FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flammability Highly flammable. May evolve toxic gases (carbon oxides, hydrocarbons) when heated to decomposition. Vapour may form explosive mixtures with air. Eliminate all ignition sources, including cigarettes, open flames, spark producing switches/tools, heaters, pilot lights, mobile phones etc. when handling. Aerosol cans may explode above 50C. Fire and Evacuate area and contact emergency services. Toxic gases may be evolved in a fire situation. Remain upwind Explosion and notify those downwind of hazard. Wear full protective equipment including Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) when combating fire. Use waterfog to cool intact containers and nearby storage areas. Extinguishing Dry agent, carbon dioxide or foam. Prevent contamination of drains or waterways. Hazchem Code 2Y 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Spillage If cans/containers are punctured (bulk), use personal protective equipment. Clear area of all unprotected personnel. Ventilate area where possible. Collect and allow to discharge outdoors. Contain spillage, then cover / absorb spill with non-combustible absorbant material (vermiculite, sand, or similar), collect and place in suitable containers for disposal. 7. STORAGE AND HANDLING Storage Store in a cool (< 50C), dry, well ventilated area, removed from oxidising agents, acids, alkalis, heat or ignition sources and foodstuffs. Ensure aerosol containers/ cans are adequately labelled, protected from physical damage and sealed when not in use. Check regularly for damaged/ leaking containers. Large storage areas should have appropriate fire protection systems. Handling Before use carefully read the product label. Use of safe work practices are recommended to avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation. Observe good personal hygiene, including washing hands before eating. Prohibit eating, drinking and smoking in contaminated areas. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/ PERSONAL PROTECTION Exposure Stds TWA STEL Reference Ingredient ppm mg/m3 ppm mg/m3 LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS ASCC (AUS) 1000 1800 1000 1800 (LPG) Biological Limits No biological limit allocated. Engineering Avoid inhalation. Use in well ventilated areas. Where an inhalation risk exists, mechanical explosion proof Controls extraction ventilation is recommended. Flammable vapours may accumulate in poorly ventilated or confined areas. Vapours are heavier than air and may travel some distance to an ignition source and flash back. Maintain vapour levels below the recommended exposure standard. PPE Wear splash-proof goggles and neoprene or nitrile gloves. At high vapour levels, wear: a Type A-Class P1 (Organic gases/vapours and Particulate) respirator. 9.
