This equipment contains toxic gases. Adequate ventilation of enclosed areas serves as the chief
precaution against an accumulation of toxic gases. In addition, for highly toxic gases, install
automatic devices to constantly monitor gas concentrations and set off alarms if the concentrations
approach a danger point. Bedfont offer suitable gas detection alarms as system accessories.
Precautions against skin or eye contact with toxic gases include a thorough knowledge of the
dangers, training for all personnel handling such gases, the development of procedures and
equipment for handling them, and the use of special protective clothing and equipment (such as
self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), portable gas monitors, protective garments, gloves,
and face shields).
