(j) If swallowed, give 1-3 cups of olive or other cooking oil or milk. Get to a doctor or hospital quickly.

(Cresols or Phenols 25% or less) if spilt on skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water, then methylated spirit.

(Cresols or Phenols in excess of 25%) if spilt on skin, swab repeatedly with glycerine, PEG (polyethylene glycol) or PEG - methylated spirit mixture or if necessary methylated spirit alone.

(k) If breathing, crush one amyl nitrite ampoule in handkerchief and hold under patient's nose for 1 or 2 seconds. Repeat up to 5 times at intervals of one minute.

(l) Give activated charcoal and keep patient quiet, in a dark place if possible.

(m) If accidentally sucked, give milk or water, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre.

(n) If sprayed on skin, wash thoroughly. If sprayed in mouth, give milk or water.

(q) If in eyes, hold eyes open, flood with water for at least 15 minutes and see a doctor.

(a) Where the First-Aid Instruction for a poison and its solvent are in conflict, the First-Aid Instruction for the poison is to prevail if its concentration expressed in grams per litre or grams per kilogram of preparation, is greater than the T value (i.e. toxicity) listed beside the substance specified below. If the concentration is equal to or less than the T value, then the instruction for the solvent is to prevail, provided that in the case of First-Aid instruction (h), the statements on skin absorption are to be retained.

(b) Where 2 or more substances specified below are present at concentrations less than their T-value and their First-Aid Instructions are in conflict with the solvent, calculate for each poison, the proportion of its T-value which its actual concentration C represents, (i.e. the C/T fraction) and add these fractions. If the total exceeds 1, the first aid for the substances is to prevail.

Note: that where the solvent concentration is low enough to result in exemption of the solvent from scheduling, for example at 25% for liquid hydrocarbons, then no conflict arises and the first aid for the poison automatically prevails.

Where the concentration of any substance specified below, expressed in grams per litre or grams per kilogram, is less than one tenth of the T-value listed beside that substance, then only First-Aid Instruction (a) need be written.
