First aid measures Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Continue to rinse for at least 20 minutes. Get medical attention. Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If it is suspected that fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate mask or self-contained breathing apparatus. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or 3 oxygen by trained personnel. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Get medical attention. If necessary, call a poison center or physician. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Skin contact: Wash with plenty of soap and water. Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly with water before removing it, or wear gloves. Continue to rinse for at least 20 minutes. Get medical attention for persistent irritation. In the event of any complaints or symptoms, avoid further exposure. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse. Ingestion: Wash out mouth with water. Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If material has been swallowed and the exposed person is conscious, give small quantities of water to drink. Stop if the exposed person feels sick as vomiting may be dangerous. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Get medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed Potential acute health effects Eye contact: No known significant effects or critical hazards. Inhalation : Harmful if inhaled. May cause allergy or asthma symptoms or breathing difficulties if inhaled. Skin contact : May cause an allergic skin reaction. Ingestion : No known significant effects or critical hazards. Eye contact : No known significant effects or critical hazards. Over-exposure signs/symptoms Eye contact : No known significant effects or critical hazards.

Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically. Contact poison treatment specialist immediately if large quantities have been ingested or inhaled. Airborne particles of beryllium alloys can, if inhaled to excess, cause irreversible lung damage in people who are sensitive to beryllium. Prevention of this adverse health effect (called berylliosis or, more precisely, chronic beryllium disease) lies in maintaining good air quality. Chronic beryllium disease is a condition that primarily affects the tissue of the lungs restricting the exchange of oxygen between the lungs and the bloodstream. The disease may manifest itself in various ways; nonproductive cough, fatigue after slight exertion, and chest x-ray changes are typical. It may appear after a long period of latency, an interval sometimes lasting for years, between causative exposure and the onset of illness. There is no cure yet known, but treatment with steroid drugs has succeeded in adding to the comfort of patients and enabling them to sustain a measure of activity. Specific treatments: No specific treatment. Protection of No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. If first-aiders: it is suspected that fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate mask or self-contained breathing apparatus. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Section 5.
