6.2 CLEANING UP OF REFRIGERANT
General Measures:
1. Gas/vapor that is heavier than air may accumulate in confined spaces,
particularly at or below ground level.
2. Eliminate every possible source of ignition.
3. Use appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE).
4. Evacuate unnecessary personnel.
5. Do not get the refrigerant in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not breathe in
vapors or gas.
6. Prevent entry to sewers and public waters.
7. Stop the source of the refrigerant from releasing, if safe to do so. Consider the
use of water spray to disperse vapors.
8. Isolate the area until gas has been dispersed. Ventilate and gas test the area
before entering. Contact competent authorities after a spill.
