5.3 Advice for firefighters


Special fire fighting In case of fire: Stop leak if safe to do so. Do not extinguish flames at leak because
procedures: possibility of uncontrolled explosive reignition exists. Continue water spray from
protected position until container stays cool. Use extinguishants to contain the
fire. Isolate the source of the fire or let it burn out.

Special protective equipment Firefighters must use standard protective equipment including flame retardant
for fire-fighters: coat, helmet with face shield, gloves, rubber boots, and in enclosed spaces, SCBA.
Guideline: EN 469 Protective clothing for firefighters. Performance requirements
for protective clothing for firefighting. EN 15090 Footwear for firefighters. EN 659

other structures. EN 137 Respiratory protective devices - Self-contained open-
circuit compressed air breathing apparatus with full face mask - Requirements,

SECTION 6: Accidental release measures

6.1 Personal precautions, Evacuate area. Provide adequate ventilation. Consider the risk of potentially
protective equipment and explosive atmospheres . Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. Monitor the
emergency procedures: concentration of the released product. Prevent from entering sewers, basements
and workpits, or any place where its accumulation can be dangerous. Wear self-
contained breathing apparatus when entering area unless atmosphere is proved
to be safe. EN 137 Respiratory protective devices - Self-contained open-circuit

6.4 Reference to other sections: Refer to sections 8 and 13.

SECTION 7: Handling and storage:

7.1 Precautions for safe handling: Only experienced and properly instructed persons should handle gases under
pressure. Use only properly specified equipment which is suitable for this product,
its supply pressure and temperature. Purge system with dry inert gas (e.g. helium
or nitrogen) before gas is introduced and when system is placed out of service.
Purge air from system before introducing gas. Containers, which contain or have
contained flammable or explosive substances, must not be inerted with liquid
carbon dioxide. Assess the risk of a potentially explosive atmosphere and the
need for suitable equipment i.e. explosion-proof. Take precautionary measures
against static discharges. Keep away from ignition sources (including static
discharges). Provide electrical earthing of equipment and electrical equipment
usable in explosive atmospheres. Use only non-sparking tools. Refer to supplier's
handling instructions. The substance must be handled in accordance with good
industrial hygiene and safety procedures. Ensure the complete system has been
(or is regularly) checked for leaks before use. Protect containers from physical
damage; do not drag, roll, slide or drop. Do not remove or deface labels provided
by the supplier for the identification of the container contents. When moving
containers, even for short distances, use appropriate equipment eg. trolley, hand
truck, fork truck etc. Secure cylinders in an upright position at all times, close all
valves when not in use. Provide adequate ventilation. Suck back of water into the
container must be prevented. Do not allow backfeed into the container. Avoid
suckback of water, acid and alkalis. Keep container below 50°C in a well
ventilated place. Observe all regulations and local requirements regarding storage
of containers. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Store in accordance with
local/regional/national/international regulations. Never use direct flame or
electrical heating devices to raise the pressure of a container. Leave valve
protection caps in place until the container has been secured against either a wall
or bench or placed in a container stand and is ready for use. Damaged valves
should be reported immediately to the supplier Close container valve after each
use and when empty, even if still connected to equipment. Never attempt to
repair or modify container valves or safety relief devices. Replace valve outlet
caps or plugs and container caps where supplied as soon as container is
disconnected from equipment. Keep container valve outlets clean and free from
contaminates particularly oil and water. If user experiences any difficulty
operating container valve discontinue use and contact supplier. Never attempt to
transfer gases from one container to another. Container valve guards or caps
should be in place.

7.2 Conditions for safe storage, All electrical equipment in the storage areas should be compatible with the risk of
including any incompatibilities: a potentially explosive atmosphere. Segregate from oxidant gases and other
oxidants being stored. Containers should not be stored in conditions likely to
encourage corrosion. Stored containers should be periodically checked for general
conditions and leakage. Container valve guards or caps should be in place. Store
containers in location free from fire risk and away from sources of heat and
ignition. Keep away from combustible material.
