Learn safe practices for handling cryogenics and compressed gases. Protect yourself and others from potential hazards.
Cryogenics and compressed gas safety is a critical part of any university’s safety program. Almost 200 different types of gases can be contained in gas cylinders. Cryogenic gases are liquefied gases that are kept in their liquid state at very low temperatures and high pressures. This program covers the hazards, types of gases with emphasis on safety.Topics covered in this safety video include:hazards to consider, asphyxiation, fire and explosion, corrosive gases, chemical poisoning, materials for cryogenics, personal protective equipment (PPE), storage of cryogenics, liquid oxygen hazards, liquid nitrogen hazards, handling cylinders, leak detection, identification, cryogenics and gas cylinder storage, working with cylinders, cold burns and frostbite, first aid, cylinder piping and manifold safety, and training.
The three most typical types of compressed gases are liquefied, non-liquefied, and dissolved gases.
Cryogenic liquids are extremely cold liquids that, at normal temperatures, would be a gas. They have a low boiling point and need to be kept very cold to prevent vaporization.
Compressed gases may be flammable, toxic, oxidizing, or corrosive. Some gases have more than one hazard associated with them.
Rinse the affected area with tepid water and seek medical advice. Hot water and dry heat are expected to not be used as the re-warming process are expected to be gradual.
Oxygen is the most typical oxidizing compressed gas as it accelerates combustion. Due to this property, it are expected to be kept at least 20 feet from flammable and highly combustible materials.
