First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. Respiratory problems: consult a doctor/medical service. Give oxygen or artificial respiration if necessary.

Symptoms: May cause drowsiness or dizziness. In low concentrations may cause narcotic effects. Symptoms may include dizziness, headache, nausea and loss of co-ordination.

Skin contact

Immediately call a POISON CENTER/doctor. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. In case of frostbite spray with water for at least 15 minutes. Apply a sterile dressing. Obtain medical assistance. Do not remove clothing if it sticks to the skin. Take off contaminated clothes, wash skin with plenty of water or have a shower (during minimum 15 minutes) and if necessary take medical advice.

Symptoms: frostbite

Eye contact

IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Immediately call a POISON CENTER/doctor.

Ingestion

Ingestion unlikely. Call a poison center or a doctor if you feel unwell.

Immediate Medical Attention

Immediately call a POISON CENTER/doctor.

Medical Treatment

Treat symptomatically.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Carbon dioxide. Water spray. Dry powder.

Unsuitable media

Do not use foam. Strong water jet.

Specific hazards

Extremely flammable gas. Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated. Under certain conditions, the accidental intense heating (e.g. in the event of a fire) of a butane container can lead to the rupture and dispersion of the product, whose vapours can ignite and cause an explosion.

Instructions

Try to stop release if without risk. Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. Leaking gas fire: Do not extinguish, unless leak can be stopped safely.

Firefighter Protection

Do not attempt to take action without suitable protective equipment. Self-contained breathing apparatus. Complete protective clothing.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Ventilate spillage area. Evacuate area. No open flames, no sparks, and no smoking. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Shut off source of fuel if possible, and allow fire to burn out.

Environmental

Notify fire brigade and environmental authorities.

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Ensure good ventilation of the work station. Wear personal protective equipment. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Comply with the safety instructions. Keep container closed when not in use. Do not re-use empty containers. Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking. Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so.

Storage

Do not expose to temperatures exceeding 50 °C/ 122 °F. Store according to local legislation. Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking. Protect from sunlight. Store butane in accordance with the appropriate regulations depending on the nature and quantities stored. If the storage is large, it may fall under the regulations on Installations Classified for Environmental Protection (ICPE) and must be declared or authorised. In this case, the applicable provisions indicated in the texts on Classified Installations must be complied with. Do not store below ground level (e.g. cellar or basement). Store away from low points where vapours can accumulate. Do not store containers in a vehicle (heating in the sun). Only use containers intended for butane that comply with the regulations. Use suitable electrical equipment (explosion-proof, intrinsically safe, etc.) in hazardous areas.

Hygiene

Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash hands before breaks and after work. Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.

Fire prevention

Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking. Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

No open flames, no sparks, and no smoking. Ensure good ventilation of the work station.

Hands

Choosing the proper glove is a decision that depends not only on the type of material, but also on other quality features, which differ for each manufacturer. Time of penetration is to be checked with the glove producer. Protective gloves, cold insulating gloves, Leather protective gloves

Eyes

Chemical goggles or safety glasses

Respiratory

In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment

Skin/Body

Wear fire/flame resistant/retardant clothing. Use footwear with anti-static or anti-spark features. Protective helmet. Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing

Environmental

Avoid release to the environment.
