Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment

Engineering Controls

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

Hand Protection

Wear work gloves when handling gas containers. Standard EN 388 - Protective gloves against mechanical risk.

Eye Protection

Safety glasses recommended when handling cylinders. Standard EN 166 - Personal eye-protection.

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.

Skin/Body Protection

Safety shoes are recommended when handling cylinders. Standard EN ISO 20345 - Personal protective equipment - Safety footwear.

Environmental Exposure Controls

If applicable, refer to the extended section of the SDS for further information on CSA.
