Safety Data Sheet - Petroleum Gases, Liquefied
Special Protective Fire-Fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained
Equipment for Fire-Fighters breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.
Follow OSHA regulations [29 CFR*1910.120(g)]. Emergency response to hazardous
substances.
Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions Immediately contact emergency personnel. Keep unnecessary personnel away.
Use suitable protective equipment (section 8). Shut off gas supply if this can be done
safely. Isolate area until gas has dispersed.
Environmental Precautions Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers.
Methods for Cleaning Up Immediately contact emergency personnel. Stop leak if without risk. Use spark-proof
tools and explosion-proof equipment. Note: See section 1 for emergency contact
information and section 13 for waste disposal.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Handling Use only with adequate ventilation. Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting,
and material handling) equipment. High pressure gas. Do not puncture or incinerate
container. Keep container closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. To avoid
fire, eliminate ignition sources. Protect cylinders from physical damage; do not drag,
roll, slide or drop. Use a suitable hand truck for cylinder removal.
Storage Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed and
sealed until ready for use. Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame).
Segregate from oxidizing materials. Cylinders should be stored upright with valve
protection cap in place, and firmly secured to prevent falling or being knocked over.
Cylinder temperatures should not exceed 52°C (125°F).
Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation
or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants
below any recommended or statutory limits. The engineering controls also need to
keep gas, vapor, or dust concentrations below any lower explosive limits.
Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.
Personal Protection
Eyes 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,
or dusts.
Skin Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task
being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist
before handling this product.
Respiratory Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved
standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must
be based known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the
safe working limits of the selected respirator.
