FIRST AID PROCE RES for EXPOSURE TO GALINE AND DIESEL <br /> II. All employees need to understand the procedures to be used in responding to various kinds <br /> of emergencies involving spills of hazardous materials. This section of the Emergency <br /> Response Procedures, outlines the First Aid Procedures for exposure to gasoline and diesel <br /> fuel from each Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). All employees need to know this <br /> information for their own personal safety, the safety of their co-workers as well as the safety <br /> of customers that could be exposed. The MSDS's for these and other work site chemicals are <br /> filed in the Hazard Communication (HAZCOM) Binder at the cashier area. <br /> First Aid Procedures for Exposure to Gasoline and Diesel <br /> A. EYE CONTACT: Flush with water for 15 minutes while holding eyelids open and seek <br /> attention. <br /> B. SKIN CONTACT: Flush with water while removing contaminated clothing and <br /> shoes. Follow by washing with soap and water. Do not reuse clothing until <br /> cleaned, shoes must not be reused. If irritation persists, get medical attention. <br /> C. INHALATION (Breathing): Remove victim to fresh air and provide oxygen if <br /> breathing is difficult. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical <br /> attention. <br /> D. INGESTION (Swallowing): <br /> DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING BECAUSE GASOLINE CAN ENTER LUNGS AND CAUSE <br /> SEVERE LUNG DAMAGE! If vomiting occurs spontaneously keep head below hips to <br /> prevent aspiration of liquid into lungs. Get medical attention. <br /> E. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: If more than 2.0 ml per kg has been ingested and <br /> vomiting has not occurred, emesis should be induced with medical supervision. <br /> Keep victim's head below hips to prevent aspiration. If symptoms such as loss of <br /> gag reflex, convulsions or unconsciousness occur before emesis, gastric lavage <br /> using a cuffed endotracheal tube should be considered. <br /> F. For further information, consult the Materials Safety Data Sheets for these <br /> products and for other hazardous materials in the HAZCOM Binder. <br /> G. OTHER WORKPLACE CHEMICALS: Before handling any chemical, employees <br /> must review the MSDS for PROTECTIVE MEASURES (PPE), HEALTH HAZARD <br /> DATA, SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES, and FIRST AID procedures. <br /> ANNUAL EMPLOYEE TRAINING TOPICS <br /> 1 • Hazwoper <br /> 2.
