukewarm, gently flowing water for 15-20 minutes, holding eyelids open; remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. For contact with hot asphalt: flush with large amounts of tepid water for at least 15 minutes and immediately call a doctor. If eye irritation persists: get medical advice/attention.
• Skin: For contact with hot asphalt: immerse or flush skin with cold water for at least 15 minutes and immediately call a doctor. Do not attempt to remove solidified material. Remove cold material (not associated with a burn) with waterless hand cleaner, then wash with soap and water.
• Swallowed: Unlikely route of exposure. Call a physician immediately. Do not induce vomiting. Keep calm. Do not leave unattended.
• Breathing it in: Remove source of exposure or move person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. Immediately call a POISON CENTER/doctor. If breathing has stopped, begin rescue breathing or CPR/AED as trained.

Fire

Use dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide; sand or earth for small fires only. Do not use direct water stream. Treat as fuel fire; wear pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full turnout gear.

Spills
