Take the patient to the nearest eye wash, shower or other source of clean water. Open the eyelid(s) wide to allow the material to evaporate. Gently rinse the affected eye(s) with clean, cool water for at least 15 minutes. Have the patient lie or sit down and tilt the head back. Hold the eyelid(s) open and pour water slowly over the eyeball(s) at the inner corners, letting the water run out of the outer corners. Continued... Chemwatch: 21-5561 Version No: 2.1.1.1 Page 3 of 8 Issue Date: 01/01/2013 A-Gas Carbon Dioxide Compressed Print Date: 06/03/2014 The patient may be in great pain and wish to keep the eyes closed. It is important that the material is rinsed from the eyes to prevent further damage. Ensure that the patient looks up, and side to side as the eye is rinsed in order to better reach all parts of the eye(s) Transport to hospital or doctor. Even when no pain persists and vision is good, a doctor should examine the eye as delayed damage may occur. If the patient cannot tolerate light, protect the eyes with a clean, loosely tied bandage. Ensure verbal communication and physical contact with the patient. DO NOT allow the patient to rub the eyes DO NOT allow the patient to tightly shut the eyes DO NOT introduce oil or ointment into the eye(s) without medical advice DO NOT use hot or tepid water. Skin Contact If skin or hair contact occurs: Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available). Seek medical attention in event of irritation. For hypothermia: Move person to a warm place. Wrap in blankets. Shock may occur during the correction of hypothermia; cardiac dysrhythmias may be associated with severe hypothermia. Seek medical attention. Avoid direct heat. Arrange for admission to hospital for observation In case of cold burns (frost-bite): Move casualty into warmth before thawing the affected part; if feet are affected carry if possible Bathe the affected area immediately in luke-warm water (not more than 35 deg C) for 10 to 15 minutes, immersing if possible and without rubbing DO NOT apply hot water or radiant heat. Apply a clean, dry, light dressing of "fluffed-up" dry gauze bandage If a limb is involved, raise and support this to reduce swelling If an adult is involved and where intense pain occurs provide pain killers such as paracetomol Transport to hospital, or doctor Subsequent blackening of the exposed tissue indicates potential of necrosis, which may require amputation. Inhalation Following exposure to gas, remove the patient from the gas source or contaminated area. NOTE: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus may be required to assure the safety of the rescuer. Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block the airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures. If the patient is not breathing spontaneously, administer rescue breathing. If the patient does not have a pulse, administer CPR. If medical oxygen and appropriately trained personnel are available, administer 100% oxygen. Summon an emergency ambulance. If an ambulance is not available, contact a physician, hospital, or Poison Control Centre for further instruction. Keep the patient warm, comfortable and at rest while awaiting medical care. MONITOR THE BREATHING AND PULSE, CONTINUOUSLY. Administer rescue breathing (preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask-device, or pocket mask as trained) or CPR if necessary. Ingestion Not considered a normal route of entry. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed For frost-bite caused by liquefied petroleum gas: If part has not thawed, place in warm water bath (41-46 C) for 15-20 minutes, until the skin turns pink or red. Analgesia may be necessary while thawing. If there has been a massive exposure, the general body temperature must be depressed, and the patient must be immediately rewarmed by whole-body immersion, in a bath at the above temperature. Shock may occur during rewarming. Administer tetanus toxoid booster after hospitalization. Prophylactic antibiotics may be useful. The patient may require anticoagulants and oxygen. [Shell Australia 22/12/87] for gas exposures: -------------------------------------------------------------BASIC TREATMENT -------------------------------------------------------------Establish a patent airway with suction where necessary. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilation as necessary. Administer oxygen by non-rebreather mask at 10 to 15 l/min. Monitor and treat, where necessary, for pulmonary oedema . Monitor and treat, where necessary, for shock. Anticipate seizures. -------------------------------------------------------------ADVANCED TREATMENT -------------------------------------------------------------Consider orotracheal or nasotracheal intubation for airway control in unconscious patient or where respiratory arrest has occurred. Positive-pressure ventilation using a bag-valve mask might be of use. Monitor and treat, where necessary, for arrhythmias. Start an IV D5W TKO. If signs of hypovolaemia are present use lactated Ringers solution. Fluid overload might create complications. Drug therapy should be considered for pulmonary oedema. Hypotension with signs of hypovolaemia requires the cautious administration of fluids. Fluid overload might create complications. Treat seizures with diazepam. Proparacaine hydrochloride should be used to assist eye irrigation. BRONSTEIN, A.C. and CURRANCE, P.L. EMERGENCY CARE FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS EXPOSURE: 2nd Ed. 1994 SECTION 5 FIREFIGHTING MEASURES Continued... Chemwatch: 21-5561 Version No: 2.1.1.1 Page 4 of 8 Issue Date: 01/01/2013 A-Gas Carbon Dioxide Compressed Print Date: 06/03/2014 Extinguishing media SMALL FIRE: Use extinguishing agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. LARGE FIRE: Cool cylinder. Special hazards arising from the substrate or mixture Fire Incompatibility None known. Advice for firefighters Cryogens can be particularly dangerous during fires. Cryogenic liquids can freeze water very rapidly. Careless use of water can lead to heavy icing, possibly blocking pressure relief valves. The relatively warm water can also cause a cryogenic liquid to vapourise more rapidly. Fire Fighting Fire/Explosion Hazard Non combustible. Not considered a significant fire risk, however containers may burn. Contains low boiling substance: Closed containers may rupture due to pressure buildup under fire conditions. SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Minor Spills Environmental hazard - contain spillage. Avoid breathing vapour and any contact with liquid or gas. Protective equipment including respirator should be used. DO NOT Major Spills Environmental hazard - contain spillage. Clear area of all unprotected personnel and move upwind. Alert Emergency Authority and advise them of the location and nature of hazard. Wear breathing apparatus and protective gloves. Personal Protective Equipment advice is contained in Section 8 of the MSDS. SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for safe handling Anyone who handles, stores or transfers cryogenic liquids requires instruction on safe handling practices. Specific areas of instruction should include: Safe handling 1. properties of the cryogen both as a liquid and a gas 2. specific instructions on the equipment being used, including safety devices Other information Store in an upright position. Cylinders should be stored in a purpose-built compound with good ventilation, preferably in the open. Such compounds should be sited and built in accordance with statutory requirements. The storage compound should be kept clear and access restricted to authorised personnel only. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Suitable container Storage incompatibility Equipment must be able to withstand process pressure and especially cryogenic temperature. Commonly used materials are copper or stainless steel. Mild steel must NOT be used. Most plastics and rubbers are not suitable as they become brittle. Carbon dioxide: reacts violently with strong bases and alkali metals (especially their dusts) may ignite or explode when heated or in suspended chemically active metals (and their hydrides) such as aluminium, chromium, manganese, magnesium (above 775 C), titanium (above 550 C), uranium (above 750 C) or zirconium , diethylmagnesium is incompatible with water, acrolein, acrylaldehyde, amines, anhydrous ammonia, aziridine, metal acetylides (such as lithium acetylide), caesium monoxide (moist), lithium, potassium, sodium, sodium carbide, sodium-potassium alloy, sodium peroxide, titanium PACKAGE MATERIAL INCOMPATIBILITIES SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION Control parameters OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OEL) INGREDIENT DATA Source Ingredient Material name TWA STEL Peak Notes Australia Exposure Standards carbon dioxide Carbon dioxide / Carbon dioxide in coal mines 9000 (mg/m3) / 22500 (mg/m3) / 5000 (ppm) / 12500 (ppm) 54000 (mg/m3) / 30000 (ppm) Not Available Not Available EMERGENCY LIMITS Ingredient TEEL-0 TEEL-1 TEEL-2 TEEL-3 carbon dioxide 5000(ppm) 30000(ppm) 40000(ppm) 40000(ppm) Ingredient Original IDLH Revised IDLH Continued...

Well-designed engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to provide this high level of protection. The basic types of engineering controls are: Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk. Personal protection Eye and face protection Skin protection For cryogenic liquids: The eyes are the most sensitive body part to the extreme cold of the liquid and vapours. A full face shield over safe glasses is recommended when handling cryogens. Chemical goggles. See Hand protection below Hand protection Insulated gloves: NOTE: Insulated gloves should be loose fitting so that may be removed quickly if liquid is spilled upon them. Insulated gloves are not made to permit hands to be placed in the liquid; they provide only short-term protection from accidental contact with the liquid. When handling sealed and suitably insulated cylinders wear cloth or leather gloves. Body protection See Other protection below Other protection For cryogenic liquids Cryogenic liquids flow very freely and can penetrate woven or other porous clothing much faster than water Wear a non-porous, knee length laboratory coat, without pockets or cuffs which could catch the liquid. If using larger quantities of cryogenic liquids, wear an apron of a non-woven material such as leather.

Possibility of hazardous reactions See section 7 Conditions to avoid See section 7 Incompatible materials See section 7 Hazardous decomposition products See section 5 SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Information on toxicological effects Inhaled Ingestion Skin Contact Eye Chronic A-Gas Carbon Dioxide Compressed carbon dioxide The material is not thought to produce respiratory irritation (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless inhalation, of the material, especially for prolonged periods, may produce respiratory discomfort and occasionally, distress. Inhalation of vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. This may be accompanied by narcosis, reduced alertness, loss of reflexes, lack of coordination and vertigo. Overexposure is unlikely in this form. Not normally a hazard due to physical form of product. Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material Entry into the blood-stream through, for example, cuts, abrasions, puncture wounds or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected. Vapourising liquid causes rapid cooling and contact may cause cold burns, frostbite, even through normal gloves. Although the material is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC Directives), direct contact with the eye may produce transient discomfort characterised by tearing or conjunctival redness (as with windburn). Vapourising liquid causes rapid cooling and contact may cause cold burns, frostbite, even through normal gloves. Frozen skin tissues are painless and appear waxy and yellow. Signs and symptoms of frost-bite may include "pins and needles", paleness followed by numbness, a hardening an stiffening of the skin, a progression of colour changes in the affected area, (first white, then mottled and blue and eventually black; on recovery, red, hot, painful and blistered). Limited evidence suggests that repeated or long-term occupational exposure may produce cumulative health effects involving organs or biochemical systems. Principal route of occupational exposure to the gas is by inhalation. Although prolonged exposure to carbon dioxide, at levels up to 1.5% in inhaled air, are well tolerated, calcium/ phosphorus metabolism may be affected. Serum levels of calcium and urinary phosphorus progressively fall. TOXICITY IRRITATION Not Available Not Available TOXICITY IRRITATION Not Available Not Available Not available.
