=============  Composition/Information on Ingredients  =============

Name:OXYGEN
CAS:7782-44-7
RTECS #:RS2060000

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

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Effects of Overexposure:OXYGEN IS NONTOXIC UNDER MOST CONDITIONS OF USE
    & IS NECESSARY TO SUPPORT LIFE. LIQUID OXYGEN OR COLD GAS WILL
    FREEZE TISSUES & CAN CAUSE SEVERE CRYOGENIC      (EXTREMELY LOW
    TEMPERATURE) BURNS.

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

First Aid:IF CRYOGENIC LIQUID OR COLD BOIL OFF CONTACTS WORKER'S SKIN
    OR EYES, FROZEN	TISSUES SHOULD BE FLOODED OR SOAKED W/TEPID
    WATER (105-115F;41-46C). DO NOT USE HOT WATER!! BURNS WHICH RESULT
    IN BLISTE RING OR DEEPER TISSUE FREEZING SHOULD BESEEN PROMPTLY BY
    A PHYSICIAN.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:NA
Lower Limits:NA
Upper Limits:NA
Extinguishing Media:NA
Fire Fighting Procedures:OXYGEN IS NONFLAMMABLE,BUT SUPPORTS &
    VIGOROUSLY ACCELERATES COMBUSTION OF      FLAMMABLES.FIGHT
    FIRES,SHUTOFF SOURCES OF OXYGEN & FIGHT LIKE CONVENTIONAL FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:SOME MATERIALS WHICH ARE NONCOMBUSTIBLE
    IN AIR WILL BURN IN PRESENCE OF OXYGEN.

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

Spill Release Procedures:PREVENT LIQ OXYGEN FROM CONTACTING GREASE,OIL,
       ASPHALT OR COMBUSTIBLES.VENTILATE AREA TO DISPERSE& EVAPORATE
    OXYGEN. FLUSH AREA W/LARGE QTY OF WTR.AVOID SMOKING & CONTACT
    W/SOURCES OF IGNITION AFTR EXPOSURE TO CONCENTRATIN OF OXYGEN.

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

Handling and Storage Precautions:OPEN OXYGEN VALVES SLOWLY. USE A
    SUITABLE HNDTRUCKKEEP CYLINDERS AWAY FROM SOURCES OF HEAT. STORE  
    LIQ CONTAINERS/CYLINDERS IN WELL VENTILATED AREAS.
Other Precautions:DO NOT STORE CYLINDERS OF OXYGEN WITHIN 20FT. OF
    FLAMMABLE OR COMBUSTIBLE MATLS.ESPECIALLY OIL OR GREASE. AVOID
    EXPOSURE TO AREAS WHERE SALT OR OTHER CORROSIVE CHEMICALS ARE
    PRESENT. DO NOT STORE IN H EAVY TRAFFICKED AREAS.

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

Respiratory Protection:NA
Ventilation:PREVENT ACCUMULATION W/NATURAL OR FORCED AIR. VENTS SHOULD 
    BE SITUATED TO AVOID >NORMAL CONCENTRATION OF OXYGEN.
Protective Gloves:LOOSE FITTING GLVS/IMPERMEABLE (LEATHER)
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL GOGGLES OR SAFETY GLASSES
Other Protective Equipment:NA
Supplemental Safety and Health

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

Waste Disposal Methods:ALLOW LIQ OXYGEN TO EVAPORATE IN A WELL
    VENTILATEDOUTDOOR AREA. VENT OXYGEN GAS TO OUTSIDE
    LOCATION.DISPOSAL SITE SHOULD BE REMOTE FROM WORK AREAS.   FLUSHING
    W/WTR WILL INCREASE THE VAPORIZATION RATE OF THE LIQUID.
