FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARDS
CONDITIONS OF FLAMMABILITY:NONE. Oxygen will support or sustain combustion of other materials. Some materials that do not burn in air may ignite when the Oxygen concentration increase above 21%.
MEANS OF EXTINCTION:Cool containers with water spray. Extinguish surrounding fire(s).
Oxygen will not burn but it will sustain the combustion of surrounding materials.
FLASH POINT:NONE
UPPER FLAMMABLE LIMIT:NONELOWER FLAMMABILITY LIMIT: NONE
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE:NONE
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:NONE
SENSITIVITY TO MECHANICAL IMPACT:NONE
SENSITIVITY TO STATIC DISCHARGE:NONE
SPECIAL PROCEDURES:Evacuate areas where a leak or a spill is present. Fight surrounding fires as the case may be. Do not use water on the source of leak to avoid ice formation that may obstruct the operation of Safety Relief Devices.
REACTIVITY DATA
CONDITIONS OF CHEMICAL UNSTABILITY:NONE
INCOMPATIBILITY:All combustible, organic materials. All reducing agents. Alkali metals.
CONDITIONS OF REACTIVITY:Oxygen reacts readily with most organic compounds.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:NONE
TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
ROUTE OF ENTRY
SKIN (CONTACT):YES
SKIN (ABSORPTION):NO
EYE CONTACT:YES
INHALATION:YES
INGESTION:YES
EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE:Exposure to PURE oxygen (for prolonged periods at pressures higher than atmospheric) may cause nausea, dizziness, pulmonary damages, epileptic seizures, death. Such effects have been reported as a function of the pressure. Acute exposure to Liquid oxygen is unlikely since the product will vaporize at room temperatures. Short term contact with Liquid oxygen may cause frostbite.
EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE:NONE KNOWN
EXPOSURE LIMITS:Not applicable
IRRITANCY:Lung irritant when PURE and at pressures higher than atmospheric.
SENSITIZATION:NONE
CARCINOGENICITY:NONE
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY:NONE
TERATOGENICITY:NONE
MUTAGENICITY:NONE
TOXIC SYNERGISTIC PRODUCTS:NONE

FIRST AID
EYE:Contact with Liquid Oxygen may cause frostbite. Rinse with lukewarm water for 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention.
INGESTION:Contact with Liquid Oxygen may cause frostbite. Rinse with lukewarm water for 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention.
INHALATION:Exposure to PURE Oxygen for a prolonged period (from 5 minutes @ 100psig. to 5 hours @ 1 atm.) have been reported to cause pulmonary irritation, edema. Reduce pressure, move to fresh air where possible. Obtain medical attention.
SKIN:Contact with Liquid Oxygen may cause frostbite. Rinse with lukewarm water for 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE:Faceshield to prevent contact with cold liquid.
HAND:Insulated gloves to prevent contact with cold liquid or insulated containers.
FEET:Safety footwear where applicable.
CLOTHING:Long sleeves, trousers recommended.
RESPIRATOR:Not applicable.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:Provide ventilation. Keep oil, grease, combustible materials away.
SPILL AND LEAK PROCEDURE:Remove all sources of ignition. Clear the area, Spills on combustible surfaces may cause a fire hazard. Ventilate for 2 hours after the frost has disappeared on the surface before walking on it. Try to stop the leak at source if without risk. Gas will dissipate depending on the site/area ventilation. Verify oxygen concentration prior to re-entry.
WASTE DISPOSAL:No wastes may be generated other than empty containers
HANDLING PROCEDURES & EQUIPMENT:Keep away from Oil, Grease, Combustible, Flammable materials. Use appropriate carts for moving containers. Secure container when in use. Close the container valve when NOT in use, or when empty.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS:Store in well ventilated areas. Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep containers upright.
SPECIAL SHIPPING INFORMATION:Transport upright in well-ventilated vehicle. Do not transport in trunk of enclosed vehicle. Commercial (cylinders) quantities may NOT be transported in passenger compartments.
