INHALATION:
For frostbite rinse with warm water for 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention immediately.
Maintain breathing. Obtain medical attention immediately.

CLOTHING:
Full faceshield to prevent contact with cold liquid
Insulated Work gloves
Safety footwear where applicable.
Long sleeves, trousers recommended.
RESPIRATOR: Not applicable where oxygen concentration is kept above 18%.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Provide ventilation. Keep oil, grease, and combustible materials away.
SPILL AND LEAK PROCEDURE:
Leave danger area. Try to stop the leak at source if without risk. Gas will dissipate depending on the site/area ventilation. Verify oxygen concentration prior to re-entry.
WASTE DISPOSAL:
No wastes may be generated other than empty containers. Return empty containers as the case may be. Disposal of waste containers must be done in accordance with Federal, Provincial and Municipal regulations.
HANDLING PROCEDURES & EQUIPMENT:
Use only in well ventilated areas. Use only with regulating equipment designed for Nitrogen service and source pressure. Use appropriate carts for moving containers.
Secure container when not in use. Close the container valve when NOT in use, or when empty.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS:
Store in well ventilated areas. Keep containers upright. Protect containers from physical damage. Segregate full and empty containers. Replace cap on container, if applicable.
SPECIAL SHIPPING INFORMATION:
Transport upright in well-ventilated vehicle. Do not transport in trunk of enclosed vehicle. Commercial quantities
(cylinders) may NOT be transported in passenger compartments.
