| [Fire Fighting] Small Fires: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide or water spray. Large Fires: Water spray, fog or regular foam. | |
| [Fire Potential] Combustible material: may burn but does not ignite readily. | |
| [Ingestion] Seek medical assistance. | |
| [Inhalation] Move victim to fresh air. Apply artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. | |
| [Skin] Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. Immediately flush with running water for at least 20 minutes. For minor skin contact, avoid spreading material on unaffected skin. | |
| [Eyes] Immediately flush with running water for at least 20 minutes. | |
| [Storage] Store at in a cool dry place. | |
| [Handling] All chemicals should be considered hazardous. Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood. | |
| [Inhalation] Acute respiratory insufficiency is the main cause of death in acute poisonings. | |
| [Skin] Sweating is a consistent but not universal sign. | |
| [Eyes] See Skin. | |
| [Ingestion] Vomiting, diarrhea, fecal incontinence and abdominal pain may occur. | |

| [Personal Protection] Wear appropriate protective gloves, clothing and goggles. | |
| [Respirators] Must wear a respirator with an activated-carbon gas filter cartridge affording protection for a determined number of working hours. | |
| [Exposure Effects] Headache, dizziness, muscle spasms and profound weakness are common. Alterations of level of consciousness, seizures and coma may occur. Seizures may be more common in children. Peripheral neuropathy of the mixed sensory-motor type may be delayed in onset by 6 to 21 days. Recovery may be slow or incomplete. Acephate was not teratogenic in rats and mice. <br>No data were available to assess the potential effects of exposure to this agent during pregnancy or lactation. <br>Sporadic reports of human birth defects related to organophosphates have not been fully verified. | |
