4. First aid measures
4.1 De scription of first-aid measure s

General advice : This product is of low ac ute toxicity.
Simple asphyxiant, high concentrations can displace oxygen
and caus e drowsiness and dizziness.
Possible cardiac sensitization.
2 / 15

Sudden release of this material from pressuriz ed vessels may

result in cryogenic burns (frostbite).
Remove contaminated clothes except in the case of frostbite.
Always observe self-protection methods
Move out of dangerous area.
Get medical attention immediately.
Show this material safety data sheet to the doctor in
attendance.
If inhaled : Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position

comfortable for breathing.
Do not leave the victim unattended.
Keep patient warm and at rest.
Immediately seek medic al attention.
If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
If unconscious place in recovery position and seek medical
advic e.
In the event of unconsciousness, apnea or cardiac arrest (no
pulse) apply cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
In case of skin contact : Non-irritating to the skin.

Dermal contact with rapidly evaporating liquid could result in
freezing of the tissues or frostbite.
If frostbite has occurred, seek medical attention immediately;
do not rub the affected area or flush with water. To prevent
further damage, do not attempt to remove froz en clothing from
affected area.
If frostbite has not occurred, immediat ely flush affected area
with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
In case of eye contact : This gas is non-irritating; but direct contact with
liquified/pressurized gas or frost particles may produc e s evere
and possibly permanent eye damage from freeze burns.
If eye tissue is frozen, seek medical attention immediately. If
tissue is not frozen, thoroughly flush the eyes with large
amounts of clean low-pressure wat er for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. If irrit ation
persists seek medical attention.
If swallowed : This substance is a gas with a low boiling point; hence, oral
exposure and resulting acute toxicity are unlikely.
4.2 Most important symptom s and effects, both acute and delayed
Symptoms : High vapor concentrations may cause cent ral nervous system
(CNS) depression with symptoms such as nausea, dizziness,
weak ness, headache, loss of coordination, loss of
consciousness, coma and deat h.
Look for evidence of frostbite.
Hazards : Simple asphyxiant.

Skin or eye contact with rapidly evaporating liquid could result
in freezing of the tissues or frostbite.
3 / 15

4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Treatment : Treat symptomatically.
Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control of
symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient.
Epinephrine and other sympathomimetic drugs may initiate
cardiac arrhythmias (irregular beating) in pers ons exposed to
this material.
Treat frost-bitten areas as needed.
5. Fire-fighting measures
5.1 Extingui shing media

Suitable extinguishing media : SMALL FIRE: Use dry chemicals, CO2
LARGE FIRES:
Use wat er spray or fog
Unsuitable extinguishing : DO NOT use water jet.

media
5.2 Special hazards ari sing from the substance or mixture
Specific hazards during fire : Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.
fighting Vapors may travel long distances along the ground before
reaching a source of ignition and flashing back.
When mixed wit h air and exposed to ignition source, vapors
can burn in open or explode if confined.
DO NOT extinguish a leaking gas fire unless leak c an be
stopped. Explosive atmosphere could form. E vacuate area
and fight fire from a maximum distance or use unmanned
hose holders or monitor nozzles. Containers can build up
pressure if exposure to heat; cool with flooding quantities of
water until well after the fire is out. DO NOT direct water at
source of leak or pressure relief devices, icing may occur.
Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting
safety devices or discoloration of vessel. Always stay away
from the ends of "bullet" tanks.
Cont ents under pressure.
When expos ed to open flames or high heat, it can burn and
explode.
Sustained fire attack on vessels may result in a Boiling Liquid
Expanding Vapour Explosion (B LEVE).
Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk.
Potential explosion hazard from reignition, if fire is put out
without shutting off source.
Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing wat er must
be dispos ed of in accordanc e with local r egulations.
5.3 Precautions for fire-fighters

Special protective equipment : Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus
for fire-fighters (SCBA).
Structural firefighters protective clothing will only provide
limited protection.
4 / 15

Always wear thermal protective clothing when handling

refrigerated/cryogenic liquids.
6. Accidental release measures
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Personal precautions : Use personal protective equipment.
Ensure adequat e ventilation.
Eliminate all sources of ignition.
E vacuat e personnel to safe areas.
Beware of vapors accumulating to form ex plosive
concentrations. Vapors can accumulat e in low areas.
Enter area only if strictly necessary. A combustible gas
detector can be used to check for flammable gas or vapors.
6.2 Environmental precautions

Environmental precautions : Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined
areas.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Maritime spillages should be dealt with according to a
Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (SOPEP), as
required by MARPOL Annex1 Regulation 26.
If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform
respective authorities.
An authoritative evaluation of environment al exposure and risk
indicates that no special risk management practices are
needed to control environment al release.
6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Methods for cleaning up : Eliminate all sources of ignition.
Let evaporat e.
All equipment used when handling this product must be
grounded.
Do not touch or walk through spilled material.
Stop leak if you can do it without risk.
If possible, turn leaking container so that gas escapes rather
than liquid.
Suppress (knock down) gases/ vapors/mists with a water spray
jet.
Water spray may reduce vapor; but may not prevent ignition in
closed spaces.
Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined
areas.
Spillages of liquid product in the water will likely result in a
quick and complete vaporization of the product. Isolate the
area and prevent fire/explosion hazard for ships and other
structures, taking into account wind direction and speed, until
the product is completely dispersed.
Note: rec ommended measures are based on the most likely
spillage scenarios for this material; however, local conditions
(wind, air temperature, wave/current direction and speed) may
5 / 15

significantly influence the choice of appropriat e actions. For

this reason, local experts should be consult ed when
necessary. Local regulations may also prescribe or limit
actions to be taken.
In those cases when the presence of dangerous amounts of
H2S in the leaked/spilled product is suspected or proved,
additional or special actions may be warranted, including
access restrictions, use of special protection equipment,
procedures and personnel training.
7. Handling and storage
7.1 Precautions for safe handling

Advice on safe handling : Sudden release of this material from pressuriz ed vessels may
result in cryogenic burns (frostbite).
If inspection shows cylinders in poor condition, immediat ely
contact supplier.
Keep away from all sources of ignition.
Keep container tightly closed when not in use.
While moving cylinder, always keep in place removable valve
cover.
Securely chain cylinders when in use and protect against
physical damage.
Take necessary action to avoid static electricity discharge
(whic h might cause ignition of organic vapors).
Use only non-sparking tools.
Bond and ground all equipment before transferring this
material from one container to another.
The vapor is heavier than air. Beware of accumulation in pits
and confined spaces.
Use only in well ventilated areas.
Wear rec ommended personal protective equipment.
Cont act with liquid and with containers and delivery lines from
which LP G has just been drawn, should be avoided to prevent
cold burns.
