First aid

Eyes: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. Immediately transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. Skin: Immediately flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing.[1]
General First Aid: · Call 911 or emergency medical service. · Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, take precautions to protect themselves and avoid contamination. · Move victim to fresh air if it can be done safely. · Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. · If victim is not breathing: -- DO NOT perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation; the victim may have ingested or inhaled the substance. -- If equipped and pulse detected, wash face and mouth, then give artificial respiration using a proper respiratory medical device (bag-valve mask, pocket mask equipped…[10]
(General first aid procedures) Eye: Irrigate immediately - If this chemical contacts the eyes, immediately wash (irrigate) the eyes with large amounts of water, occasionally lifting the lower and upper lids. Get medical attention immediately. Skin: Soap wash immediately - If this chemical contacts the skin, immediately wash the contaminated skin with soap and water.[5]
Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.[3]

Storage

Fireproof. Separated from food and feedstuffs, oxidants and halogens. Store in an area without drain or sewer access.[3]
Precautions FOR "carcinogens": Storage site should be as close as practicable to lab in which carcinogens are to be used, so that only small quantities required for ... Expt need to be carried. Carcinogens should be kept in only one section of cupboard, an explosion-proof refrigerator or freezer (depending on chemicophysical properties ...) that bears appropriate label. An inventory ... Should be kept, showing quantity of carcinogen & date it was acquired ... Facilities for dispensing ... Should be contiguous to storage area. (chemical Carcinogens)[6]
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.[6]

Incompatibilities

Reacts violently with iodine pentafluoride.[6]
Hydrogenation of benzene to cyclohexane was effected in a fixed bed reactor at 210-230 °C, but a fall in conversion was apparent. Increasing the bed temp by 10 °C & the hydrogen flow led to a large increase in reaction rate which the interbed cooling coils could not handle, & an exotherm to 280 °C developed, with a hot spot around 600 °C which bulged the reactor wall.[6]
Benzene ... Ignites in contact with (iodine heptafluoride) gas ...[6]
Dioxygenyl tetrafluoroborate is a very powerful oxidant, addition of a small particle to small samples of benzene ... At ambient temp ... (caused) ignition.[6]
