Always wear tight-fitting safety glasses if there is any risk for refrigerant leakage.

If refrigerant gets in the eyes rinse immediately in running water for 15 seconds. Seek medical assistance if you experience any problems after exposure (with vision etc.).

Protect exposed skin (hands) to avoid frostbite injuries.

If skin is exposed to refrigerant, flush the affected area with warm running water. Treat the injury as for frostbite.
