5.3 Advice for firefighters

Special fire fighting In case of fire: Stop leak if safe to do so. Continue water spray from protected
procedures: position until container stays cool. Use extinguishants to contain the fire. Isolate
the source of the fire or let it burn out.

Special protective equipment Firefighters must use standard protective equipment including flame retardant
for firefighters: coat, helmet with face shield, gloves, rubber boots, and in enclosed spaces, SCBA.
Guideline: EN 469 Protective clothing for firefighters. Performance requirements
for protective clothing for firefighting. EN 15090 Footwear for firefighters. EN 659
Protective gloves for firefighters. EN 443 Helmets for fire fighting in buildings and
other structures. EN 137 Respiratory protective devices - Self-contained open-
circuit compressed air breathing apparatus with full face mask - Requirements,
testing, marking.

SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures

6.1 Personal precautions, Evacuate area. Provide adequate ventilation. Prevent from entering sewers,
protective equipment and basements and workpits, or any place where its accumulation can be dangerous.
emergency procedures: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus when entering area unless atmosphere
is proved to be safe. EN 137 Respiratory protective devices - Self-contained open-
circuit compressed air breathing apparatus with full face mask - Requirements,
testing, marking.

SECTION 7: Handling and Storage:

7.1 Precautions for safe handling: Only experienced and properly instructed persons should handle gases under
pressure. Use only properly specified equipment which is suitable for this product,
its supply pressure and temperature. Refer to supplier's handling instructions. The
substance must be handled in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety
procedures. Protect containers from physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide or
drop. Do not remove or deface labels provided by the supplier for the
identification of the container contents. When moving containers, even for short
distances, use appropriate equipment eg. trolley, hand truck, fork truck etc.
Secure cylinders in an upright position at all times, close all valves when not in
use. Provide adequate ventilation. Suck back of water into the container must be
prevented. Do not allow backfeed into the container. Avoid suckback of water,
acid and alkalis. Keep container below 50°C in a well ventilated place. Observe all
regulations and local requirements regarding storage of containers. When using
do not eat, drink or smoke. Store in accordance with
local/regional/national/international regulations. Never use direct flame or
electrical heating devices to raise the pressure of a container. 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. Damaged valves
should be reported immediately to the 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. Replace valve outlet
caps or plugs and container caps where supplied as soon as container is
disconnected from equipment. Keep container valve outlets clean and free from
contaminates particularly oil and water. If user experiences any difficulty
operating container valve discontinue use and contact supplier. Never attempt to
transfer gases from one container to another. Container valve guards or caps
should be in place.

7.2 Conditions for safe storage, Containers should not be stored in conditions likely to encourage corrosion. Stored
including any incompatibilities: containers should be periodically checked for general conditions and leakage.
Container valve guards or caps should be in place. Store containers in location free
from fire risk and away from sources of heat and ignition. Keep away from
combustible material.

7.3 Specific end use(s): None.

8.2 Exposure controls

Appropriate engineering Consider a work permit system e.g. for maintenance activities. Ensure adequate
controls: air ventilation. Oxygen detectors should be used when asphyxiating gases may be
released. Provide adequate ventilation, including appropriate local extraction, to
ensure that the defined occupational exposure limit is not exceeded. Systems
under pressure should be regularly checked for leakages. Preferably use
permanent leak tight connections (eg. welded pipes). Do not eat, drink or smoke
when using the product.

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment

assess the risks related to the use of the product and to select the PPE that
matches the relevant risk. The following recommendations should be considered.
Keep self contained breathing apparatus readily available for emergency use.
Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task
being performed and the risks involved.

Eye/face protection: Safety eyewear, goggles or face-shield to EN166 should be used to avoid
exposure to liquid splashes. Wear eye protection to EN 166 when using gases.
Guideline: EN 166 Personal Eye Protection.

Skin protection
Hand Protection: Wear working gloves while handling containers
