Handling and Disposal
*
Spill Release Procedures: FORMS EXPLOSIVE MIXTURES W/AIR. IMMED EVACUATE ALL
  PERSONNEL FROM DANGER AREA. USE NIOSH APPRVD SCBA WHERE NEEDED. REMOVE ALL
  SOURCES OF IGNIT IF W/OUT RISK. REDUCE VAPORS W/FOG OR FINE SPRAY. SHUT OF F
  LEAK IF W/OUT RISK. VENT AREA OF LEAK/MOVE LEAKING CONTR TO WELL VENTILATED
  AREA. FLAMM VAPS MAY SPREAD FROM SPILL. BEFORE WATERING AREA, ESPECIALLY
  CONFINED AREAS, CHECK ATMOSPHERE W/APPROP DEVICE.
Waste Disposal Methods: PREVENT WASTE FROM CONTAMINATING SURROUNDING
  ENVIRONMENT. KEEP PERSONNEL AWAY. DISCARD ANY PRODUCT, RESIDUE, DISPOSABLE
  CONTAINER OR LINER IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY ACCEPTABLE MANNER, IN FULL
  COMPLIANCE W ITH FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.
Handling And Storage Precautions: DANGER: FLAMM, LIQUEFIED GAS UNDER PRESS. USE
  PIPING & EQUIP ADEQ DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND PRESS TO BE ENCOUNTERED. MAY
  FROM EXPLO MIXTS W/AIR. GROUND ALL EQUIP. ONLY USE SPARK-PROOF TOOLS &
  EXPLO-PROOF  EQUIP. KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPKS & OPEN FLAME. STORE &
  USE W/ADEQ VENT AT ALL TIMES.
Other Precautions: USE ONLY IN CLSD SYS. CLOSE VALVE WHEN NOT IN USE & WHEN
  EMPTY. KEEP AWAY FROM OXIDIZING AGENTS. MIXTS: WHEN TWO/MORE GASES, OR
  LIQUEFIED GASES ARE MIXED, THEIR HAZ PROPERTIES MAY COMBINE TO CREATE AD DNL,
  UNEXPECTED HAZS. OBTAIN & EVALUATE SFTY INFO FOR EACH COMPONENT BEFORE
  YOU PRDCE MIXT. (SUP DAT )
