Odourised Commercial Propane

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

GHS Classification EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Extremely flammable liquefied gas under pressure. Keep away from heat, sparks, flame, and all other ignition sources. Vapour is heavier than air and travel along the ground to possible distant ignition sources causing an explosive flashback. Vapour replaces oxygen available for breathing and may cause suffocation in confined spaces. Avoid breathing vapour. Use only with adequate ventilation. Where appropriate, use proper respiratory protection and personal protective equipment. Liquid can cause freeze burn similar to frostbite. Do not get liquid in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep service valve closed when not in use.

Potential health effects

INFORMATION Inhalation: Asphyxiation. Exposure to concentrations >10% may cause dizziness. Exposure to atmospheres containing 19% or less oxygen will bring about unconsciousness without warning. Lack of sufficient oxygen may cause serious injury or death Ingestion: Ingestion is not expected to occur in normal use. Liquid can cause freeze burn similar to frostbite. Eye Contact: Contact with liquid can cause freezing of tissue. Skin Contact: Contact with liquid can cause frostbite. Skin Absorption: None.
