======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE AREA TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. PERFORM
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION IF NECESSARY. MAINTAIN AIRWAY, BLOOD
PRESSURE AND RESPIRATION. KEEP WARM AT REST. TREAT SYMPTOMATICALLY
AND SUPPORTIV ELY. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. QUALIFIED
MEDICAL PERSONNEL SHOULD ADMINISTER OXYGEN. IT IS UNLIKELY THAT
EMERGENCY TREATMENT WILL BE REQUIRED FOR EYE OR SKIN CONTACT. IF
NEEDED, WARM AFFECTED AREA IN SKIN WITH WARM WATER (107F). GET
MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. IF CONTACT WITH LIQUEFIED OR
COMPRESSED GAS OCCURS, WASH EYE WITH LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER FOR AT
LEAST 15-20 MINUTES. GET MEDIC AL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL OR CARBON DIOXIDE. FOR LARGER FIRES,
USE WATER SPRAY, FOG OR REGUALR FOAM (1993 EMERGENCY RESPONSE
GUIDEBOOK, RSPA P 5800.6).
Fire Fighting Procedures:MOVE CONTAINER FROM FIRE IF YOU CAN DO IT
WITHOUT RISK. COOL CYLINDERS WITH FLOODING AMOUNTS OF WATER FROM AS
FAR A DISTANCE AS POSSIBLE. DO NOT USE WATER DIRECTLY ON MATERIAL,
USE WATER SPRAY TO ABSO RB VAPORS. AVOID BREATHING VAPORS, KEEP
UPWIND.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONTAINER MAY EXPLODE IN HEAT OF FIRE.
CONSIDER EVACUATION OF DOWNWIND AREA IF MATERIAL IS LEAKING.
WITHDRAW IMMEDIATELY IN CASE OF RISING SOUND FROM VENTING SAFETY
DEVICE OR ANY DISCOLORATION OF TANK DUE TO FIRE. MAY LEAVE A
FLAMMABLE RESIDUE
