When entering a confined area or area which may contain high inert gas
concentrations, a
"Buddy System" must be used. One person should remain
outside the suspect area, but within view of the other person. This method ensures
that the other person can respond in the event of an emergency.
Personal protective equipment required for use with inerts is listed in Section 1.8.
A list of inert gases used in the GASGUARD system follows:
Argon Halocarbon 115
Carbon Dioxide Halocarbon 116
Halocarbon 11 Helium
Halocarbon 12 Krypton
Halocarbon 13 Neon
Halocarbon 14 Nitrogen
Halocarbon 22 Perfluoropropane
Halocarbon 23 Sulfur Hexafluoride
Halocarbon 113 Xenon
Any gas, in addition to those listed above,
used in the GASGUARD system could
potentially displace the oxygen in the air
and cause asphyxiation.
1.9.6 Pressurized Gases
Pressurized gas lines could injure personnel
and damage equipment. Never tighten or
loosen a fitting when it is under pressure.
