EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Appropriate engineering controls
Use with adequate ventilation (natural or mechanical), especially in a confined space.
Individual protection measures
Respiratory Protection
Not normally required. In oxygen deficient atmospheres, use a self contained breathing apparatus, as an
air purifying respirator will not provide protection.
Skin Protection
Use leather or sturdy work gloves when handling cylinders.
Eye/Face Protection
Chemical goggles or safety glasses with side shields.
Body Protection
Normal work wear.
