Inhalation Move victim to fresh air. Seek immediate medical attention/advice.

Skin contact For dermal contact or suspected frostbite, remove contaminated clothing and flush affected areas with lukewarm water. DO NOT USE HOT WATER. A physican should see the patient promptly if contact with the product has resulted in blistering of the dermal surface or in deep tissue freezing.

Eye contact If frostbite is suspected, flush eyes with cool water for 15 minutes and obtain immediate medical attention.

Ingestion Not an expected route of exposure.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Symptoms Oxygen is not acutely toxic under normal pressure. Oxygen is more toxic when inhaled at elevated pressures. Depending upon pressure and duration of exposure, pure oxygen at elevated pressures may cause cramps, dizziness, difficulty breathing, convulsions, edema and death.

Direct contact with liquid can cause severe frostbite.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Note to physicians Treat symptomatically.

Suitable extinguishing media Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.

Unsuitable extinguishing media None.

Specific extinguishing methods Continue to cool fire exposed cylinders until flames are extinguished. Damaged cylinders should be handled only by specialists.

Specific hazards arising from the chemical May cause or intensify fire; oxidizer. Combustibles in contact with liquid oxygen may explode on ignition or impact.

Will support and accelerate combustion of combustible materials (wood, paper, oil, debris, etc). Cylinders may rupture under extreme heat. Cryogenic liquids and vapors will rapidly freeze water. Do not direct water at source of leak or safety devices; icing may occur.

Protective equipment and precautions for firefighters As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Personal precautions Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in Confined areas. Avoid spills. Do not walk on or roll equipment over spills.

Monitor oxygen level. Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. Use personal protection recommended in Section 8.

Other Information Liquid spill will vaporize and expand rapidly forming an oxygen enriched vapor cloud that may obscure visibility. When in contact with refrigerated/cryogenic liquids, many materials become brittle and are likely to break without warning.

Environmental precautions

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Environmental precautions Prevent spreading of vapors through sewers, ventilation systems and confined areas.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up Methods for containment Stop the flow of gas or remove cylinder to outdoor location if this can be done without risk. If leak is in container or container valve, contact the appropriate emergency telephone number in Section 1 or call your closest Messer location. If system leak, close source valves and safely vent pressure before attempting any repairs.

Methods for cleaning up Return Portable Cryogenic Container to Messer or an authorized distributor.

Precautions for safe handling Advice on safe handling Liquid oxygen cannot be handled in carbon or low alloy steel, 18-8 and 18-10

Stainless steel are acceptable as are copper and its alloys, brass bronze, silicon alloys, Monel®, Inconel®, and beryllium. Teflon®, Teflon® composites, or Kel-F® are preferred non-metallic gasket materials. Oxygen should not be used as a substitute for compressed air in pneumatic equipment since they generally contain flammable lubricants. Equipment able to use oxygen must be "cleaned for oxygen service". Check with the equipment supplier to verify oxygen compatibility for the service conditions.

Keep valves and fittings free from oil and grease Use only equipment of compatible materials of construction Do NOT change or force fit connections Open valve slowly "NO SMOKING" signs should be posted in storage and use areas. Separate flammable gas cylinders from oxygen and other oxidizers by a minimum distance of 20 ft. or by a 5 ft. high barrier with a minimum fire resistance rating of a half an hour.

Cryogenic liquids must be handled and stored only in containers, systems and piping specifically designed for them and constructed of compatible materials for the product. Containers, systems, and piping must be equipped with pressure relief devices to prevent excessive pressure buildup due to vaporization of the liquid as it warms. System vents should be piped to a safe location exterior of the building.

Liquid product is delivered into stationary vacuum jacketed vessels at the customer's location or in portable vacuum-jacketed "liquid" cylinders requiring special handling methods. Consult manufacturer's instructions.

Under normal conditions, portable cryogenic containers will periodically vent product to limit pressure buildup. Ensure that the container is in a well– ventilated area.

Never allow any unprotected part ot the body to touch uninsulated pipes or vessels that contain cold fluids. The extremely cold metal will cause

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

moist flesh to stick fast and tear when one attempts to withdraw from it.

Protect cylinders from physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide or drop.

Never attempt to lift a cylinder by its valve protection cap. When moving cylinders, even for short distance, use a cart designed to transport cylinders. Never insert an object (e.g. wrench, screwdriver, pry bar,etc.)

into valve cap openings. Doing so may damage valve, causing leak to occur. Use an adjustable strap wrench to remove over-tight or rusted caps.

Use only with adequate ventilation. Use a backflow preventive device in piping. Close valve after each use and when empty. If user experiences any difficulty operating cylinder valve discontinue use and contact supplier.

Ensure the complete gas system has been checked for leaks before use.

Never put cylinders into trunks of cars or unventilated areas of passenger vehicles. Never attempt to refill a compressed gas cylinder without the owner's written consent. Never strike an arc on a compressed gas cylinder or make a cylinder a part of an electrical circuit.

Only experienced and properly instructed persons should handle gases under pressure. Always store and handle compressed gas cylinders in accordance with Compressed Gas Association, publication CGA-P1, Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Containers.

For additional recommendations, consult Compressed Gas Association's publications G-4.1, G-4.3, G-4.4, G-4.9, P-2.5, P-45, P-70 and NFPA 55.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Storage Conditions Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area of non-combustible construction away from heavily trafficked areas and emergency exits. Keep at temperatures below 52°C / 125°F. Cylinders should be stored upright with valve protection cap in place and firmly secured to prevent falling. Full and empty cylinders should be segregrated. Use a "first in-first out" inventory system to prevent full cylinders from being stored for excessive periods of time. Stored containers should be periodically checked for general condition and leakage. Do not store near combustible materials.

Incompatible materials Combustible materials. Organic material. Reducing agents. Oil. Grease.
