Hazards Identication

Emergency Overview

  • Can cause rapid suffocation.
  • Compressed liquefied gas.
  • Avoid breathing gas.
  • Direct contact with liquid can cause frostbite.
  • Self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required.

    • Potential Health Effects

  • Inhalation : Concentrations of 10% CO2 or more can produce unconsciousness or death. In high concentrations may cause asphyxiation. Symptoms may include loss of mobility/consciousness.Victim may not be aware of asphyxiation. Asphyxiation may bring about unconsciousness without warning and so rapidly that victim may be unable to protect themselves.
  • Eye contact : Contact with liquid may cause cold burns/frost bite.
  • Skin contact : Contact with liquid may cause cold burns/frost bite.
  • Ingestion : Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.
  • Chronic Health Hazard : Not applicable.
