since it has an impactful scent, it can be identified effectively from miles away on the off chance that it leaks. In the event of any releases, all people inside must be requested to leave quickly.

Such events are very rare but in case of an occurrence, they have a tendency to be cataclysmic, and consequently deserving to be mentioned.

Although the gas can burst into flames with certain mixtures, it has extremely very low chance for bursting into flames. This makes it much safer than other gases. Employees should be well trained on the different precautions to take to avoid such blasts. It is important to note that though the bursts are less likely to occur, once they do they are very catastrophic.

There has been a lot of improvement in the refrigeration world and use of this gas is slowly being faced out. Most companies are opting to uses gases that will cause less damage in case of a seep.
