Avoid becoming a casualty - to protect rescuer, use air-viva, oxy-viva or one-way mask. Remove affected person from contaminated area - Apply artificial respiration if not breathing. Do not give direct mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Resuscitate in a well-ventilated area. Seek IMMEDIATE medical attention. Note: in confined space - DO NOT ATTEMPT RESCUE WITHOUT ADEQUATE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION. Unlikely to occur due to the physical state the product. However, if ingested, rinse mouth with water and treat for frostbite. Do NOT induce vomiting. Seek medical attention. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Clothing frozen to the skin should be thawed before being removed. For Frostbite: Flush affected areas with lukewarm water. Do not use hot water. Treat as thermal burns.

Precautions in connection with Fire frozen, immediately irrigate with copious amounts water for at least 15 minutes. Eyelids to be held open. Seek medical attention. Eyewash and normal washroom facilities Treat symptomatically. For advice in an emergency, contact a Poisons Information Centre (Phone Australia ) or a doctor at once. Use extinguishing media that are suitable for the surrounding combustible materials. Non combustible material. This product is non combustible. However heating can cause expansion or decomposition leading to violent rupture containers.. Accidental release measures Emergency Procedures 7. Handling and storage Precautions for Safe Handling Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatabilities 8. Exposure controls/personal protection Occupational exposure limit values Fire fighters should wear Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) operated in positive pressure mode and full protective clothing to prevent exposure to vapours or fumes. Water spray may be used to cool down heat-exposed containers. Remove all sources ignition. Increase ventilation. Evacuate all unprotected personnel. Use self-contained breathing apparatus (S.C.B.A) and full protective clothing to minimise exposure. Allow gas to vent safely to atmosphere, preferably in well ventilated, remote location. Monitor gas concentration in confined spaces. Check for leaks using pressure drop test or soapy water on joints and outlets. Shut cylinder valve to stop leak if possible and safe to do so. Check gas concentration to ensure area is safe before removing protective equipment. Damaged gas cylinders should be returned to the supplier. Use in a well ventilated area. Wear appropriate protective equipment. Use smallest possible amounts in designated areas with adequate ventilation. Avoid release gas into air. Maintain high standards personal hygiene ie. washing hands prior to eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet facilities. DO NOT enter confined spaces where gas may have collected. Suck back water into the container must be prevented. Do not allow back feed into the container. Use only properly specified equipment which is suitable for this product, its supply pressure and temperature. Contact your gas supplier if in doubt. Refer to supplier's container handling instructions. Storage compressed gas cylinders shall be in compliance with State or Territory regulations. Cylinders shall be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area out direct sunlight and away from heat and ignition sources. Outside or detached storage is preferred. No part cylinders shall be exposed to temperatures above 50 C. Cylinders shall be stored upright on a level, firepro floor, secure in position and protected from damage. Full cylinders shall be stored separately from empties. Keep cylinder valve cover on. Label empty cylinders and store full cylinders separately from empty ones. Consider leak detection and alarm systems, as required. Limit quantity in storage. Restrict access to storage area and post warning signs. Inspect periodically for deficiencies such as damage or leaks. Have fire extinguishers available in and near the storage area. For information on the design the storeroom, reference should be made to AS The storage and handling gases in cylinders. Reference should also be made to all Local, State and Federal regulations. No exposure standards have been established for the mixture by Safe Work, Australia. However, over-exposure to some chemicals may result in enhancement

Final choice appropriate eye/face protection will vary according to individual circumstances i.e. methods handling or engineering controls and according to risk assessments undertaken. Eye protection should conform with Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS Eye Protectors for Industrial Applications. Wear non absorbent insulated gloves. Final choice appropriate gloves will vary according to individual circumstances i.e. methods handling or according to risk assessments undertaken. Reference should be made to AS/NZS 211.1: Occupational protective gloves - Selection, use and maintenance. Suitable protective workwear, e.g. cotton overalls buttoned at neck and wrist is recommended. Chemical resistant apron is recommended where large quantities are handled.

Disposal considerations Disposal Considerations Stable under normal conditions storage and handling. Extremes temperature and direct sunlight. Incompatible with alkaline earth metals such as sodium, zinc, magnesium plus their alkali. Also powdered aluminium. This product may be decomposed by high temperatures (open flames, glowing metal surfaces, etc) forming hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen bromide, free bromine - possible carbonyl halides. Will not occur. No toxicity data available for this material. The available acute toxicity data for the ingredients is given below: Bromochlorodifluoromethane LC50 (rat): >200,000 ppm/15 min. Unlikley unless in the liquid state. Ingestion this product may irritate the gastric tract causing nausea and vomiting. Vapour is heavier than air and can cause suffocation by reducing oxygen available for breathing. Breathing high concentrations vapour can cause light headedness, giddiness, shortness breath, and may lead to narcosis, cardiac irregularities, unconsciousness or death. Note: In screening tests with experimental animals, exposure at approximately 75,000 ppm (v/v) and above, followed by a large intravenous epinephrine challenge, has induced serious cardiac irregularities. May cause frostbite injuries to skin on contact resulting in redness, tissue destruction. May cause frostbite injuries to eyes on contact resulting in stinging, tearing, blurred vision and possibly permanent damage to eyes. Not expected to be a respiratory sensitiser Not expected to be a skin sensitiser Not considered to be a mutegenic hazard Not considered to be a carcinogenic hazard Not considered to be toxic to reproduction Not considered to cause toxicity to a specific target organ Not considered to cause toxicity to a specific target organ Not expected to be an aspiration hazard No ecological data are available for this material. Bromochlorodifluoromethane is a synthetic greenhouse gas and an ozone depleting substance. Global Warming Potential (GWP) = Ozone Depleting Potential = 7.1. The disposal the waste material and the empty containers must be done in accordance with applicable local and national regulations.
