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.

In case of frostbite spray with water for at least 15 minutes. Apply a sterile dressing. Obtain medical assistance.

Symptoms: frostbite

Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes.

Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.

Water spray or fog. Carbon dioxide. Dry powder. Shutting off the source of the gas is the preferred method of control. Be aware of the risk of formation of static electricity with the use of CO2 extinguishers. Do not use them in places where a flammable atmosphere may be present.

Do not use water jet to extinguish.

Exposure to fire may cause containers to rupture/explode.

Use fire control measures appropriate for the surrounding fire. Cool endangered receptacles with water spray jet from a protected position. If possible, stop flow of product. Use water spray or fog to knock down fire fumes if possible. Do not extinguish a leaking gas flame unless absolutely necessary. Spontaneous/explosive re-ignition may occur. Extinguish any other fire. Move containers away from the fire area if this can be done without risk.

Act in accordance with local emergency plan. Try to stop release. Evacuate area. Eliminate ignition sources. Ensure adequate air ventilation. Prevent from entering sewers, basements and workpits, or any place where its accumulation can be dangerous. Stay upwind. Monitor concentration of released product. Consider the risk of potentially explosive atmospheres.

Prevent from entering sewers, basements and workpits, or any place where its accumulation can be dangerous.

Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Keep away from ignition sources (including static discharges). Use only properly specified equipment which is suitable for this product, its supply pressure and temperature. Purge air from system before introducing gas. Do not smoke while handling product. Avoid suck back of water, acid and alkalis. Only experienced and properly instructed persons should handle gases under pressure. Ensure the complete gas system was (or is regularly) checked for leaks before use. Assess the risk of potentially explosive atmospheres and the need for explosion-proof equipment. Consider the use of only non-sparking tools. The product must be handled in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety procedures. Consider pressure relief device(s) in gas installations. Do not breathe gas. Avoid release of product into work area. Ensure equipment is adequately earthed.

Keep container below 50°C in a well ventilated place. Containers should be stored in the vertical position and properly secured to prevent them from falling over. Containers should not be stored in conditions likely to encourage corrosion.

The product must be handled in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety procedures.

Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Keep away from ignition sources (including static discharges). Do not smoke while handling product. Consider the use of only non-sparking tools.

Provide adequate general and local exhaust ventilation. Product to be handled in a closed system. Systems under pressure should be regularly checked for leakages. Ensure exposure is below occupational exposure limits (where available). Gas detectors should be used when flammable gases/vapours may be released. Consider the use of a work permit system e.g. for maintenance activities.

Wear working gloves when handling gas containers. Standard EN 388 - Protective gloves against mechanical risks, performance level 1 or higher. Recommended types include wrist gloves from leather or synthetic material with equivalent performance, fabric gloves, fabric gloves with leather palms. Wear cold insulating gloves when transfilling or breaking transfer connections. Standard EN 511 - Cold insulating gloves, performance level 1 or higher. Recommended types include insulated gauntlets or gloves specifically selected to prevent liquid penetration and ingress of cryogenic liquids and to provide mechanical resistance.

Wear goggles when transfilling or breaking transfer connections. Standard EN 166 - Personal eye-protection - specifications. Standard EN ISO 16321-1 - Eye and face protection for occupational use Part 1: General requirements.

Self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or positive pressure airline with mask are to be used in oxygen-deficient atmospheres. 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. Consult respiratory device supplier’s product information for the selection of the appropriate device.

Consider the use of flame resistant anti-static safety clothing. Standard EN ISO 14116 - Limited flame spread materials. Standard EN 1149-5 - Protective clothing: Electrostatic properties. Wear safety shoes while handling containers. Standard EN ISO 20345 - Personal protective equipment - Safety footwear.

Refer to local regulations for restriction of emissions to the atmosphere. See section 13 for specific methods for waste gas treatment.

Stable under normal conditions.

No reactivity hazard other than the effects described in sub-sections below.

Can form explosive mixture with air. May react violently with oxidants.

Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. – No smoking. Avoid moisture in installation systems.

Air, Oxidisers. For additional information on compatibility refer to ISO 11114.

Under normal conditions of storage and use, hazardous decomposition products should not be produced.

Waste gas should be flared through a suitable burner with flash back arrestor.

Contact supplier if guidance is required. Return unused product in original container to supplier.

Avoid transport on vehicles where the load space is not separated from the driver's compartment. Ensure vehicle driver is aware of the potential hazards of the load and knows what to do in the event of an accident or an emergency. Before transporting product containers: - Ensure there is adequate ventilation. - Ensure that containers are firmly secured. - Ensure valve is closed and not leaking. - Ensure valve outlet cap nut or plug (where provided) is correctly fitted. - Ensure valve protection device (where provided) is correctly fitted.
