8.2. Exposure controls
Engineering measures: Provide natural or explosion-proof ventilation that is adequate to ensure flammable gas does
not reach its lower explosive limit.
Respiratory protection: High Concentrations can cause rapid suffocation and are in the flammable range the area
should not be entered.
Hand protection: Sturdy work gloves are recommended for handling cylinders.
Eye protection: Safety glasses recommended when using the product.
Skin protection:
Arms and legs need to be protected from possible liquid gas contact. Safety footwear
recommended when handling cylinders.
