EXCLUDE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF OXYGEN TO THE LUNGS CAUSES DIZZINESS,
DROWSINESS AND EVENTUAL UNCONSCIOUSNESS. PERSONS WITH ILL HEALTH WERE SUCH
ILLNESS WOULD BE AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE TO NITROGEN SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO
WORK WITH OR HANDLE THIS PRODUCT.
Explanation Of Carcinogenicity: NO DATA PROVIDED BY MANUFACTURER
Signs And Symptions Of Overexposure: INHALATION: OVEREXPOSURE TO HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS SO AS TO EXCLUDE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF OXYGEN TO THE LUNGS
CAUSES DIZZINESS, DROWSINESS AND EVENTUAL UNCONSCIOUSNESS. PERSONS WITH ILL
HEALTH WERE SUCH ILLNESS WOULD BE AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE TO NITROGEN SHOULD
NOT BE ALLOWED TO WORK WITH OR HANDLE THIS PRODUCT.
Medical Cond Aggravated By Exposure: NO DATA PROVIDED BY MANUFACTURER
First Aid: INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF UNCONSCIOUS OR BREATHING IS
DIFFICULT, ADMINISTER ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION WITH SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN. KEEP
WARM AND AT REST. CAUTION WHEN ENTERING CONTAMINATED AREAS T O VENTILATE TO
ACCEPTABLE OXYGEN LEVELS. SEE CGA BULLETIN SB-2 "OXYGEN DEFICIENT
ATMOSPHERES."
=======================================================
Handling and Disposal
=======================================================
Spill Release Procedures: EVACUATE ALL PERSONNEL UPWIND AND AWAY FROM AFFECTED
AREA. STOP LEAK IF POSSIBLE. IF LEAKING CONTAINER(S) IS (ARE) IN AN ENCLOSED
AREA, VENTILATE TO ACCEPTABLE RESPIRABLE OXYGEN LEVEL BEFORE ENTERING.
Neutralizing Agent: NO DATA PROVIDED BY MANUFACTURER
Waste Disposal Methods: LOCATE LEAKING CONTAINERS TO A REMOVE DOWNWIND AREA
OUTSIDE AND ALLOW TO VENT TO ATMOSPHERE. FOLLOW ALL FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL
REGULATIONS.
Handling And Storage Precautions: PROTECT CYLINDERS AGAINST PHYSICAL DAMAGE.
STORE IN COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM SOURCES OF HEAT OR DIRECT
SUNLIGHT. DO NOT ALLOW AREAS WHERE CYLINDERS ARE STORED TO EXCEED 125 F. USE
A C HECK VALVE OR TRAP IN THE CYLINDER DISCHARGE LINE TO PREVENT HAZARDOUS
BACKFLOW.
Other Precautions: USE ONLY DOT OR ASME CODED CONTAINERS. USE A PRESSURE
REDUCING REGULATOR WHEN CONNECTING CYLINDER TO LOWER PRESSURE PIPING OR
SYSTEM. CLOSE VALVE AFTER EACH USE AND WHEN EMPTY. FOR MORE INFORMATION RE
FER TO CGA PAMPHLET P-1 "SAFE HANDLING OF COMPRESSED GASES IN CONTAINERS."
=======================================================
Fire and Explosion Hazard Information
=======================================================
Extinguishing Media: NONFLAMMABLE, INERT GAS
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard: IF CYLINDERS ARE INVOLVED IN A FIRE, SAFELY
RELOCATE OR KEEP COOL WITH WATER SPRAY.
=======================================================
Control Measures
=======================================================
Respiratory Protection: IN THE EVENT OF MAJOR LEAK, SELF CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS MAY BE REQUIRED.
Ventilation: LOCAL EXHAUST/MECHANICAL (GENERAL): TO PREVENT ACCUMULATION SO AS
TO EXCLUDE AN ADEQUATE OXYGEN SUPPLY
Protective Gloves: ANY MATERIAL
Eye Protection: SAFETY GOGGLES OR GLASSES
Other Protective Equipment: SAFETY SHOES.
Work Hygienic Practices: NO DATA PROVIDED BY MANUFACTURER
Supplemental Safety and Health: USE A CHECK VALVE OR TRAP IN THE CYLINDER
DISCHARGE LINE TO PREVENT HAZARDOUS BACKFLOW. CYLINDERS SHOULD BE STORED
UPRIGHT & FIRMLY SECURED TO PREVENT FALLING OR BEING KNOCKED OVER.
CYLINDERS MAY NOT BE REFILLED EXCEPT BY OR WITH THE CONSENT OF LIQUID
CARBONIC.
