1.3 Safety instructions for coolant
First aid measures:
The first aid measure is only an emergency measure or immediate help in the case of minor injuries; Victims should
be placed in a stable side position in case of unconsciousness.
A physician should always be consulted in case of prolonged contact with the coolant. Inform the physician that the
injured person was exposed to R410A coolant (the physician may not administer any drugs of the adrenaline-ephedrine
group).
Contaminated clothing:
Remove contaminated clothing immediately if they are not stuck to the skin. Clothing which is stuck to the skin may
only be removed under medical supervision.
Skin contact with the coolant:
Thaw out contact points (burns) on the skin. Wash the affected area of the skin with generous amounts of warm water.
Retina contact with the coolant:
Rinse eye carefully with large amounts of water. Keep eyelids open for at least 10 minutes. Consult a physician.
Inhalation of coolant fumes:
Inform an emergency doctor immediately. Get the victim into a well-heated room and supply with fresh air; have a
trained person treat the victim with oxygen if he has inhaled large amounts of fumes. In case of intoxication symptoms
have a trained person respirate artificially or with oxygen and apply heart massage.
Ingestion of coolant:
If the victim is conscious, rinse out their mouth and throat and give them water or a warm drink.
Inform an emergency doctor immediately. Get the victim into a stable side position to reduce the risk of vomiting. Do
not induce vomiting.
Clearing up small amounts of R410A:
Put on protective clothing and seal the leak in the coolant circuit if possible. Escaping coolant turns into a gas which
gathers near the floor as it is heavier than air. Therefore, ventilate the operations room well. Open several doors or
exits to the outside if possible to create a draft.
