3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

Emergency Overview

Can cause rapid suffocation.

Compressed liquefied gas.

Avoid breathing gas.

Direct contact with liquid can cause frostbite.

Self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required.

Potential Health Effects

Inhalation : In high concentrations may cause asphyxiation. Symptoms may include loss of

mobility/consciousness.Victim may not be aware of asphyxiation. Asphyxiation

may bring about unconsciousness without warning and so rapidly that victim

may be unable to protect themselves.

Eye contact : Contact with liquid may cause cold burns/frost bite.

Skin contact : Contact with liquid may cause cold burns/frost bite.

Ingestion : Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.

Chronic Health Hazard : Not applicable.

Exposure Guidelines

Primary Routes of Entry : Inhalation

Target Organs : None.

Symptoms : Exposure to oxygen deficient atmosphere may cause the following symptoms:

Dizziness. Salivation. Nausea. Vomiting. Loss of mobility/consciousness.

Aggravated Medical Condition

None known.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES

General advice Remove victim to uncontaminated area wearing self contained breathing

apparatus. Keep victim warm and rested. Call a doctor. Apply artificial

respiration if breathing stopped.

Eye contact In the case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and

seek medical advice. Keep eye wide open while rinsing. Seek medical advice.

Skin contact Wash frost-bitten areas with plenty of water. Do not remove clothing. Cover

wound with sterile dressing.

Ingestion Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.

Inhalation : Move to fresh air. If breathing has stopped or is labored, give assisted

respirations. Supplemental oxygen may be indicated. If the heart has stopped,

trained personnel should begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately. In

case of shortness of breath, give oxygen.

5. FIRE- FIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable extinguishing media All known extinguishing media can be used.

Specific hazards Upon exposure to intense heat or flame, cylinder will vent rapidly and or rupture

violently. Product is nonflammable and does not support combustion. Move

away from container and cool with water from a protected position. If possible,

stop flow of product. Keep adjacent cylinders cool by spraying with large

amounts of water until the fire burns itself out. Most cylinders are designed to

vent contents when exposed to elevated temperatures.

Special protective equipment

for fire-fighters

: Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions Gas/vapor heavier than air. May accumulate in confined spaces, particularly at

or below ground level. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Wear self-contained

breathing apparatus when entering area unless atmosphere is proved to be

safe. Ventilate the area. Monitor oxygen level.

Environmental precautions : Should not be released into the environment. Do not discharge into any place

where its accumulation could be dangerous. Prevent further leakage or

spillage. Prevent from entering sewers, basements and workpits, or any place

where its accumulation can be dangerous.

Methods for cleaning up : Ventilate the area.

Additional advice : If possible, stop flow of product. Increase ventilation to the release area and

monitor oxygen level. If leak is from cylinder or cylinder valve, call the Air

Products emergency telephone number. If the leak is in the user's system,

close the cylinder valve, safely vent the pressure, and purge with an inert gas

before attempting repairs.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling

Only experienced and properly instructed persons should handle compressed gases. Protect cylinders from

physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide or drop. Do not allow storage area temperature to exceed 50°C

(122°F). Before using the product, determine its identity by reading the label. Know and understand the

properties and hazards of the product before use. When doubt exists as to the correct handling procedure for a

particular gas, contact the supplier. Do not remove or deface labels provided by the supplier for the identification

of the cylinder contents. When moving cylinders, even for short distances, use a cart (trolley, hand truck, etc.)

designed to transport cylinders. Leave valve protection caps in place until the container has been secured

against either a wall or bench or placed in a container stand and is ready for use. Use an adjustable strap

wrench to remove over-tight or rusted caps. Before connecting the container, check the complete gas system for

suitability, particularly for pressure rating and materials. Before connecting the container for use, ensure that

back feed from the system into the container is prevented. Ensure the complete gas system is compatible for

pressure rating and materials of construction. Ensure the complete gas system has been checked for leaks

before use. Employ suitable pressure regulating devices on all containers when the gas is being emitted to

systems with lower pressure rating than that of the container. Never insert an object (e.g. wrench, screwdriver,

pry bar, etc.) into valve cap openings. Doing so may damage valve, causing a leak to occur. Open valve slowly.

If user experiences any difficulty operating cylinder valve discontinue use and contact supplier. Close container

valve after each use and when empty, even if still connected to equipment. Never attempt to repair or modify

container valves or safety relief devices. Damaged valves should be reported immediately to the supplier. Close

valve after each use and when empty. Replace outlet caps or plugs and container caps as soon as container is

disconnected from equipment. Do not subject containers to abnormal mechanical shocks which may cause

damage to their valve or safety devices. Never attempt to lift a cylinder by its valve protection cap or guard.

Always use backflow protective device in piping. When returning cylinder install valve outlet cap or plug leak

tight. Never use direct flame or electrical heating devices to raise the pressure of a container. Containers should

not be subjected to temperatures above 50°C (122°F). Prolonged periods of cold temperature below -30°C (-

20°F) should be avoided. Never attempt to increase liquid withdrawal rate by pressurizing the container without

first checking with the supplier. Never permit liquefied gas to become trapped in parts of the system as this may

result in hydraulic rupture.

Storage

Full containers should be stored so that oldest stock is used first. Containers should be stored in the vertical

position and properly secured to prevent toppling. The container valves should be tightly closed and where

appropriate valve outlets should be capped or plugged. Container valve guards or caps should be in place.

Observe all regulations and local requirements regarding storage of containers. Stored containers should be

periodically checked for general condition and leakage. Protect containers stored in the open against rusting

and extremes of weather. Containers should not be stored in conditions likely to encourage corrosion.

Containers should be stored in a purpose build compound which should be well ventilated, preferably in the

open air. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Store containers in location free from fire

risk and away from sources of heat and ignition. Full and empty cylinders should be segregated. Do not allow

storage temperature to exceed 50°C (122°F). Return empty containers in a timely manner.

Technical measures/Precautions

Containers should be segregated in the storage area according to the various categories (e.g. flammable, toxic,

etc.) and in accordance with local regulations. Keep away from combustible material.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Engineering measures

Provide natural or mechanical ventilation to prevent oxygen deficient atmospheres below 19.5% oxygen.

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection Self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or positive pressure airline with

mask are to be used in oxygen-deficient atmosphere. Air purifying respirators

will not provide protection. Users of breathing apparatus must be trained.

Hand protection Sturdy work gloves are recommended for handling cylinders.

The breakthrough time of the selected glove(s) must be greater than the

intended use period.

Eye protection Safety glasses recommended when handling cylinders.

Skin and body protection Safety shoes are recommended when handling cylinders.

Special instructions for

protection and hygiene

: Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas.
