VI. Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions:
Respiratory Protection: (See Section VIII)
Hand Protection: (See Section VIII)
Eye Protection: (See Section VIII)
Skin and Body Protection: (See Section VIII)
Clean up Precautions: None, material is a mixture of normal atmospheric gases.
Waste Disposal Methods: None, material is a mixture of normal atmospheric gases.
VII. Handling and Storage
Handling: Normal precautions for handling high pressure gas cylinders.
Storage: Store cylinders with restraints to prevent possibility of rupture.
VIII. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Respiratory: The normal discharge of INERGEN at its designed concentration between 34 and 70 % V/V in a fixed enclo-
sure does not present any hazard. Exposure at concentrations above these limits requires the use of self-
contained breathing apparatus. Other respirators will not protect in an oxygen deficient atmosphere.
Local exhaust and Mechanical (General) Ventilation: Use as required.
Hand: Leather gloves are recommended for handling compressed gas cylinders.
Eye: Chemical goggles or safety glasses are recommended.
Skin and Body: No specific protection is needed.
