First Aid Measures:
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with water for at least 10 minutes, lifting eyelids. Remove contact lenses if present. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Inhalation: Move the person to fresh air, keep them at rest. Provide artificial respiration if needed by trained professionals. Seek medical attention for severe or persistent symptoms.
Skin Contact: Wash affected area with water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes carefully. Warm frozen tissue with lukewarm water if exposed to liquid refrigerant. Do not rub the area.
SDS Guidelines:
SDS provides specific emergency instructions for each refrigerant.
Fire hazards, extinguishing media, and cleanup protocols vary based on the refrigerant (e.g., R-454B recommends water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemicals).
Check SDS for symptoms, treatment notes, and specific instructions for medical personnel.
Accidental Release Measures:
Evacuate the area and keep unprotected personnel away.
Shut off all ignition sources, provide ventilation, and wear protective equipment.
Prevent spilled material from reaching soil, waterways, drains, or sewers. Notify authorities in case of environmental contamination.
Use sparkproof tools for cleanup and containment, and contact emergency personnel.
