Natural Gas Odorized

Remove person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, provide artificial respiration. If necessary, provide additional oxygen once breathing is restored if trained to do so.

Remove contaminated clothing.

Symptoms: blistering, frostbite or freeze burns

In case of freeze burn cover eyes to protect from light.

Symptoms: freeze burn

Any extinguisher suitable for Class B fires, dry chemical, fire fighting foam, CO2, and other gaseous agents.

Dangerous fire and explosion hazard when exposed to heat, sparks or flame. Natural gas is lighter than air and may travel long distances to a point of ignition and flash back. Container may explode in heat or fire. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) releases flammable gas at well below ambient temperatures and readily forms a flammable mixture with air.

Gas fires should not be extinguished unless flow of gas can be immediately stopped. Shut off gas source and allow gas to burn out. If spill or leak has not ignited, determine if water spray may assist in dispersing gas or vapor to protect personnel attempting to stop leak. Use water to cool equipment, surfaces and containers exposed to fire and excessive heat. For large fire the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles may be advantageous to further minimize personnel exposure. Isolate area, particularly around ends of storage vessels. Let vessel, tank car or container burn unless leak can be stopped. Withdraw immediately in the event of a rising sound from a venting safety device. Large fires typically require specially trained personnel and equipment to isolate and extinguish the fire.

Stop the source of the release, if safe to do so. Evacuate nonessential personnel and secure all ignition sources. No road flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Consider wind direction, stay upwind and uphill, if possible. Evaluate the direction of product travel.

Do not flush down sewer or drainage systems.

Consider the use of water spray to disperse vapors. Ventilate and gas test area before entering.

Keep away from flame, sparks and excessive temperatures. Bond and ground containers. Use only in well ventilated areas.

Store only in approved containers. Bond and ground containers. Keep away from flame, sparks, excessive temperatures and open flame. Keep containers closed and clearly labeled.

Keep away from flame, sparks and excessive temperatures.

Use adequate ventilation to keep gas and vapor concentrations of this product below occupational exposure and flammability limits, particularly in confined spaces. Use explosion-proof equipment and lighting in classified/controlled areas.

Use cold-impervious, insulating gloves where contact with pressurized gas may occur.

Where there is a possibility of pressurized gas contact, wear splash-proof safety goggles and faceshield.

Use a NIOSH approved positive-pressure, supplied air respirator with escape bottle or self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) for gas concentrations above occupational exposure limits, for potential for uncontrolled release, if exposure levels are not known, or in an oxygen-deficient atmosphere. CAUTION: Flammability limits (i.e., explosion hazard) should be considered when assessing the need to expose personnel to concentrations requiring respiratory protection.

Where contact with pressurized gas may occur, wear apron and faceshield.

This is a stable material.

Will not occur.

Keep away from strong oxidizers, ignition sources and heat.

Strong oxidizers

Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and non-combusted hydrocarbons (smoke).
