M13ArO2

Remove to fresh air. If breathing has stopped or is labored, give assisted respirations. Supplemental oxygen may be indicated. If the heart has stopped, trained personnel should begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately. In case of shortness of breath, give oxygen.

Symptoms: Exposure to oxygen deficient atmosphere may cause the following symptoms: Dizziness. Salivation. Nausea. Vomiting. Loss of mobility/consciousness.

Adverse effects not expected from this product.

In case of direct contact with eyes, seek medical advice.

Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.

The product itself does not burn. Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.

Do not use water jet to extinguish.

Upon exposure to intense heat or flame, cylinder will vent rapidly and or rupture violently. Product is nonflammable and does not support combustion.

Move away from container and cool with water from a protected position. Keep containers and surroundings cool with water spray.

Gas/vapor heavier than air. May accumulate in confined spaces, particularly at or below ground level. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Monitor oxygen level. Ventilate the area.

Do not discharge into any place where its accumulation could be dangerous. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

Ventilate the area.

Protect cylinders from physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide or drop. Only experienced and properly instructed persons should handle compressed gases/cryogenic liquids. Before using the product, determine its identity by reading the label. Know and understand the properties and hazards of the product before use. When moving cylinders, use a cart (trolley, hand truck, etc.) designed to transport cylinders. Leave valve protection caps in place until the container has been secured. Use an adjustable strap wrench to remove over-tight or rusted caps. Before connecting the container, check the complete gas system for suitability, particularly for pressure rating and materials. Before connecting the container for use, ensure that back feed from the system into the container is prevented. Ensure the complete gas system has been checked for leaks before use. Employ suitable pressure regulating devices on all containers when the gas is being emitted to systems with lower pressure rating than that of the container. Never insert an object into valve cap openings. Open valve slowly. Close container valve after each use and when empty. Never attempt to repair or modify container valves or safety relief devices. Replace outlet caps or plugs and container caps as soon as container is disconnected from equipment. Do not subject containers to abnormal mechanical shock. Never attempt to lift a cylinder by its valve protection cap or guard. Do not use containers as rollers or supports. Never strike an arc on a compressed gas cylinder or make a cylinder a part of an electrical circuit. Do not smoke while handling product or cylinders. Never re-compress a gas or a gas mixture without first consulting the supplier. Never attempt to transfer gases from one cylinder/container to another. Always use backflow protective device in piping. When returning cylinder install valve outlet cap or plug leak tight. Never use direct flame or electrical heating devices to raise the pressure of a container.

Do not allow storage area temperature to exceed 50°C (122°F).

Do not smoke while handling product or cylinders.

Never strike an arc on a compressed gas cylinder or make a cylinder a part of an electrical circuit. Do not smoke while handling product or cylinders. Never use direct flame or electrical heating devices to raise the pressure of a container.

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

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

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

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