======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHAL:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR, MONITOR FOR RESP DISTRESS & ADMIN
100% HUMIDIFIED SUPPLEMENTAL OXYG W/ASSISTED VENT AS REQD. EYES:IF
TISS FROZEN, SEEK MED ATTN IMMED. DO NOT ALLOW VICTIM TO RUB/KEEP
EYES T IGHTLY SHUT. GENTLY LIFT LIDS & FLUSH IMMED & CONTINUOUSLY
W/FLOODING AMTS OF WATER FOR AT LST 15 MIN & UNTIL TRANSPORTED TO
EMER MED FACILITY. CONSULT OPHTHALMOLOGIST IMMED. SKIN:REMOVE
CONTAM CLTHG. DO NOT REMOVE FROZEN CLTHG FROM FROSTBT AREAS.
IMMERSE EXPOS AREA IN H*2O BATH/CONTINUE REWARMING @
104-108F(40-42C) UNTIL VASODILATORY FLUSH RETURNS. DO NOT RUB
AREA/USE DRY HEAT. CONSULT MD. INGEST :UNLIKELY. IF IT DOES
(SUPDAT)
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NONFLAMMABLE GAS
Extinguishing Media:USE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA APPROPRIATE TO SURROUNDING
FIRE SINCE TRIFLUOROBROMOMETHANE IS NONFLAMMABLE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPRVD SCBA & FULL PROT EQUIP . IF
FEASIBLE & W/OUT UNDUE RISK, MOVE CYLS FROM HAZ AREA. OTHERWISE,
COOL FIRE-EXPOS CYLS UNTIL WELL AFTER FIRE EXTINGUISHED. W/DRAW
IMMED IN CASE OF RIS ING SOUND FROM VENTING SFTY DEVICE AS VESSEL
RUPTURE MAY BE IMMINENT. DO NOT RELS RUNOFF FROM FIRE CTL METHS TO
(SUPDAT)
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CYLS MAY EXPLODE IN HEAT OF FIRE. HAZ
COMBUST PRODS: HYDROGEN FLUORIDE, HYDROGEN BROMIDE, CARBON
MONOXIDE, CARBONYL FLUORIDE & OTHER FLUORIDE & BROMIDE GASES.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:VENT AREA. IF FEASIBLE & W/OUT UNDUE RISK,
STOP GAS FLOW. SOAPY SOLN APPLIED TO CYL MAY HELP DETECT LEAKS.
OTHERWISE, REMOVE LEAKING CYL, PREF TO HOOD/OPEN AREA AWAY FROM
HEAT & IGNIT SOURCES. AVOID D ISCHARGES TO ENVIRON. REPORT ANY
RELS. CLEANUP PERS SHOULD PROTECT AGAINST INHAL & SKIN/EYE CNTCT
W/LIQ. RETURN DEFECTIVE CYL TO SUPPLIER. FOLLOW APPLIC OSHA REGS
(29 CFR 1910.120).
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:AVOID INHAL & CONTACT W/SKIN OR EYES.
USE ONLY W/VENT SUFFICIENT TO KEEP BELOW HAZ LEVELS. STORE CYLS IN
COOL, WELL-VENTD AREA AWAY FROM HEAT & IGNIT SOURCES & INCOMPATS.
PROTECT CYLS AGAINST PHYSICAL DMG. STORE & HANDLE I/A/W 29 CFR
1910.101.
Other Precautions:ENCLOSE ALL PROCESSES TO PREVENT DISPERSION INTO WORK
AREA. USE HALIDE LAMPS OR ELECTRONIC LEAK DETECTORS TO DETECT
PRESENCE OF TOXIC THERMAL DECOMP PRODS. TRIFLUOROBROMOMETHANE
DECOMPOSES ON CONTACT W/OPEN FLAME OR HOT SURFACES.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:SEEK PROFESSIONAL ADVICE PRIOR TO SELECTION &
USE. FOLLOW OSHA REGS (29 CFR 1910.134) & IF NEC, WEAR NIOSH APPRVD
RESP. SELECT RESP BASED ON SUITABILITY TO PROVIDE ADEQ PROT FOR
CNDTNS, LEVEL OF CONTA M & PRESENCE OF SUFFICIENT OXYG.
