Section: 6. Accidental release measures
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal precautions
WARNING! Liquid and gas under pressure. Rapid release of gaseous carbon
dioxide through a valve can result in the formation of dry ice, which is very cold
and can cause frostbite.
Evacuate area.
Use protective clothing.
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus when entering area unless atmosphere
is proved to be safe.
Ensure adequate air ventilation.
6.2 Environmental precautions
Try to stop release.
Prevent from entering sewers, basements and work pits, or any place where its
accumulation can be dangerous.
6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
