Remedial Actions

1. If liquid R134a strikes the eye, do not rub it. Gently run large quantities of eyewash over the eye to raise the temperature. If eyewash is not available cool, clean water may be used. Cover eye with clean pad and seek immediate medical attention.
2. If liquid R134a is splashed on the skin run large quantities of water over the area as soon as possible to raise the temperature. Carry out the same actions if skin comes into contact with discharging cylinders. Wrap affected parts in blankets or similar material and seek immediate medical attention.
3. If suspected of being overcome by inhalation of R134a vapor seek fresh air. If unconscious remove to fresh air. Apply artificial respiration and/or oxygen and seek immediate medical attention.


NOTE: Due to its low evaporating temperature of -30° C, R134a should be handled with care.
