7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
NORMAL HANDLING
(Always wear recommended personal protective equipment.)
Avoid breathing vapors and liquid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Do not puncture or drop cylinders, expose them to
open flame or excessive heat. Use authorized cylinders only. Follow standard safety precautions for handling and use of
compressed gas cylinders.
STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area of low fire risk and out of direct sunlight. Protect cylinder and its fittings from physical
damage. Storage in subsurface locations should be avoided. Close valve tightly after use and when empty.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Provide local ventilation at filling zones and areas where leakage is probable.
Mechanical (general) ventilation may be adequate for other operating and storage areas.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
SKIN PROTECTION
Skin contact with refrigerant may cause frostbite. General work clothing and gloves (leather) should provide adequate
protection. If prolonged contact with liquid or gas is anticipated, insulated gloves constructed of PVA, neoprene or butyl
rubber should be used. Any contaminated clothing should be promptly removed and washed before reuse.
EYE PROTECTION
For normal conditions, wear safety glasses. Where there is reasonable probability of liquid contact, wear chemical safety
goggles.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
None generally required for adequately ventilated work situations. For accidental release or non-ventilated situations, or
release into confined space, where the concentration may be above the PEL of 1,000 ppm, use a self-contained, NIOSH
approved breathing apparatus or supplied air respirator. For escape: use the former or a NIOSH approved gas mask with
organic vapor canister.
ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Where contact with liquid is likely, such as in a spill or leak, impervious boots and clothing should be worn. High dose-level
warning signs are recommended for areas of principle exposure. Provide eyewash stations and quick drench shower facilities
at convenient locations. For tank cleaning operations, see OSHA regulations, 29 CFR 1910.132 and 29 CFR 1910.133.
