SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES

4.1.       Description of First-aid Measures  

First-aid Measures General:  Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If you feel unwell, seek medical advice (show the label where possible). If frostbite or freezing occurs, immediately flush with plenty of lukewarm water to GENTLY warm the affected area. Do not use hot water. Do not rub affected area. Get immediate medical attention.

First-aid Measures After Inhalation:  Obtain medical attention if breathing difficulty persists. First, take proper precautions to ensure your own safety before attempting rescue (e.g. wear appropriate respiratory protective equipment, use the buddy system), then remove the exposed person to fresh air. Keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.

First-aid Measures After Skin Contact:  Remove contaminated clothing. Drench affected area with water for at least 5 minutes. Obtain medical attention if irritation develops or persists. For brief contact with a small amount: Rewarm with body heat. Get immediate medical advice/attention. For extensive contact or a large amount: Immediately call a poison center/doctor and follow their advice. Specific treatment is urgent, incorrect first-aid practices will aggravate the injury. Protect affected area with a loose cover until proper medical treatment is received.

First-aid Measures After Eye Contact:  Rinse cautiously with water for at least 5 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Obtain medical attention if irritation develops or persists.

First-aid Measures After Ingestion:  Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Get immediate medical attention.

4.2.       Most Important Symptoms and Effects Both Acute and Delayed 

Symptoms/Injuries:  Asphyxia by lack of oxygen: risk of death. May cause frostbite on contact with the liquid.

Symptoms/Injuries After Inhalation:  In elevated concentrations may cause asphyxiation, central nervous system effects, and increased breathing rate. Symptoms of asphyxiation include headache, dizziness, rapid breathing, increased pulse, mood changes, tremors, cyanosis, muscular weakness, narcosis, numbness of the extremities, unconsciousness and death.

Symptoms/Injuries After Skin Contact:  Contact with gas/liquid escaping the container can cause frostbite and freeze burns.

Symptoms/Injuries After Eye Contact:  Contact with gas/liquid escaping the container can cause frostbite, freeze burns, and permanent eye damage.

Symptoms/Injuries After Ingestion:  Not considered a potential route of exposure, but contact with gas/liquid escaping the container can cause freeze burns and frostbite.

Chronic Symptoms:  None expected under normal conditions of use.

4.3.       Indication of Any Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment Needed  

If exposed or concerned, get medical advice and attention. If medical advice is needed, have product container or label at hand

 

SECTION 5: FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

5.1.       Extinguishing Media 

Suitable Extinguishing Media:  Do not extinguish burning gas if flow cannot be shut off immediately. Extinguish secondary FIRES with appropriate materials.

Unsuitable Extinguishing Media:  Do not use a heavy water stream. Use of heavy stream of water may spread fire.

5.2.       Special Hazards Arising From the Substance or Mixture 

Fire Hazard:  Extremely flammable gas. The gas is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible.

Explosion Hazard:  May form flammable/explosive vapor-air mixture. Container may explode in heat of fire.

Reactivity:  Hazardous reactions will not occur under normal conditions.

5.3.       Advice for Firefighters 

Precautionary Measures Fire:  Exercise caution when fighting any chemical fire.

Firefighting Instructions:  Use water spray or fog for cooling exposed containers. Leaking gas fire: Do not extinguish, unless leak can be stopped safely. Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. Fight fire remotely due to the risk of explosion..

Protection During Firefighting:  Do not enter fire area without proper protective equipment, including respiratory protection.

Hazardous Combustion Products:  Carbon oxides (CO, CO2).

Other Information:  Use water spray to disperse vapors.

 

SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

6.1.       Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures

General Measures:  Eliminate every possible source of ignition. Do not breathe gas.

6.1.1.      For Non-Emergency Personnel 

Protective Equipment:  Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).

Emergency Procedures:  Evacuate unnecessary personnel.

6.1.2.      For Emergency Personnel 

Protective Equipment:  Equip cleanup crew with proper protection.

Emergency Procedures:  Upon arrival at the scene, a first responder is expected to recognize the presence of dangerous goods, protect oneself and the public, secure the area, and call for the assistance of trained personnel as soon as conditions permit. Evacuate unnecessary personnel, isolate, and ventilate area.

6.2.       Environmental Precautions 

Prevent entry to sewers and public waters.

6.3.       Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up 

For Containment:  NSop leak, if possible without risk. As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area in all directions.

Methods for Cleaning Up:  Clean up spills immediately and dispose of waste safely. Stop the source of the release, if safe to do so. Consider the use of water spray to disperse vapors. Isolate the area until gas has dispersed. Ventilate and gas test area before entering. Contact competent authorities after a spill.

6.4.       Reference to Other Sections 

See Section 8 for exposure controls and personal protection and Section 13 for disposal considerations.

SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE

7.1.       Precautions for Safe Handling 

Additional Hazards When Processed:  Asphyxiating gas at high concentrations. Do not pressurize, cut, or weld containers. Ruptured cylinders may rocket. Handle empty containers with care because residual vapors are flammable.

Precautions for Safe Handling:  Wash hands and other exposed areas with mild soap and water before eating, drinking or smoking and when leaving work. Avoid prolonged contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not breathe gas.

Hygiene Measures:  Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety procedures.

7.2.       Conditions for Safe Storage, Including Any Incompatibilities 

Technical Measures:  Comply with applicable regulations. Proper grounding procedures to avoid static electricity should be followed.

Storage Conditions:  Cylinders should be stored upright with valve protection cap in place and firmly secured to prevent falling. Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a dry, cool place. Keep/Store away from direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures and incompatible materials. Keep in fireproof place

Incompatible Materials:  Strong oxidizers. Chlorine. Oxygen. Nickel carbonyl.

7.3.       Specific End Use(s)  No use is specified.
