4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Eye Contact

Ingestion

Contact with liquid or cold vapor can cause frostbite.

Immediately flush with water for at least 15 minutes, opening
eyelids to ensure flushing.
Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Inhalation

Skin Contact

Victims should be assisted to an uncontaminated area is most

important.
Move exposed person to fresh air.
If not breathing, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by
trained personnel.
In the event of cardiac arrest apply external cardiac massage.
Further treatment should be symptomatic and supportive.
Keep victim warm and quiet.
PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDAROTY IN
ALL CASES OF OVEREXPOSURE.
RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.

Take off the contaminated clothing / shoes immediately.

Flush the affected area with lukewarm water not exceeds 105oF
(40oC) immediately.
Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Unlikely route of exposure.

Do not include vomiting.
Provided the patient is conscious, wash out mouth with water
and give 200-300ml of water to drink.
Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Special
chemical

High concentrations may cause asphyxiation.

Symptoms may include loss of mobility/ consciousness.
Victim may not be aware of asphyxiation.
As asphyxiation progresses, nausea, vomiting, prostration, and
loss of consciousness may result, eventually leading to
convulsions, coma, and death.

Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire.

Exposure to fire may cause containers to rupture/explode.

R134a does not support life. It act as a simple asphyxiant.

Special protective equipment and
precautions for fire fighters

In case of fire: Stop leak if safe to do so.

Continue water spray from protected position until container
stays cool.
In confined space use self-contained breathing apparatus (open­circuit positive pressure compressed air type) in combination
with fire kit.
Thermal decomposition will evolve very toxic and corrosive
vapors (hydrogen fluoride).
HFC 134a is not flammable in air under ambient condition of
temperature and pressure.
Certain mixtures of HFC 134a and air when under pressure
maybe flammable.
Certain mixtures of HFCs and chlorine may be flammable or
reactive under certain conditions.
Safety gloves and shoes, or boots, should be worn when
handling cylinders.
