First aid when you breathe in a chemical If a person has difficulty breathing, feels dizzy, confused, or nauseous, or if you see, smell, or feel a chemical release: Remove the person from the work area or factory so they can get fresh air. Make sure your workplace has a plan about what to do if a worker cannot move or loses consciousness. Help the person stay calm and comfortable. Give oxygen from an oxygen tank if the person has inhaled chemicals that: cause a severe asthma attack, such as isocyanates and some dyes. cause liquid to build up in the lungs (pulmonary edema), such as ammonia and chlorine. reduce oxygen in the air, such as methane and nitrogen. reduce oxygen in the blood, such as carbon monoxide and methylene chloride. make it hard for the body to use oxygen, such as cyanide and hydrogen sulfide. Take the person to a health worker, even if they feel better. If the person has stopped breathing, begin rescue breathing (mouth-to-mouth breathing). Make sure your factory holds regular trainings on how to do rescue breathing.
