OXYGEN
Inhalation: Irritating if inhaled in very rich oxygen environment. Ingestion: Not applicable. Skin contact: Highly irritating to skin. Liquid may cause cold burn Eye contact: Irritating to eyes in oxygen rich environment. Chronic exposure: Overexposure: weakness, coughing, laboured breathing. Aggravations to pre existing conditions: Those with history of lung diseases, or skin problems may be more susceptible to the effects of this substance.

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
After inhalation: Not applicable After skin contact: In case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and copious amounts of water. After eye contact: Contamination of the eyes should be treated by immediate and prolonged irrigation with copious amounts of water. Assure adequate flushing of the eyes by separating the eyelids with fingers. After ingestion: Not applicable. Advice to physician: Treat according to symptoms Section 5 – FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media: Use water spray or fog nozzle to keep container cool. Move container away from fire if there is no risk. Specific hazards: If oxygen-enriched clothing catches fire, extinguish under safety shower; fire blanket may not be effective. Use continuous water spray to soak clothing of a rescuer who must operate in oxygen-enriched fire area. Unusual fire and explosion hazards: The substance is a strong oxidant and reacts with combustible and reducing materials, causing fire and explosion hazard. Specific personal protective equipments for fire fighters: Wear selfcontained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes. Fire fighting procedures: If material not involved in fire: Keep sparks, flames, and other sources of ignition away. Attempt to stop leak if without undue personnel hazard. Do not use water on material itself. Oxygen, refrigerated liquid Section 6 –ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personnel protection procedure to be followed in case of leak or spill: Evacuate area and keep personnel upwind. Shut off leak if there is no risk. Procedure of personal precaution: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, rubber boots, and heavy rubber gloves.

Methods for cleaning up: Eliminate all ignition sources. Stop or control the leak, if this can be done without undue risk. Use water spray to disperse vapors and protect personnel. Section 7 â&#x20AC;&#x201C;HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Prevent breathing contaminated gas. Prevent contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure. Storage: Oxygen should be stored in an area that is at least 20 ft away from any flammable or combustible materials (especially oil & grease) or separated from them by a noncombustible barrier at least 5 ft high & having a fire-resistant rating of at least 1/2 hr.

Engineering measures: Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area. Warning: suck-back into container may cause rupture. Use back-flowpreventive device in piping. Provide emergency suck off system. Respiratory protection: In case of fire if the exposure limit of smoke is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, wear a supplied air, full-facepiece respirator, airline hood, or full-facepiece self-contained breathing apparatus. Eye protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area. Hand protection: Wear gloves of impervious material. Body protection: Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
