6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
IN CASE OF SPILL OR OTHER RELEASE:
(Always wear recommended personal protective equipment.)
Evacuate unprotected personnel. Protected personnel should remove ignition sources and shut off leak, if without
risk, and provide ventilation. Use self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) for large spills or releases.
Unprotected personnel should not return until air has been tested and determined safe, including low- lying areas.
Spills and releases may have to be reported to Federal and/or local authorities. See Section 15 regarding
reporting requirements.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
NORMAL HANDLING: Always wear recommended personal protective equipment.
Avoid breathing vapors and liquid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Do not puncture or drop cylinders, expose
them to open flame or excessive heat. Use authorized cylinders only. Follow standard safety precautions for
handling and use of compressed gas cylinders. R-404A should not be mixed with air above atmospheric pressure
for leak testing or any other purpose.
STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS:
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area of low fire risk and keep out of direct sunlight. Protect cylinder and its fittings
from physical damage. Storage in subsurface locations should be avoided. Close valve tightly after use and when
empty. Cylinder temperatures should not exceed 52° C (125° F).
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Provide local ventilation at filling zones and areas where leakage is probable.
Mechanical (general) ventilation may be adequate for other operating and storage areas.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
SKIN PROTECTION: Skin contact with refrigerant may cause frostbite. General work clothing and
gloves (leather) should provide adequate protection. If prolonged contact with the liquid or gas is
anticipated, insulated gloves constructed of PVA, neoprene or butyl rubber should be used. Any
contaminated clothing should be promptly removed and washed before reuse.
EYE PROTECTION:
For normal conditions, wear safety glasses. Where there is reasonable
probability of liquid contact, wear chemical safety goggles.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: None generally required for adequately ventilated work situations.
For accidental release or non-ventilated situations, or release into confined space, where the concentration
may be above the PEL of 1,000 ppm, use a self-contained, NIOSH- approved breathing apparatus or
supplied air respirator. For escape: use the former or a NIOSH-approved gas mask with organic vapor
canister.
