Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
Remove victim to uncontaminated area wearing self contained breathing apparatus. Keep victim warm and rested. Call a doctor. Perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation if breathing stopped.
Symptoms:
In high concentrations may cause asphyxiation. Symptoms may include loss of mobility/consciousness. Victim may not be aware of asphyxiation.
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
None.
Fire Fighting Measures & Emergency Response
Fire suppression methods, extinguishing media, and firefighting safety procedures
✅ Suitable Extinguishing Media
Water spray or fog. Product does not burn, use fire control measures appropriate for the surrounding fire.
❌ Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
Do not use water jet to extinguish.
⚠️ Specific Fire Hazards
Exposure to fire may cause containers to rupture/explode.
🔥 Fire Fighting Instructions
Use fire control measures appropriate for the surrounding fire. Exposure to fire and heat radiation may cause gas receptacles to rupture. Cool endangered receptacles with water spray jet from a protected position. Prevent water used in emergency cases from entering sewers and drainage systems. If possible, stop flow of product. Use water spray or fog to knock down fire fumes if possible. Move containers away from the fire area if this can be done without risk.
🛡️ Firefighter Protection Equipment
In confined space use self-contained breathing apparatus. Standard protective clothing and equipment (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus) for fire fighters. Standard EN 469 - Protective clothing for firefighters. Standard - EN 659: Protective gloves for firefighters. Standard EN 137 - Self-contained open-circuit compressed air breathing apparatus with full face mask.

🔥 Fire Prevention Measures
Store containers in location free from fire risk and away from sources of heat and ignition. Keep away from combustible materials.
Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
Provide adequate general and local exhaust ventilation. Oxygen detectors should be used when asphyxiating gases may be released. Systems under pressure should be regularily checked for leakages. Consider the use of a work permit system e.g. for maintenance activities.
🧤 Hand Protection
Wear working gloves when handling gas containers. Standard EN 388 - Protective gloves against mechanical risks, performance level 1 or higher.
👁️ Eye Protection
Wear safety glasses with side shields. Standard EN 166 - Personal eye-protection - specifications
😷 Respiratory Protection
Self contained breathing apparatus is recommended, where unknown exposure may be expected, e.g. during maintenance activities on installation systems. Standard EN 137 - Self-contained open-circuit compressed air breathing apparatus with full face mask. When indicated by a risk assessment, Respiratory Protective Equipment must be used. The selection of the Respiratory Protective Device (RPD) must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selected RPD.
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Wear safety shoes while handling containers. Standard EN ISO 20345 - Personal protective equipment - Safety footwear.
🌍 Environmental Exposure Controls
