1 - Quick action - Never delay the rinsing of the chemical splash no matter the reason

This factor is determining to avoid any after-effects. We will have to impede that the products penetrates and creates lesions (see the mechanism). The length of contact between the product and the tissues must be the shortest possible.

2 - It is fundamental that the decontamination system is located close to the risky places or at the disposal of the mobile staff (Eyewash or spray in the safety case).
Our experts can travel to study with you the setting up of the Prevor products in your plant.

3 - The material has to be accessible and the place must be known by the staff exposed to the chemical risk

If the length of reaction of the persons or the first aiders is delayed for several reasons, the quantity of Diphotérine® or Hexafluorine® that is necessary to decontaminate will be more important than the quantity available in the individual products because it is necessary to extend the rinsing (3 to 5 times the length of contact with the aggressive chemical)

4 - For caution measure, it is recommended to have one or several stations with a more important rinsing capacity, like the Mural or Portable Eyewash (500 ml) for the eyes or a DAP ( 5l) for the body.

5 - In case of a splash on the body, it is fundamental to undress the person.

The person has a risk of maceration if he/she keeps a contaminated clothes that multiplies the caustic effect of the product, extends dangerously the length of contact and hampers the action of Diphotérine® or Hexafluorine®.

6 - The rinsing has to be automatic, a training must be set up in the company (Prevor has created a training module to meet this specific need) in order to be sure that in case of emergency, the victim or the first aider will proceed to the right first aid measures without any hesitation.

7 - The use of water as a first rinsing before Diphotérine® is adviced against if possible. Water removes the chemical product on the surface but its hypotonic criterion facilitates the penetration of dangerous residues. More Diphotérine® will be necessary afterwards to extract the product inside the tissue and the efficiency of the rinsing with Diphotérine® will risk to be decreased entailing thus risks of secondary effects.

8 - In case of a splash in the eye, the treatment with Diphotérine® can entail a light and temporary dryness sensation in the eye. A secondary rinsing with the Washing Solution from Prevor will give a comfort sensation by reestablishing the physiological balance of the eye.

9 - Finally, no matter the quality of the rinsing, a medical advice is necessary.
