Supports combustion. 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. Prevent water used in emergency cases from entering sewers and drainage systems. If possible, stop flow of product. Use water spray or fog to knock down fire fumes if possible. 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.

Try to stop release.

Do not breathe gas. The product must be handled in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety procedures. Only experienced and properly instructed persons should handle gases under pressure. Do not smoke while handling product. Keep equipment free from oil and grease. Use no oil or grease. Use only oxygen approved lubricants and oxygen approved sealings. Avoid suck back of water, acid and alkalis. Refer to supplier's container handling instructions. Do not allow backfeed into the container. Protect containers from physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide or drop. When moving cylinders, use a cart. Leave valve protection caps in place until secured. If difficulty operating valve, discontinue use and contact supplier. Never attempt to repair or modify container valves or safety relief devices. Damaged valves should be reported immediately. Keep container valve outlets clean. Replace valve outlet caps or plugs. Close container valve after each use. Never attempt to transfer gases. Never use direct flame or electrical heating devices. Do not remove or deface labels. Suck back of water into the container must be prevented. Open valve slowly to avoid pressure shock.

Protect containers from physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide or drop. Leave valve protection caps in place until the container has been secured against either a wall or bench or placed in a container stand and is ready for use.

Do not smoke while handling product. Keep equipment free from oil and grease. Use no oil or grease. Never use direct flame or electrical heating devices to raise the pressure of a container.

Provide adequate general and local exhaust ventilation. Systems under pressure should be regularly checked for leakages. Avoid oxygen rich (>23,5%) atmospheres. Gas detectors should be used when oxidising gases 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 risk, performance level 1 or higher.

Wear safety glasses with side shields. Standard EN 166 - Personal eye-protection - specifications.

Standard EN 137 - Self-contained open-circuit compressed air breathing apparatus with full face mask. Self contained breathing apparatus is recommended, where unknown exposure may be expected, e.g. during maintenance activities on installation systems. None necessary.

Consider the use of flame resistant safety clothing. Standard EN ISO 14116 - Limited flame spread materials. 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.
