HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling
Wear appropriate protective clothing. Prevent skin and eye contact.
Conditions for safe storage
Pressurized containers should be properly stored and secured to prevent falling or being knocked over.
Do not drag, slide or roll pressurized containers. Do not drop pressurized containers or permit them to
strike against each other. Never apply flame or localized heat directly to any part of the pressurized or
plastic container. Store pressurized containers away from high heat sources. Storage area should be: -
cool - dry - well ventilated - under cover - out of direct sunlight

EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Control parameters
Exposure limits are listed below, if they exist.
Workplace Environmental Exposure Level (chronic handling)
WEEL(AIHA)(8 hrs): 50 ppm (v/v), based on the primary component
Manufacturer’s Recommended 1 Hr. Emergency Exposure Limit: 1000ppm (v/v)
Manufacturer’s Recommended 1 Min. Emergency Exposure Limit: 2500ppm (v/v)
Exposure Level When Using Halotron I in a Fire Extinguisher
Exposure when using this material as a fire extinguishing agent - the exposure should not exceed 20,000
ppm (v/v). Guidelines for the safe minimum volume when this agent is used in a confined space are
provided on the label of the extinguisher.
Appropriate engineering controls
Use with adequate ventilation. There should be local procedures for the selection, training, inspection
and maintenance of this equipment. When used in large volumes or odor becomes apparent, use local
exhaust ventilation.
Individual protection measures
Respiratory Protection
Not normally required under conditions of use as a portable fire extinguisher. In oxygen deficient
atmospheres, use a self contained breathing apparatus, as an air purifying respirator will not provide
protection.
Skin Protection
Neoprene, PVC or PVA gloves
Eye/Face Protection
Chemical goggles or safety glasses with side shields.
Body Protection
Normal work wear.
