Exposure controls, personal protection, and accidental release measures
Type
Preventive measures
GENERAL
Always wear recommended personal protective equipment. Where
contact with liquid is likely, such as in a spill or leak, impervious boots
and clothing should be worn.
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. Equip the installation site with any gas
alarms and/or gas protection required by local rules and regulations.
SKIN PROTECTION: General work clothing and gloves (leather)
should provide adequate protection. If prolonged contact with 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.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT
EYE PROTECTION: or normal conditions, wear safety glasses.
Where there is reasonable probability of liquid contact, wear chemical
safety goggles.
DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Not a hazardous waste
WARNING: DO NOT vent to the atmosphere. To comply with
provisions of the U.S. Clean Air Act, any residual must be recovered.
Contains greenhouse gas which may contribute to global warming.
The refrigerant should not be mixed with air above atmospheric pressure for leak
testing or any other purpose.
IN CASE OF A 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.
● 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.
● Regarding reporting requirements refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet of the
refrigerant manufacturer.
