Remedial Actions in case of accidental contact

with R134a:

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 vapour, seek fresh air. Apply artificial

respiration and/or oxygen and seek immediate

medical attention.

°

C, R134a

should be handled with care.
