4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye contact : Not applicable.
Skin contact : Not applicable.
Ingestion : Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.
Inhalation : Move to fresh air.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media : All known extinguishing media can be used.
Specific hazards : Can support combustion. Upon exposure to intense heat or flame, cylinder will
vent rapidly and or rupture violently. Move away from container and cool with
water from a protected position. If possible, stop flow of product. Keep adjacent
cylinders cool by spraying with large amounts of water until the fire burns itself
out. Most cylinders are designed to vent contents when exposed to elevated
temperatures.
Special protective equipment : Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary.
for fire-fighters
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions : Ventilate the area.
Environmental precautions : Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Methods for cleaning up : Ventilate the area.
Additional advice : If possible, stop flow of product. If leak is from cylinder or cylinder valve, call the
Air Products emergency telephone number. If the leak is in the user鈥檚 system,
close the cylinder valve and safely vent the pressure before attempting repairs.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Cylinders should be stored upright with valve protection cap in place and firmly secured to prevent falling or
being knocked over. Use equipment rated for cylinder pressure. Protect cylinders from physical damage; do not
drag, roll, slide or drop. Do not allow storage area temperature to exceed 50掳C (122掳F). Only experienced and
properly instructed persons should handle compressed gases. Before using the product, determine its identity
by reading the label. Know and understand the properties and hazards of the product before use. When doubt
exists as to the correct handling procedure for a particular gas, contact the supplier. Do not remove or deface
labels provided by the supplier for the identification of the cylinder contents. When moving cylinders, even for
short distances, use a cart (trolley, hand truck, etc.) designed to transport cylinders. Leave valve protection caps
in place until the container has been secured against either a wall or bench or placed in a container stand and is

ready for use. Use an adjustable strap wrench to remove over-tight or rusted caps. Before connecting the
container, check the complete gas system for suitability, particularly for pressure rating and materials. Before
connecting the container for use, ensure that back feed from the system into the container is prevented. Ensure
the complete gas system is compatible for pressure rating and materials of construction. Ensure the complete
gas system has been checked for leaks before use. Employ suitable pressure regulating devices on all
containers when the gas is being emitted to systems with lower pressure rating than that of the container. Never
insert an object (e.g. wrench, screwdriver, pry bar, etc.) into valve cap openings. Doing so may damage valve,
causing a leak to occur. Open valve slowly. If user experiences any difficulty operating cylinder valve
discontinue use and contact supplier. Close container valve after each use and when empty, even if still
connected to equipment. Never attempt to repair or modify container valves or safety relief devices. Damaged
valves should be reported immediately to the supplier. Close valve after each use and when empty. Replace
outlet caps or plugs and container caps as soon as container is disconnected from equipment. Do not subject
containers to abnormal mechanical shocks which may cause damage to their valve or safety devices. Never
attempt to lift a cylinder by its valve protection cap or guard. Do not use containers as rollers or supports or for
any other purpose than to contain the gas as supplied. Never strike an arc on a compressed gas cylinder or
make a cylinder a part of an electrical circuit. Do not smoke while handling product or cylinders. Never re-
compress a gas or a gas mixture without first consulting the supplier. Never attempt to transfer gases from one
cylinder/container to another. Always use backflow protective device in piping. When returning cylinder install
valve outlet cap or plug leak tight. Never use direct flame or electrical heating devices to raise the pressure of a
container. Containers should not be subjected to temperatures above 50掳C (122掳F). Prolonged periods of cold
temperature below -30掳C (-20掳F) should be avoided.
Storage
Containers should be stored in a purpose build compound which should be well ventilated, preferably in the
open air. Full containers should be stored so that oldest stock is used first. Observe all regulations and local
requirements regarding storage of containers. Protect containers stored in the open against rusting and
extremes of weather. Containers should not be stored in conditions likely to encourage corrosion. Containers
should be stored in the vertical position and properly secured to prevent toppling. The container valves should
be tightly closed and where appropriate valve outlets should be capped or plugged. Container valve guards or
caps should be in place. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Store containers in
location free from fire risk and away from sources of heat and ignition. Full and empty cylinders should be
segregated. Do not allow storage temperature to exceed 50掳C (122掳F). Return empty containers in a timely
manner.
Technical measures/Precautions
Containers should be segregated in the storage area according to the various categories (e.g. flammable, toxic,
etc.) and in accordance with local regulations.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection : Not required for properly ventilated areas.
Hand protection : Sturdy work gloves are recommended for handling cylinders.
The breakthrough time of the selected glove(s) must be greater than the
intended use period.
Eye protection : Safety glasses recommended when handling cylinders.
Skin and body protection : Safety shoes are recommended when handling cylinders.
