WARNING SUMMARY (cont)
WARNING
Fire bottles can discharge and injure you. Insert antirecoil plugs, lock pins, and cotter pins
before you work on or near fire bottles.
You could be injured if cylinder discharges when it is out of its mounting brackets or is dropped.
Discharge cylinder completely before removing from its mount. Handle with great care.
WARNING
Chemical agent resistant coating (CARC) paint contains isocyanate (HDI) which is highly
irritating to skin and respiratory system. High concentractions of HDI can cause itching and
reddening of skin, a burning sensation in throat and nose, and watering eyes. In extreme
concentrations, HDI can cause coughing, shortness of breath, pain during breathing, increased
sputum production, and chest tightness. The following precautions must be taken whenever
using CARC paint:
ALWAYS use air line respirators when using CARC paint unless air sampling
shows exposure to be below standards.
DO NOT let skin or eyes come in contact with CARC paint. Always wear protective
equipment (gloves, ventilation mask, goggles, etc.)
DO NOT use CARC paint without adequate ventilation.
NEVER weld or cut CARC-painted materials.
DO NOT grind or sand CARC-painted equipment without high-efficiency
air purifying respirators in use.
BE AWARE of CARC paint exposure symptoms, which can occur a few days after intial
exposure. Seek medical help immediately if symptoms are detected.
