SPECIAL PROCEDURES:
NONE. Oxygen will support or sustain combustion of other materials.
Some materials that do not burn in air may ignite when the Oxygen
concentration increase above 21%.
Cool containers with water spray. Extinguish surrounding fire(s).
Oxygen will not burn but it will sustain the combustion of surrounding
materials.

Evacuate areas where a leak or a spill is present. Fight surrounding
fires as the case may be. Do not use water on the source of leak to
avoid ice formation that may obstruct the operation of Safety Relief
Devices.

EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE:
Exposure to PURE oxygen (for prolonged periods at pressures
higher than atmospheric) may cause nausea, dizziness, pulmonary
damages, epileptic seizures, death. Such effects have been reported
as a function of the pressure. Acute exposure to Liquid oxygen is
unlikely since the product will vaporize at room temperatures. Short
term contact with Liquid oxygen may cause frostbite.

SKIN:
Contact with Liquid Oxygen may cause frostbite. Rinse with lukewarm water for 15
minutes. Obtain medical attention.
Contact with Liquid Oxygen may cause frostbite. Rinse with lukewarm water for 15
minutes. Obtain medical attention.
Exposure to PURE Oxygen for a prolonged period (from 5 minutes @ 100psig. to 5 hours
@ 1 atm.) have been reported to cause pulmonary irritation, edema. Reduce pressure,
move to fresh air where possible. Obtain medical attention.
Contact with Liquid Oxygen may cause frostbite. Rinse with lukewarm water for 15
minutes. Obtain medical attention.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE:
HAND:
FEET:
CLOTHING:
RESPIRATOR:
Faceshield to prevent contact with cold liquid.
Insulated gloves to prevent contact with cold liquid or insulated containers.
Safety footwear where applicable.
Long sleeves, trousers recommended.
Not applicable.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Provide ventilation. Keep oil, grease, combustible materials away.
SPILL AND LEAK PROCEDURE:Remove all sources of ignition. Clear the area, Spills on combustible surfaces may
cause a fire hazard. Ventilate for 2 hours after the frost has disappeared on the surface
before walking on it. 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
HANDLING PROCEDURES & EQUIPMENT:Keep away from Oil, Grease, Combustible, Flammable materials. Use
appropriate carts for moving containers. Secure container when in use. Close the
container valve when NOT in use, or when empty.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS:Store in well ventilated areas. Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep containers
upright.
SPECIAL SHIPPING INFORMATION:Transport upright in well-ventilated vehicle. Do not transport in trunk of enclosed
vehicle. Commercial (cylinders) quantities may NOT be transported in passenger
compartments.
