3.8.3 Procedure in case of an emergency

The general safety regulations and regulations for the procedure
in case of an emergency apply. See NIOSH, OSHA, EN 12671
guidelines.
Actions in case of an emergency:
• Ventilate the installation location immediately.
• Wear personal protective equipment (safety goggles, gloves,
respirator and/or self-contained breathing apparatus,
protective apron).
• Implement initial help measures
– In case of contact with the eyes, rinse immediately with
plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a physician.
– In case of contact with the skin, wash immediately with
plenty of water. Remove all contaminated clothing.
– In case of gas inhalation, move to fresh air. Avoid taking
deep breaths.
– Consult a physician (look out for a racing pulse, as
vasodilating treatment may be required).
• Spills
– Evacuate the danger area and consult an expert!
– In case of contact with clothing, remove the clothing
immediately and wash with plenty of water.
– Chemical spills in buildings must be washed away with
water.
– Chlorine dioxide spills can be doused with sodium
thiosulphate, and washed away with water.
• Escaped gas
– Escaped gas can be rinsed away with water from a
sprinkling system.
• Firefighting
– Aqueous solutions of chlorine dioxide are not directly
flammable. Extinguish the surrounding fire with water,
preferably using a fire sprinkler system to dilute the ambient
gas. Inform the fire department of the installed production
capacity and any harmful starting substances that are being
stored (precursor chemicals) so that precautions can be
taken to minimize risk.
