First Aid Procedures - tatsuno OCEAN TOWER Series Installation And User Manual

1.4.5. FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Safety instructions for all products should be available at the fuel station. These instructions contain
important health and safety information pertaining to individual products and specific precautions to be
taken in case of prolonged contact, especially with AdBlue®, by its inhalation or ingestion.
Providing first aid after contacting AdBlue
AdBlue® is a transparent liquid with very little or no odour, making it more difficult to detect its leakage.
After a certain time, the odour may turn into a strong ammonia odour. Decomposition due to heat can
produce toxic fumes containing carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and ammonia, which can
lead to a reduction in the proportional amount of oxygen in the air.
In case of direct contact with AdBlue®, immediately perform the following procedures:
Eye injury
If your eyes get into contact with AdBlue® medium:

Rinse your eyes with plenty of running clean water.

Wash your eyes thoroughly and keep them open.

Continue washing your eyes with running water for at least fifteen minutes.

Removal of contact lenses after eye injury may only be carried out by a trained specialist.

If irritation persists, seek medical advice.
Skin contact (burns)
If your skin gets into contact with AdBlue® medium:

Immediately cool the affected area with cold water.

Carefully remove any clothing that has been in contact with AdBlue® medium.

Continue washing with running water for at least fifteen minutes.

Apply an antiseptic adhesive bandage to the affected area.

If the problem persists, seek medical advice.
Inhalation (AdBlue®/ammonia/biuret)
Do not enter the hazardous area without proper protection, including a respiratory mask and/or the
above‐mentioned protective clothing. In case of inhalation of toxic fumes:

If possible, move the affected person out of the contaminated area to fresh air.

Place the affected person and loosen his/her clothing, leave him/her in a warm and calm place.
