First aid measures Describe the first aid measures; however, it is important to specify whether immediate medical attention is required. The information on first aid must be brief and easy to understand by the victim, bystanders and first-aiders. The symptoms and effects should be briefly summarized. The instructions should indicate what is to be done on the spot in the case of an accident and whether delayed effects can be expected after exposure. Subdivide the information according to the different routes of exposure, i. e. inhalation, skin and eye contact and ingestion, under different subheadings. Indicate whether professional assistance by a doctor is needed or advisable. For some substances or preparations it may be important to emphasize that special means to provide specific and immediate treatment must be available at the workplace.
