22. Signage • OSHA defines the meanings of many of the colors, shapes, and words used in accident prevention signs and tags in order to determine at a glance: • what level of risk is present and • what level of precaution is called for. • Signs may also have a picture instead of, or in addition to, words.

23. Signage • Please check with the EHS department before hanging a sign that is supposed to alert others working in the area aware of the hazard. • Handwritten signs are acceptable as long as they are legible and they identify the level of risk present e.g. CAUTION, DANGER, etc.

24. Signage Color Red = Orange = Yellow= Green = Blue= • DANGERsigns identify something as very high risk. • WARNING signs indicate a hazard level is somewhere between DANGER and CAUTION. • CAUTION signs alert personnel that there are either potential hazards that call for proper precautions to be taken or they are being cautioned against unsafe practices. • SAFETY instruction signs deliver a useful safety instruction or suggestion. • NOTICE signs deliver a general instruction or suggestion.

25. EXIT Signs • Every required sign designating an exit or way of exit access shall be so located and of such size, color and design as to be readily visible. • Nothing can block exit signs or detract attention from them.

26. The following are the TOP 10 cited OSHA Standards in 2010 • The following is a list of the top 10 most frequently cited standards following inspections of worksites by federal OSHA. • OSHA publishes this list to alert employers about these commonly cited standards so they can take steps to find and fix recognized hazards addressed in these and other standards before OSHA shows up. Far too many preventable injuries and illnesses occur in the workplace. • 1926.451 – Scaffolding • 1926.501 – Fall Protection • 1910.1200 – Hazard Communication • 1910.134 – Respiratory Protection • 1926.1053 – Ladders • 1910.147 – Lockout/Tagout • 1910.305 – Electrical, Wiring Methods • 1910.178 – Powered Industrial Trucks • 1910.303 – Electrical, General Requirements • 1910.212 – Machine Guarding Fines range from thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars

34. SAFE HANDLING OF CRYOGENIC GASES AND LIQUIDS

35. Introduction • Cryogenic fluids (liquefied gases) are characterized by extreme low temperatures, ranging from boiling points of -78.5°C(-109°F) for carbon dioxide to -269.9°C (-454°F) for helium . • Due to the great expansion ratio of cryogenic gases, a spillage can result in significant oxygen depletion within the room, which may be life threatening.

36. What kinds of cryogenic gases are you likely to use? • The most commonly used gases that are transported, handled, and stored in the liquid state at cryogenic temperatures are: • Argon • Carbon Dioxide • Helium • Hydrogen • Nitrogen • Oxygen

37. Properties of Cryogenic Liquids

38. Hazards of Cryogenic Liquids • Severe cold burns (frostbite) • Asphyxiation • Oxygen Enrichment • Pressurization and Explosion • Damage to Equipment

39. Frostbite • Contact of the skin with cryogenic liquids (or even cold gas) can cause severe cryogenic burns; similar to frost bite or thermal burns. • Contact with non-insulated parts or equipment or vessels containing cryogenic liquids can produce similar damage. • Inhalation of cold vapor can cause damage to the lungs and may trigger an asthma attack in susceptible individuals. • Hypothermia is a risk due to the low temperatures arising from the proximity of cryogenic liquids. Seek medical attention, if you feel pain in exposed areas OR your skin has turned white

40. Oxygen Deficiency and Asphyxiation • If someone is seen unconscious in a cryogenic handling or storage area it is likely that they are already dead. • In such circumstances the first actions should be to raise the alarm, evacuate the immediate area opening doors and windows if safe to do so on the way out.

41. Oxygen Enrichment • Although not flammable, oxygen when present in higher concentrations, can significantly increase the chance of fire or an explosion. • Oxygen enriched environment can lead to the ignition of normally non-combustible materials. Oil and grease may spontaneously ignite.

42. Pressurization • Evaporated gas can build-up pressure in a closed containers • Every container must have a way to relief that pressure: either through the cap or relief valve

43. Damage To Equipment • The very cold temperatures of cryogenic liquids can damage equipment and materials, which can result in danger. Examples of damage include the following: • Spilled liquid nitrogen can crack tiles and damage flooring such as vinyl • Rubber tubing may become brittle and crack during use • Condensation of water around electrical cables may result in an electrical shock hazard

44. Storing Cryogenic Liquids • Only store dewars in well-ventilated rooms with a minimum of six air changes per hour. • Storage units should be placed so that vents and openings are oriented away from personnel and lab equipment.

45. Transporting Cryogens When transporting dewars the following aspects should be taken into consideration: • Is the correct PPE worn? • Is the destination ready to accept it? • Does route take you through populated work areas? • Are there any slip or trip hazards (including stairs) which could result in spillage? • If transported on a wheeled cart, is the route passable (steps, curbs)? • Is the material secure to prevent spills?

46. Transporting Cryogens • In an elevator: • Make sure the material is secure and cannot spill • Meet the elevator at its destination or have someone assist you • DO NOT travel in the elevator with cryogenic material or allow anyone else in the elevator

47. Moving Liquid Containers

48. Procedure for Filling a Dewar When handling LN2 (or any other cryogen) always: • Inspect all PPE and cryogenic equipment prior to use. • Wear safety glasses and a face shield. • Wear waterproof, loose-fitting, cryogenic gloves. • Wear cuffless pants and shoes made of nonabsorbent material. • Wear a long-sleeved shirt and a lab coat or cryogenic apron. If a lab coat or cryogenic apron is not worn, shirts are to be worn outside of the pants. • Stand clear of any LN2 boil off, vapors, or splashes

49. Cryogenic Containers • Verify that the container is constructed to withstand cryogenic temperatures. • Unapproved materials (such as plastic, rubber, wrought iron, hollow tubes, and carbon steel, styrofoam cups) will become brittle and shatter, or in the case of hollow tubes become over pressurized.
