Compressed Gases and Cryogenics Safety Program
$25.00
Compressed Gases and Cryogenics Safety establishes practices for safely handling, storing, transporting, and using compressed gas cylinders and cryogenic materials in laboratory environments. These materials may present hazards involving high pressure, oxygen displacement, fire, explosion, toxicity, extreme cold, frostbite, and rapid expansion of liquefied gases. The program addresses cylinder identification and securing, valve and regulator protection, safe transport, gas compatibility, ventilation, leak prevention, cryogenic containers and Dewars, transfer procedures, and appropriate personal protective equipment.
Employees must understand the properties and hazards of the gases and cryogenic materials they use and follow established procedures during handling and transfer. Oxygen-deficiency hazards must be evaluated where gases could displace breathable air. Proper storage, inspections, training, emergency procedures, and prompt response to leaks, damaged equipment, or oxygen alarms help prevent injuries and serious incidents.
Description
The Compressed Gases and Cryogenics Safety Program provides written procedures and responsibilities for laboratories that use compressed gases, liquefied gases, or cryogenic materials. The program addresses receiving and inspection, cylinder storage and segregation, securing cylinders, regulators and valves, movement and transport, connections and leak checks, ventilation, oxygen-deficiency hazards, cryogenic transfer operations, Dewars and other containers, and required personal protective equipment.
The program also addresses specialized concerns such as incompatible gases, flammable and oxidizing gases, toxic or hazardous gases, pressure-related hazards, cryogenic burns and frostbite, oxygen enrichment or displacement, rapid liquid-to-gas expansion, damaged or leaking cylinders, and emergency response. Responsibilities for management, supervisors, laboratory personnel, and other affected employees are established along with training, inspection, and recordkeeping requirements.
Provided in editable Microsoft Word format, the program can be customized for the gases, cryogenic materials, equipment, facilities, and procedures used by your laboratory and incorporated into a Laboratory Safety Manual or used as a standalone written safety program.
