Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Refer for medical attention.
ON FROSTBITE: rinse with plenty of water, do NOT remove clothes. Refer for medical attention .
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
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.
Inhalation causes severe irritation of nose and upper respiratory tract, lung injury. Ingestion causes burns of mouth and stomach. Contact with eyes causes severe irritation and burns. Contact with skin causes irritation and burns. (USCG, 1999)
Basic treatment: Establish a patent airway (oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal airway, if needed). Suction if necessary. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilations if necessary. Administer oxygen by nonrebreather mask at 10 to 15 L/min. Monitor for pulmonary edema and treat if necessary . Monitor for shock and treat if necessary . Anticipate seizures and treat if necessary . For eye contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. Irrigate each eye continuously with 0.9% saline (NS) during transport . Do not use emetics. For ingestion, rinse mouth and administer 5 ml/kg up to 200 ml of water for dilution if the patient can swallow, has a strong gag reflex, and does not drool. . Cover skin burns with dry sterile dressings after decontamination . Bromine, methyl bromide, and related compounds
Extinguish fire using agent suitable for surrounding fire. Use flooding quantities of water. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Approach fire from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors. Hydrobromic acid solution
Behavior in Fire: Pressurized container may explode and release toxic, irritating vapor. (USCG, 1999)
In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media. In case of fire: keep cylinder cool by spraying with water. NO direct contact with water.
Evacuate danger area! Consult an expert! Personal protection: gas-tight chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus. Ventilation. NEVER direct water jet on liquid. Remove gas with fine water spray.

1) ventilate area of leak to disperse gas. 2) if in gaseous form, stop flow of gas. if source of leak is a cylinder & leak cannot be stopped in place, remove leaking cylinder to a safe place in open air, & repair leak or allow cylinder to empty. 3) if in liquid form, allow to vaporize & disperse the gas.
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.
Separated from incompatible materials. See Chemical Dangers. Cool. Dry. Ventilation along the floor.Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Separate from alkalies, oxidizing materials, amines, halogens, and metals. Hydrobromic acid solution

The solution in water is a strong acid. It reacts violently with bases and is corrosive. Reacts violently with strong oxidants and many organic compounds. This generates fire and explosion hazard. Attacks many metals. This produces flammable/explosive gas (hydrogen - see ICSC 0001).
Yellow color slowly darkens on exposure to air and light.
The gas is heavier than air.HYDROGEN BROMIDE is an anhydrous (no water) strong acid. Reacts rapidly and exothermically with bases of all kinds (including amines and amides). Reacts exothermically with carbonates (including limestone and building materials containing limestone) and hydrogen carbonates to generate carbon dioxide. Reacts with sulfides, carbides, borides, and phosphides to generate toxic or flammable gases. Reacts with many metals (including aluminum, zinc, calcium, magnesium, iron, tin and all of the alkali metals) to generate flammable hydrogen gas. Reacts violently with acetic anhydride, 2-aminoethanol, ammonium hydroxide, calcium phosphide, chlorosulfonic acid, 1,1-difluoroethylene, ethylenediamine, ethyleneimine, oleum, perchloric acid, b-propiolactone, propylene oxide, silver perchlorate/carbon tetrachloride mixture, sodium hydroxide, uranium(IV) phosphide, vinyl acetate, calcium carbide, rubidium carbide, cesium acetylide, rubidium acetylide, magnesium boride, mercury(II) sulfate, calcium phosphide, calcium carbide.

The aqueous solution is a strong acid. Violent reaction with strong oxidizers, strong caustics, and many organic compounds causing fire and explosion hazard. Reacts with water forming hydrobromic acid. Incompatible with aliphatic amines, alkanolamines, alkylene oxides, aromatic amines, amides, ammonia, ammonium hydroxide, calcium oxide, epichlorohydrin, fluorine, isocyanates, oleum, organic anhydrides, sulfuric acid, sodium tetrahydroborate, vinyl acetate. Hydrobromic acid is highly corrosive to most metals forming flammable hydrogen.
When heated to decomposition ... it emits toxic and corrosive fumes of /hydrogen bromide/.

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.

The occupational exposure limit value should not be exceeded during any part of the working exposure.The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort.Rest and medical observation are therefore essential.Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.The odour warning when the exposure limit value is exceeded is insufficient.Do NOT spray water on leaking cylinder (to prevent corrosion of cylinder).Turn leaking cylinder with the leak up to prevent escape of gas in liquid state.Other UN number: 1788 Hydrobromic acid (solution), hazard class 8.
