=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:TREAT INHALATION FIRST. EYE:FLUSH W/WATER FOR 15 MIN.
    SKIN:REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING & FLUSH W/WATER. INHALED: REMOVE
    FROM EXPOSURE. ADMINISTER OXYGEN UNTIL BREATHING IS EASY. GET
    IMMEDIATE MEDICAL  ATTENTION. INGESTED:DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. GIVE
    SEVERAL GLASSES OF MILK OR WATER TO DRINK. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL
    ATTENTION. NOTHING BY MOUTH IF UNCONSCIOUS.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Lower Limits:NONFLAMMABLE
Upper Limits:NONFLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:USE WATER TO KEEP FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL. IF
    IT IS NECESSARY TO STOP THE FLOW OF GAS. USE WATER SPRAY TO DIRECT
    ESCAPING GAS AWAY FROM EFFECTING THE SHUT-OFF.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. USE
    EXTINGUISHING MEDIA AS APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE. REMOVE
    CONTAINERS FROM FIRE ZONE IMMEDIATELY, UNLESS LEAKING. TOW TANK
    CARS & BARGES FROM DANGER AREA. WEAR  SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
    APPARATUS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CHLORINE GAS OR LIQUID IS NONEXPLOSIVE
    AND NONFLAMMABE. HOWEVER, LIKE OXYGEN, IT IS CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING
    COMBUSTION OF CERTAIN SUBSTANCES. REACTS EXPLOSIVELY OR FORMS
    EXPLOSIVE COMPOUNDS WITH MANY CH EMICALS SUCH AS ETHER AND
    HYDROGEN.

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

Spill Release Procedures:IF >10 LB (RQ), REPORT SPILL. KEEP UPWIND &
    VENTILATE AREA. WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT & SHUT OF LEAK AT
    SOURCE. CONTAIN LIQUID & PREVENT DISCHARGE TO STREAMS & SEWERS.
    CONTROL LOSS OF VOLITILES T O ATMOSPHERE. DO NOT APPLY WATER TO
    LEAK.
Neutralizing Agent:MFR GAVE NO INFORMATION ON MSDS.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN WELL VENTILATED AREA W/LOW
    FIRE POTENTIAL & AWAY FROM INCOMPATIBLES. KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT &
    SOURCE OF IGNITION. PROTECT FROM WEATHER & DAMAGE.
Other Precautions:AVOID INHALATION OF VAPORS & BODY CONTACT AS MOISTURE
    FORMS WEAK ACID. TRAIN WORKERS IN CHLORINE HANDLING. KEEP CHLORINE
    HANDLING SYSTEMS FREE OF ORGANICS, CLEAN, DRY & PROTECTED FROM
    FIRE.

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

Respiratory Protection:USE NIOSH APPROVED ACID GAS CHEMICAL CARTRIDGE
    RESPIRATOR OR FULL FACE W/CANISTER. USE SUPPLIED AIR RESPIRATOR IN
    POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE FOLLOWING ANSI Z117-1977 FOR TANK & CONFINED
    SPACE ENTRY.
Ventilation:USE CLOSED SYSTEM WHEN POSSIBLE. PROVIDE GENERAL AND LOCAL
    EXHAUST VENTILATION TO MEET OSHA CEILING EXPOSURE LIMIT OF 1PPM.
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS (LATEX & RUBBER RECOMMENDED)
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL GOGGLES & FACE SHIELD
Other Protective Equipment:HIGH CONCENTRATIONS:FULL BODY PROTECTION.
    LIGHT CONCENTRATIONS:TYVEC SUIT SEALED AT NECK, WRISTS, ANKLES IS
    FUNCTIONAL.
Work Hygienic Practices:MFR:?. HMIS:USE STRICT CHEMICAL HYGIENE
    PRACTICES. AVOID CONTACT IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER
    HANDLING.
Supplemental Safety and Health
