=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ROUTES OF ENTRY: SKIN-FROSTBITE
    (PRIMARY); LUNGS-INHALATION (PRIMARY). CLASSIFIED AS A SIMPLE
    ASPHYXIANT, MINIMAL OXYGEN CONTENT SHOULD BE 19.5% BY VOLUME UNDER
    NORMAL ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS (ACGIH).  CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
    DEPRESSANT. MAY CAUSE ANEMIA AND IRREGULAR HEART RHYTHM.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NON- CARCINOGENIC
Effects of Overexposure:HIGH CONCENTRATION CAN LEAD TO SYMPTOMS RANGING
    FROM DIZZINESS TO ANESTHESIA AND RESPIRATORY ARREST IF INHALED.
    EYES CAN BE MODERATELY IRRITATED.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:CAUTION IS RECOMMENDED FOR
    PERSONNEL WITH PRE-EXISTING CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM OR CHRONIC
    RESPIRATORY DISEASES.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, ADMINISTER AIR,
    OXYGEN, OR CPR. SKIN: KEEP AFFECTED AREA WARM AND SUBMERGE IN
    LUKEWARM WATER. FLUSH EYES IMMEDIATELY WITH WATER.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:=-104.4C, -156.F
Autoignition Temp:=504.4C, 940.F
Lower Limits:2.15%
Upper Limits:9.60%
Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL CLASS A-B-C, CO2, WATER SPRAY OR
    HALON.
Fire Fighting Procedures:STOP FLOW OF GAS. USE WATER TO KEEP
    FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL. USE WATER SPRAY TO DISPERSE UNIGNITED
    GAS OR VAPOR. USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IN CONFINED
    SPACES. EVACUATE AREA UNTIL GAS  DISSIPATES COMPLETELY.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND GAS UNDER PRESSURE.
    MAY FORM EXPLOSIVE MIXTURES WITH AIR. CONTAINERS EXPOSED TO FIRE OR
    EXCESSIVE HEAT MAY RUPTURE EXPLOSIVELY.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:KEEP PUBLIC AWAY. SHUT OFF GAS SUPPLY.
    ELIMINATE SOURCES OF IGNITION. VENTILATE AREA. DISPERSE WITH WATER
    SPRAY. CONTACT BETWEEN SKIN AND LIQUID PROPANE CAN CAUSE FREEZING
    OF TISSUE.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP CONTAINERS AWAY FROM HEAT
    SOURCES. STORE  IN UPRIGHT POSITION. CONTAINERS SHOULD NOT BE
    DROPPED. CONTAINER TEMPERATURE SHOULD NOT EXCEED 130F
    (54.4C).TRAINING: IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY, ALL PERS ONS EMPLOYED
    IN HANDLING PROPANE GAS MUST BE TRAINED IN PROPER HANDLING AND
    OPERATING PROCEDURES.
Other Precautions:CLOSE CONTAINER SERVICE VALVE WHEN NOT IN USE AND
    WHEN EMPTY. INSTALL PROTECTIVE CAP WHEN NOT CONNECTED FOR USE.
    CONTAINER, EVEN THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN EMPTIED CAN CONTAIN EXPLOSIVE
    VAPORS. DO NOT CUT,  DRILLL, GRIND, WELD OR PERFORM SIMILAR
    OPERATIONS ON OR NEAR CONTAINERS.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:USE NIOSH OR MSHA APPROVED EQUIPMENT WHEN
    AIRBORNE EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE EXCEEDED.
Ventilation:PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION TO MEET TLV REQUIREMENTS AND
    TO KEEP CONC. IN AIR BELOW 25% OF L.E.L. MECHANICAL VENTILATORS
    MUST MEET N.E.C. EXPLOSION PROOF STD.
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS PLASTIC OR NEOPRENE-COATED CANVAS.
Eye Protection:FACE SHIELD OR CHEMICAL GOGGLES WHEN DOING MAINTENANCE
    IN LIQUID PROPANE SYSTEM
Work Hygienic Practices:AVOID BREATHING GAS, SECURE AND EVACUATE AREA
    IF GAS IS SMELLED.
Supplemental Safety and Health
THE TRAINING IN PROPER HANDLING AND OPERATING PROCEDURES IN A PROPANE
    GAS SYSTEM SHOULD BE DOCUMENTED.
