Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
Inhalation Exposure
Remove to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention immediately.
Symptoms:
May cause suffocation by displacing the oxygen in the air. Exposure to oxygen-deficient atmosphere (<19.5%) may cause dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, excess salivation, diminished mental alertness, loss of consciousness and death. Exposure to atmospheres containing 8-10% or less oxygen will bring about unconsciousness without warning and so quickly that the individuals cannot help or protect themselves. Lack of sufficient oxygen may cause serious injury or death.
Skin Contact
None under normal use. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Symptoms:
None under normal use. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Eye Contact
None under normal use. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Symptoms:
None under normal use. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Ingestion/Swallowing
Not an expected route of exposure.
Symptoms:
Not an expected route of exposure.
Immediate Medical Attention Required
Get medical attention immediately.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
Engineering Controls
Provide general ventilation, local exhaust ventilation, process enclosure or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits and to maintain oxygen levels above 19.5%. Oxygen detectors should be used when asphyxiating gases may be released. Systems under pressure should be regularly checked for leakages.
Hand Protection
Work gloves
Eye Protection
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Respiratory Protection
Use positive pressure airline respirator with escape cylinder or self contained breathing apparatus for oxygen-deficient atmospheres (<19.5%).
Skin/Body Protection
safety shoes are recommended when handling cylinders.
