x TLV-TWA (Belgium) (ppm) : 5000
x TLV-STEL (Belgium) (ppm) : 30000
x Value 15min. (CZ) [mg/m3] : 45000
In Australia, the recognised exposure limits for CO
2
reference an 8-hour Time
Weighted Average (TWA) of 5,000 ppm and a 15 minute Short Term Exposure
Limit (STEL) of 30,000 ppm. CO
2
at 40,000 ppm is considered Immediately
Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH).

8.2 Exposure control
8.2.1 Appropriate engineering
control
Systems under pressure should be regularly checked for leakages.
Provide adequate general and local exhaust ventilation.
Consider work permit system e.g. for maintenance activities.
8.2.2 Individual protection
measures, e.g. personal protective
equipment
A risk assessment should be conducted and documented in each work area to
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.
Wear safety glasses with side shields
Wear leather safety gloves and safety shoes when handling cylinders.
Personal protection
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Protect eyes, face and skin from liquid splashes.
8.2.3 Appropriate engineering
control
Refer to local regulations for restriction of emissions to the atmosphere. See
section 13 for specific methods for waste gas treatment.
