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. Apply artificial respiration if breathing stopped.
Symptoms:
In high concentrations may cause asphyxiation. Symptoms may include loss of mobility/consciousness. Victim may not be aware of asphyxiation.
👁️ Eye Contact
Rinse the eye with water immediately. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Get immediate medical assistance. If medical assistance is not immediately available, flush an additional 15 minutes.
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
Get immediate medical assistance. Get immediate medical advice/attention. Immediate medical attention is needed for Respiratory arrest and damage (frostbite) due to rapid evaporative cooling from contact with liquefied gas.
Medical Treatment
Thaw frosted parts with lukewarm water. Get immediate medical advice/attention.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
Consider a work permit system e.g. for maintenance activities. Ensure adequate air ventilation. Oxygen detectors should be used when asphyxiating gases may be released. Provide adequate ventilation, including appropriate local extraction, to ensure that the defined occupational exposure limit is not exceeded. Systems under pressure should be regularly checked for leakages. Preferably use permanent leak tight connections (eg. welded pipes). Do not eat, drink or smoke when using the product.
🧤 Hand Protection
Wear working gloves while handling containers Guideline: EN 388 Protective gloves against mechanical risks.
👁️ Eye Protection
Safety eyewear, goggles or face-shield to EN166 should be used to avoid exposure to liquid splashes. Wear eye protection to EN 166 when using gases. Guideline: EN 166 Personal Eye Protection.
😷 Respiratory Protection
Not required.
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
No special precautions. Wear safety shoes while handling containers Guideline: ISO 20345 Personal protective equipment - Safety footwear.
