C-Gel Calcium Gluconate Acid Burn Gel, 40g

Paperstone code:

The National Poisons Information Service advise that for responsive patients, immediate decontamination is the priority for individuals exposed to hydrofluoric acid

Even relatively low strength hydrofluoric acid is toxic and has the potential to cause serious tissue damage and death when contaminated individuals are not treated swiftly

C-Gel is a high performance calcium gluconate gel

C-Gel combines with and neutralises the fluorideion present in HF acid

This helps to prevent pain and tissue damage caused by HF acid whilst a patient is in transit to hospital

C-Gel is an easy to use cream, which can be self-administered or applied by a suitable first aider, available as a 40g tube

Some examples where Hydrofluoric acids may be encountered are industrial chemistry, mining, refining, glass finishing, silicon chip manufacturing and sanitation

Office First Aid Kits

What is a first aid kit?

A first aid kit is an assortment of medical supplies and equipment for first aid. First aid kits contain the means to dress wounds and to control bleeding, commonly plasters, bandages, dressings and wipes. Often a first aid guidance leaflet is included.

What first aid kit do I need?

According to the UK Approved Code of Practice (ACOP L74), “An employer shall provide, or ensure that there is provides, such equipment and facilities as is adequate and appropriate in the circumstances to enable First Aid to be rendered to employees if they are injured of become ill at work” (ACOP 3(1)). Further, “An employer should make an assessment of first-aid needs appropriate to the circumstances of each workplace” (ACOP 3(4)).

Buying the right first aid kit first requires the employer to make an assessment of the first aid needs of his or her employees, taking into account workplace hazards and risks; the size of the company; the company's accident history; the nature and distribution of the workforce; the company's location, specifically the distance from emergency services; the needs of lone, travelling and remote workers; employees working in shared / multi-occupied sites; and annual leave and absences of first-aiders.

Once a first aid assessment has been, choose first aid kits appropriate to the number of employees you have from the HSE compliant range.
