Most important Eye Contact-Causes serious eye damage. Contact with rapidly expanding gas
symptoms/ effects, may cause burns or frostbite.
acute and or delayed Inhalation- Fatal if inhaled. May cause respiratory irritation.
Skin contact- Causes severe burns. Contact with rapidly expanding gas may
cause burns or frostbite.
Frostbite- Try to warm up the frozen tissues and seek medical attention.
Precaution to Fire Evacuate all personnel from the danger area. Use self-contained breathing
Fighters apparatus (SCBA) and protective clothing. Immediately cool containers with water
from maximum distance. Stop flow of gas if safe to do so, while continuing cooling
water spray. Remove ignition sources if safe to do so. Remove containers from
area of fire if safe to do so.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precaution DANGER: Oxidizing gas. Corrosive. Evacuate personnel to a safe area. Wear
a self-contained breathing apparatus and appropriate personal protective
equipment (PPE). (gas tight, chemical-protective) Approach suspected leak
area with caution. Remove all sources of ignition. Toxic, corrosive vapor can
spread from spill. Contact with flammable materials may cause fire or
explosion. Ventilate area or move container to a well-ventilated area. Before
entering the area, especially a confined area, check the atmosphere with an
appropriate device. Prevent from entering sewers, basements and workpits, or
any place where its accumulation can be dangerous.
Precautions for the Ensure emergency procedures to deal with accidental gas releases are in
environment place to avoid contamination of the environment. Inform the relevant
authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution (sewers,
waterways, soil or air). Water polluting material. May be harmful to the
environment if released in large quantities. Collect the spillage.
General Do not breathe gas/vapor. Avoid all contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Emergency
precaution eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in the immediate vicinity
of any potential exposure.
Protect cylinders from physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide or drop. While moving
cylinder, always keep in place removable valve cover. Never attempt to lift a cylinder
by its cap; the cap is intended solely to protect the valve. When moving cylinders,
even for short distances, use a cart (trolley, hand truck, etc.) designed to transport
cylinders. Never insert an object (e.g, wrench, screwdriver, pry bar) into cap
openings; doing so may damage the valve and cause a leak. Use an adjustable
strap wrench to remove over-tight or rusted caps. Slowly open the valve. If the valve
is hard to open, discontinue use and contact your supplier. Close the container valve
after each use; keep closed even when empty. Never apply flame or localized heat
directly to any part of the container. High temperatures may damage the container
and could cause the pressure relief device to fail prematurely, venting the container
contents
Personal Wear leather safety gloves and safety shoes when handling cylinders. Eating,
protection drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled,
stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking
and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before
entering eating areas. See also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene
measures.
