Carbon dioxide Safety Data Sheet P-4574 Maldng our planet more productive This SDS conforms to U.S. Code of Federal Regulations 29 CFR 1910.1200, Hazard Communication. Date of issue: 01/01/1980 Revision date: 10/17/2016 Supersedes: 07/19/2016 5.3. Advice for firefighters Firefighting instructions Other information WARNING! Liquid and gas under pressure. Evacuate all personnel from the danger area. Use self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective clothing. Immediately cool containers with water from maximum distance. Stop flow of gas if safe to do so, while continuing cooling water spray. Remove ignition sources if safe to do so. Remove containers from area of fire if safe to do so. On-site fire brigades must comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.156 and applicable standards under 29 CFR 1910 Subpart L—Fire Protection. : Containers are equipped with a pressure relief device. (Exceptions may exist where authorized by DOT [U.S.] or TC [Canada].). SECTION 6: Accidental release measures 6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures General measures WARNING! Liquid and gas under pressure. Rapid release of gaseous carbon dioxide through a pressure relief device (PRO) or valve can result in the formation of dry ice, which is very cold and can cause frostbite. For non-emergency personnel For emergency responders Environmental precautions Try to stop release. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up 11.11=111111111111•1====1 No additional information available No additional information available For containment Prevent waste from contaminating the surrounding environment. Discard any product, residue, disposable container, or liner in an environmentally acceptable manner, in full compliance with federal, provincial, and local regulations. If necessary, call your local supplier for assistance. 6.4. Reference to other sections See also sections 8 and 13. SECTION 7: Handlin • and storage 7.1. Precautions for safe handling Precautions for safe handling : Avoid breathing gas Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing This gas is heavier than air and in an enclosed space tends to accumulate near the floor, displacing air and pushing it upward. This creates an oxygen-deficient atmosphere near the floor. Ventilate space before entry. Verify sufficient oxygen concentration WARNING: Concentration levels of carbon dioxide above about 1 percent are dangerous. Praxair recommends continuous monitoring with alarms to indicate unsafe conditions before and during potential personnel exposure. Use appropriate monitoring devices to ensure a safe oxygen level (minimum of 19.5 percent) and a safe carbon dioxide level Wear leather safety gloves and safety shoes when handling cylinders. Protect cylinders from physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide or drop. While moving cylinder, always keep in place removable valve cover. Never attempt to lift a cylinder by its cap; the cap is intended solely to protect the valve. When moving cylinders, even for short distances, use a cart (trolley, hand truck, etc.) designed to transport cylinders. Never insert an object (e.g, wrench, screwdriver, pry bar) into cap openings; doing so may damage the valve and cause a leak. Use an adjustable strap wrench to remove over-tight or rusted caps. Slowly open the valve. If the valve is hard to open, discontinue use and contact your supplier. Close the container valve after each use; keep closed even when empty. Never apply flame or localized heat directly to any part of the container. High temperatures may damage the container and could cause the pressure relief device to fail prematurely, venting the container contents. For other precautions in using this product, see section 16.
