ROUTES OF TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES FIRST AID MEASURES
ENTRY
INHALATION Causes headache, vomiting, dizziness, disorientation. Remove victim to fresh air. Administer artificial respiration if breathing has
stopped. Keep at rest. Seek medical assistance.
SKIN ABSORPTION Not considered to be a hazard n/a
INGESTION Not Considered to be a hazard n/a
SKIN CONTACT Not considered to be a hazard. Exposure to rapidly expanding gas In case of cold burns seek medical attention.
or vapourizing liquid may cause frostbite (cold burn)
EYE CONTACT Irritating and may injury eye tissues if not removed promptly Immediately flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical
attention.
SENSITIZATION: no data TERATOGENICITY: no data MUTAGENICITY: no data
CARCINOGENICITY: no data REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY: no data CHRONIC TOXICITY: no data
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS:
Propane: Simple asphyxiant, 1000 ppm OSHA TWA (ACGIH)
7. PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
RESPIRATOR: GLOVES: FOOTWEAR:
Where concentrations in air may exceed occupational exposure Rubber, insulated gloves Substantial footwear with closed tops
limits. Approved respirators may be required.
OTHER: EYEWEAR: CLOTHING:
No specific additional requirements Safety Glasses with side shields or CSA Flame resistant coveralls
approved goggles or face shields.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
The use of mechanical dilution ventilation is recommended to maintain airborne concentrations below the recommended occupational exposure limits. Use
explosion proof ventilation equipment, Handle material in a closed system.
HANDLING AND STORAGE PROCEDURES:
Keep containers closed. Handle and open containers with care. Store in a cool, well ventilated place away from incompatible materials.
Do not handle or store near an open flame, source of heat, or source of ignition.
Materials will accumulate static charge which may cause a spark. Static charge build-up could become an ignition source. Use proper grounding procedures. Protect
container from direct sunlight or other sources of excessive heat to prevent pressure build-up.
SPILL AND LEAK PROCEDURES:
Remove or shut off all sources of ignition. Increase ventilation, if possible. Use water spray to disperse vapours. Prevent additional discharge of material, if possible
to do so without hazard.
WASTE DISPOSAL: Consult an expert on disposal of recovered material. Ensure disposal is in compliance with local regulations.
