    FULL FACED SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. COOL FIRE EXPOSED
    CONTAINERS WITH WATER SPRAY.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:THOUGH GAS CYLINDERS ARE EQUIPPED WITH
    PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE RELIEF DEVICES, THEY SHOULD BE REMOVED
    FROM HIGH TEMPERATURES OR FIRE TO AVOID RISK OR RUPTURE.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE ALL PERSONNEL FROM AREA. USE
    APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. PROVIDE VENTILATION TO AREA AND
    AVOID CONTACT WITH SOLID OR LIQUID AND EXCESSIVE INHALATION OF
    VAPOR. VALVE OFF CARBON DIOXIDE S UPPLY FROM LEAKING OR BROKEN
    COMPONENTS.

    PLACE.DO NOT INSTALL STORAGE VESSELS IN SUB SURFACE,CLOSED AREA OR
    NEAR HEAT/FLAME.
Other Precautions:AVOID PROLONGED OR REPEATED BREATHING OF VAPOR. AVOID
    CONTACT WITH EYES OR SKIN. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. WASH
    THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:POSITIVE PRESSURE AIR LINE WITH FULL FACE PIECE
    AND ESCAPE AIR SUPPLY OR SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS SHOULD
    BE AVAILABLE FOR EMERGENCY USE.
