Move the victim into fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration and consult a doctor immediately. Do not use mouth to mouth resuscitation if the victim ingested or inhaled the chemical.
Take off contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a doctor.
Rinse with pure water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a doctor.
Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately.

Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. Poisons A and B

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing mist, gas or vapours.Avoid contacting with skin and eye. Use personal protective equipment.Wear chemical impermeable gloves. Ensure adequate ventilation.Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.
Prevent further spillage or leakage if it is safe to do so. Do not let the chemical enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Use personal protective equipment. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Avoid breathing dust. Environmental precautions: Do not let product enter drains. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Pick up and arrange disposal without creating dust. Sweep up and shovel. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.
Bacitracin ophthalmic ointment should be stored at 15-30 deg C.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.
Wear tightly fitting safety goggles with side-shields conforming to EN 166(EU) or NIOSH (US).
Wear fire/flame resistant and impervious clothing. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
If the exposure limits are exceeded, irritation or other symptoms are experienced, use a full-face respirator.

Aqueous solutions of bacitracin deteriorate rapidly by oxidation at room temperature; solutions are stable for 1 week when stored at 2-8 deg C. Bacitracin is rapidly inactivated in solutions having a pH less than 4 or greater than 9. The drug is stable in petrolatum, paraffins, white wax, and lanolin but not in water-miscible bases. Bacitracin powder should be stored at 2-15 deg C and should be protected from direct sunlight. Bacitracin topical ointment should be stored at 15-30 deg C.

AEROBIC: Bacitracin, present as the zinc salt at 62.8 units/mg and mixed with chicken feces, was 77% biodegraded in 30 days at 4 deg C and 67% biodegraded at 20 deg C, using a sandy loam soil (pH 6.0-6.3; clay 16.3%; sand 60.0%; silt 27.3%) incubated at 35 deg C(1). The soil had no prior history of agricultural use. The half-lives of bacitracin in soil were reported as 22.5 and 12 days at 20 and 30 deg C, respectively(1-4). Bacitracin-zinc, present at 25 ug/g was 90% degraded (half-life 2 days), when incubated in poultry manure. It was 100 % degraded (half-life of 7 days), when incubated in manure plus soil(3). Bacitracin-zinc
Bacitracins are high molecular weight, ionic peptides(1). The estimated pKa values for bacitracin range from 3.19 to 13.26(2), indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in the ion form in the environment(2). Therefore, bioconcentration is not expected to be an important environmental fate process in water as ionic compounds have a low tendency to bioconcentrate(SRC).
Bacitracin is a high molecular weight, ionic peptide that may exist as a dipolar molecule. In acid solution it can be cationic and under basic conditions it can exist as an anion(1). Bacitracin has been shown to be unstable in the presence of alkaline clays(1). Low values of adsorption of bacitracin by vermiculite and illite have been attributed to the anionic behavior resulting from the clay alkalinity at pH range of 7.9-8.2(1). The estimated pKa values for bacitracin range from 3.19 to 13.26(2).

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
