The label also contains safety warnings about the handling of high-pressure oxidizing gas and the use of equipment cleaned and rated for oxygen service.

This is a label for a container of refrigerated, liquid oxygen that should be kept upright and handled with caution due to its extremely cold and oxidizing properties, which can accelerate combustion and cause severe frostbite. It must be stored and used with adequate ventilation, as inhaling concentrated oxygen can be harmful. The text includes warnings to not smoke in the presence of the oxygen or combustibles, to avoid contact with liquid oxygen, and to only use equipment designed for oxygen service. The label also advises using the oxygen only in accordance with the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and seeking medical treatment immediately in case of frostbite. Emergency use by properly trained personnel is allowed for oxygen deficiency and resuscitation, but the uninterrupted use of high concentrations of oxygen without monitoring can be harmful.*
