SECTION 4 First aid measures

4.1. Description of first aid measures

If product comes in contact with eyes remove the patient from gas source or contaminated area.
Take the patient to the nearest eye wash, shower or other source of clean water.
Open the eyelid(s) wide to allow the material to evaporate.
Gently rinse the affected eye(s) with clean, cool water for at least 15 minutes. Have the patient lie or sit down and tilt the head back.
Hold the eyelid(s) open and pour water slowly over the eyeball(s) at the inner corners, letting the water run out of the outer corners.
The patient may be in great pain and wish to keep the eyes closed. It is important that the material is rinsed from the eyes to prevent
further damage.
Ensure that the patient looks up, and side to side as the eye is rinsed in order to better reach all parts of the eye(s)
Eye Contact
Transport to hospital or doctor.
Even when no pain persists and vision is good, a doctor should examine the eye as delayed damage may occur.
If the patient cannot tolerate light, protect the eyes with a clean, loosely tied bandage.
Ensure verbal communication and physical contact with the patient.
DO NOT allow the patient to rub the eyes
DO NOT allow the patient to tightly shut the eyes
DO NOT introduce oil or ointment into the eye(s) without medical advice
DO NOT use hot or tepid water.
If skin or hair contact occurs:
Skin Contact Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
Following exposure to gas, remove the patient from the gas source or contaminated area.
NOTE: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus may be required to assure
the safety of the rescuer.
Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block the airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
If the patient is not breathing spontaneously, administer rescue breathing.
If the patient does not have a pulse, administer CPR.
Inhalation If medical oxygen and appropriately trained personnel are available, administer 100% oxygen.
Summon an emergency ambulance. If an ambulance is not available, contact a physician, hospital, or Poison Control Centre for further
instruction.
Keep the patient warm, comfortable and at rest while awaiting medical care.
MONITOR THE BREATHING AND PULSE, CONTINUOUSLY.
Administer rescue breathing (preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask-device, or pocket mask as trained) or CPR if
necessary.

Ingestion Not considered a normal route of entry.

8.2. Exposure controls

Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed engineering controls
can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to provide this high level of protection.
8.2.1. Appropriate engineering The basic types of engineering controls are:
controls Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk.
Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker and ventilation that
strategically "adds" and "removes" air in the work environment.

8.2.2. Individual protection

measures, such as personal
protective equipment

Safety glasses with side shields.

Chemical goggles. [AS/NZS 1337.1, EN166 or national equivalent]
Eye and face protection
Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document,
describing the wearing of lenses or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task.

Skin protection See Hand protection below

Hands/feet protection When handling sealed and suitably insulated cylinders wear cloth or leather gloves.
Body protection See Other protection below
Protective overalls, closely fitted at neck and wrist.
Eye-wash unit.
Other protection
Ensure availability of lifeline in confined spaces.
Staff should be trained in all aspects of rescue work.

Respiratory protection
Type AX Filter of sufficient capacity. (AS/NZS 1716 & 1715, EN 143:2000 & 149:2001, ANSI Z88 or national equivalent)

Positive pressure, full face, air-supplied breathing apparatus should be used for work in enclosed spaces if a leak is suspected or the primary containment is to be opened
(e.g. for a cylinder change)
Air-supplied breathing apparatus is required where release of gas from primary containment is either suspected or demonstrated.

Inhaled Inhalation of vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. This may be accompanied by narcosis, reduced alertness, loss of reflexes, lack of
coordination and vertigo.
Inhalation of vapours or aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material during the course of normal handling, may be damaging to the
health of the individual.
Limited evidence or practical experience suggests that the material may produce irritation of the respiratory system, in a significant number
of individuals, following inhalation. In contrast to most organs, the lung is able to respond to a chemical insult by first removing or
neutralising the irritant and then repairing the damage. The repair process, which initially evolved to protect mammalian lungs from foreign
matter and antigens, may however, produce further lung damage resulting in the impairment of gas exchange, the primary function of the
lungs. Respiratory tract irritation often results in an inflammatory response involving the recruitment and activation of many cell types,
mainly derived from the vascular system.
Common, generalised symptoms associated with non-toxic gas inhalation include :

central nervous system effects such as headache, confusion, dizziness, progressive stupor, coma and seizures;
respiratory system complications may include tachypnoea and dyspnoea;
cardiovascular effects may include circulatory collapse and arrhythmias;
gastrointestinal effects may also be present and may include mucous membrane irritation and nausea and vomiting.
Material is highly volatile and may quickly form a concentrated atmosphere in confined or unventilated areas. The vapour may displace and
replace air in breathing zone, acting as a simple asphyxiant. This may happen with little warning of overexposure.
The use of a quantity of material in an unventilated or confined space may result in increased exposure and an irritating atmosphere
developing. Before starting consider control of exposure by mechanical ventilation.
Nitrogen is non-toxic but may replace oxygen in the inhaled air producing asphyxiation.
As the amount of inhaled oxygen is reduced from 21% to 14% (by volume), pulse rate and volume of breathing, increase.
Nitrogen inhaled under increased atmospheric pressure (>1.5 atmospheres), may dissolve in fat-containing brain-cells producing anaesthesia
and causing narcosis. Individuals exposed to increased pressures for some time and who are suddenly released from the pressure may
develop decompression sickness.

Overexposure is unlikely in this form.

Ingestion Not normally a hazard due to physical form of product.
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation following contact (as classified by EC Directives using animal
models). Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable gloves be used in an
occupational setting.
Skin Contact
Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material
Entry into the blood-stream through, for example, cuts, abrasions, puncture wounds or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful
effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
Contact with cold gas may cause cryogenic (extreme low temperature) burns.

Although the material is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC Directives), direct contact with the eye may produce transient
Eye
discomfort characterised by tearing or conjunctival redness (as with windburn).
Direct contact with the eye may not cause irritation because of the extreme volatility of the gas; however concentrated atmospheres may
produce irritation after brief exposures..
Long-term exposure to the product is not thought to produce chronic effects adverse to health (as classified by EC Directives using animal
Chronic models); nevertheless exposure by all routes should be minimised as a matter of course.
Principal route of occupational exposure to the gas is by inhalation.
