=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:PERSONNEL, INCLUDING RESCUE WORKERS,
    SHOULD NOT ENTER AREAS WHERE THE OXYGEN    CONCENTRATION IS BELOW
    19%, UNLESS PROVIDED W/SELFCONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS OR AIRLINE
    RESPIRATOR.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NITROGEN IS A SIMPLE ASPHYXIANT AND HAS
    NO TLV
Effects of Overexposure:OXYGEN DEFICIENT ATMOSPHERES MAY PRODUCE
    DIZZINESS,NAUSEA,VOMITING,LOSS OF CON  SCIOUSNESS, AND DEATH.
    EXTENSIVE TISSUE DAMAGE OR BURNS CAN RESULT FROM EXPOSURETO LIQUID
    NITROGEN OR COLD NITROGEN VAPO RS.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:PERSONS SUFFERING FORM LACK OF OXYGEN SHOULD BE MOVED TO
    NORMAL ATMOSPHERES.    ASSISTED RESPIRATION & SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN
    SHOULD BE GIVEN IF THE VICTIM IS NOT BREATHING. IF CRYOGENIC LIQ OR
    COLD BOIL OFF GAS CONTACTS A WORKER'S EYES/SKINFROZEN TISSUES
    SHOULD BE FLOODED/SOAKED W/TEPID WATER (105-115F;41-46C). DO NOT
    USE HOT WATER!!! SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:AVOID SKIN CONTACT W/LIQ NITROGEN OR COLD
    BOILOFF GAS.FLUSH LIQ NITROGEN SPILL W/WATER TO DISPERSE. VENTILATE
    ENCLOSED AREAS TO PREVENT FORMATION OF  OXYGEN DEFICIENT
    ATMOSPHERES CAUSED BY EVAPORATION OF LIQ NITROGEN OR RELEASE OF
    GASEOUS NITROGEN.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:USE SUITABLE HANDTRUCK.AVOID
    DRAGGING,ROLLING,OR  SLIDING CYLINDERS.KEEP CYLINDERS AWAY FORM
    SOURCESOF HEAT.STORAGE SHOULD NOT BE IN HVY TRAFFIC AREA.
Other Precautions:SEGREGATE FULL/EMPTY CYLINDERS.STORAGE SHOULD BE FREE
    OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL.  AVOID USE OF CARBON STEEL & OTHER
    MATERIAL WHICH BECOME BRITTLE AT LOW TEMPERATRAVOID EXPOSURE TO
    AREAS WHERE SALT OR OT HER CORROSIVE CHEMICALS ARE PRESENT.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:USE SELFCONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IN OXYGEN
    DEFICIENT ATMOSPHERES. CAUTION!!RESPIRATORS WILL NOT FUNCTION. USE
    MAY RESULT IN ASPHYXIATION.
Ventilation:NATURAL/MECHANICAL W/GAS IS PRESENT.VENTS SHOULD BE
    SITUATEDTO AVOID HIGHER THAN NRML CONCENTRATION OF NITROGEN IN
    AREA.

====================  Disposal Considerations  ====================

Waste Disposal Methods:ALLOW LIQ NITROGEN TO EVAPORATE IN WELL
    VENTILATE OUTDOOR LOCATION REMOTE FROM WORK AREAS.VENT NITROGEN GAS
    SLOWLY TO A WELL VENTL OUTDOOR LOCATION   AWAY FROM WORK AREAS. DO
    NOT ATTEMPT TO DISPOSE    OF RESIDUAL NITROGEN IN COMPRESS GAS
    CYLINDERS.
