| EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE / SYMPTOMS |
INHALATION |
Non toxic below 5000 ppm concentration |
| No symptoms from brief exposure to 5000 ppm |
| Slight dizziness from a few minutes exposure to 130,000 ppm |
| Massive exposure may cause :-
Chronic neurological disorder |
EYE CONTACT |
Prolonged exposure
can cause freezing of the eye. Permanent eye damage or blindness could result |
SKIN CONTACT |
No effects if contact is short timed |
| INGESTION |
Nausea and gastric distress |
| |
| EMERGENCY TREATMENT |
SKIN |
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash with water. |
| Remove to fresh air and restore breathing. Get medical attention. |
| EYES |
Immediately flush with water for 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. |
| INGESTION |
Nothing by mouth, if unconscious. |
| |
| PREVENTIVE MEASURES PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT |
| INHALATION |
Wear suitable respirator if gas concentration is unknown |
| SKIN |
To protect from low temperature of the liquid wear: gloves, overalls, boots made from suitable material resistant to cold. |

| EMERGENCY AND FIRST - AID MEASURES |
| FIRE |
|
| FIRE EXTINGUISHING |
Stop the source of liquid/gas if possible and cool off the container |
| MEDIA |
Extinguish small fire with :-
DCP; HALON; WATER SPRA; FOG; FOAM; CARBON DIOXIDE |
| SPECIAL PROCEDURES |
Fire - fighters should use SCBA & full protective equipment for fighting chemical fire use water spray to cool nearby containers exposed to fire |
| UNUSUAL HAZARDS |
Fire / excessive heat
may cause production of hazardous decomposition products. Explosive mixture (of air -
vapour) can easily form. |
| |
EXPOSURE |
FIRST
- AID MEASURES |
| INHALATION |
Ensure your own safety before attempting rescue
Use the "buddy" system.
Remove source of Propane or move victim to fresh air
If heart has stopped, have trained personnel to immediately
begin artificial respiration.
If breathing has stopped, have trained personnel to
immediately begin cardio-pulmonary resusciation (CPR)
Trained personnel may administer oxygen if Physician advises |
| EYE CONTACT |
For liquid, gently blot or brush away excess chemical
immediately.
Flush affected eye with lukewarm, gently flowing water for 20
minutes holding the eyelid open |
| SKIN CONTACT |
For liquid, flush affected area with lukewarm running water
for at least 20minutes.
Under running water, carefully cut around clothing that sticks
to damaged skin and remove rest of garments |
| INGESTION |
No specific treatment |
| ANTIDOTES / DOSAGES |
Note: Obtain medical treatment immediately for all serious exposures. |

SPILLS |
|
| STEPS TO BE TAKEN |
Shutdown transfer operation and stop leak. Eliminate sources of ignition.
Keep away upwind & warn people downwind of possible
explosion. Wear SCBA. |
| WASTE DISPOSAL |
Only trained personnel should clean up.
Ensure appropriate ventilation.
Use appropriate protective clothing and respirators.
Remove all sources of heat and flame. Stop leak, if safe to do so.
