SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 Precaution for safe handling
Protective measures Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Contains gas under pressure. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin and clothing. Avoid breathing gas. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not puncture or incinerate container. Use
equipment rated for cylinder pressure. Close valve after each use and when empty. Protect cylinders from physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide, or
drop. Use a suitable hand truck for cylinder movement.
Advice on general occupational hygiene Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and
processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before
entering eating areas. See also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene measures.
Conditions for safe storage,including any incompatibility Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and approved area.
Store away from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10). Keep container tightly closed
and sealed until ready for use. Cylinders should be stored upright, with valve protection cap in place, and rmly secured to prevent falling or being
knocked over. Cylinder temperatures should not exceed 52ºC (125ºF).
SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Appropriate engineering controls Good general ventilation should be sufcient to control worker exposure to airborne contaminants.
Environmental exposure controls Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they comply with the
requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers, lters or engineering modications to the process equipment will
be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
Precautions for safe handling
Protective measures Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Contains gasunder pressure. Avoid contact with eyes, skin
and clothing. Avoid breathing gas. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous.
Individual protection measure
Hygiene measure Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking, using the lavatory and at the
end of your shift. Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.
Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
Eye/Face protection Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid
exposure to liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts. If contact is possible, the following protection should be worn, unless the assessment indicates a
higher degree of protection: safety glasses with side-shields.
