Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. Exposure to the substance will result in cyanide formation. Also consult ICSC of a cyanide salt, such as 0671. Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available. The odour warning when the exposure limit value is exceeded is insufficient. Rinse contaminated clothes (fire hazard) with plenty of water. Card has been partly updated in April 2005. See section Occupational Exposure Limits.
