First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
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. Remove casualty to fresh air and keep warm and at rest.
Wash frost-bitten areas with plenty of water. Do not remove clothing. Cover wound with sterile dressing.
Wash immediately and thoroughly with running water, keeping eyelids raised, for at least 10 minutes. Following this, protect the eyes with sterile gauze or a clean, dry, handkerchief. OBTAIN A MEDICAL EXAMINATION.
Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.
Immediate Medical Attention
OBTAIN A MEDICAL EXAMINATION.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Only experienced and properly instructed persons should handle compressed gases. Protect packages from physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide or drop. Avoid contact with skin and eyes, inhalation of vapours and mists. Do not eat or drink while working.
Keep container below 50°C in a well ventilated place. Containers should be stored in the vertical position and properly secured to prevent falling over. Stored containers should be periodically checked for general conditions and leakage. Container valve guards or caps should be in place. Store containers in location free from fire risk and away from sources of heat and ignition. Keep away from combustible materials. Containers should not be stored in conditions likely to encourage corrosion.
Do not eat or drink while working.
