Route Of Entry Inds - Inhalation: YES
Skin: NO
Ingestion: NO
Carcinogenicity Inds - NTP: YES
IARC: NO
OSHA: NO
Effects of Exposure: HIGH PRESSURE EFFECTS (>2 ATMOSPHERES OF OXYGEN) ARE ON
CNS. IMPROPER DECOMPRESSION RESULTS IN ACCUMULATION OF NITROGEN IN BLOOD.
Explanation Of Carcinogenicity: SEE INGREDIENTS.
Signs And Symptions Of Overexposure: TINGLING OF FINGERS & TOES, ABNORMAL
SENSATIONS, IMPAIRED COORDINATION, CONFUSION, DECOMPRESSION SICKNESS,
PAINS/BENDS.
First Aid: INHALATION: DECOMPRESSION EQUIPMENT MAY BE REQUIRED. OBTAIN MEDICAL
ATTENTION IN ALL CASES.
=======================================================
Handling and Disposal
=======================================================
Waste Disposal Methods: DISPOSE OF IAW/FEDERAL, STATE & LOCAL REGULATIONS.
NONFLAMMABLE GAS UN1002.
Handling And Storage Precautions: PROTECT CYLINDERS FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE. STORE
IN COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM HEAVY TRAFFIC AREAS &
EMERGENCY EXITS. STORE <130F.
Other Precautions: STORE CYLINDERS UPRIGHT & FIRMLY SECURED TO PREVENT
FALLING/BEING KNOCKED OVER. SEGRAGATE FULL & EMPTY CYLINDERS. USE FIRST
IN-FIRST OUT INVENTORY SYSTEM TO PREVENT FULL CYLINDERS BEING STORED FOR EXC
ESSIVE PERIODS OF TIME. (SEE SUPP)
=======================================================
Fire and Explosion Hazard Information
=======================================================
Flash Point Text: NON-FLAMMABLE
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard: COMPRESSED AIR AT HIGH PRESSURES WILL ACCELERATE
BURNING OF MATERIALS TO A GREATER RATE THAN THEY BURN AT ATMOSPHERIC
PRESSURE.
=======================================================
Control Measures
=======================================================
Protective Gloves: ANY MATERIAL
Eye Protection: SAFETY GOGGLES/GLASSES
Other Protective Equipment: SAFETY SHOES
Supplemental Safety and Health: OTHER PRECAUTIONS: COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDERS
SHOULDN'T BE REFILLED EXCEPT BY QUALIFIED PRODUCERS OF COMPRESSED GASES.
DON'T DRAG, SLIDE/ROLL CYLINDERS. USE A SUITABLE HAND TRUCK FOR CYLINDER
MOVEMENT. DON'T HEAT CYLINDER BY ANY MEANS TO INCREASE DISCHARGE RATE OF
PRODUCT FROM CYLINDER.
