HYDROGEN PEROXIDE VAPOUR IS HAZARDOUS
-
Ensure that the enclosure to be gassed is sealed to prevent hydrogen
peroxide vapour escaping.
-
Ensure that any possible points of entry are sealed, locked where
possible and warning signs displayed if appropriate.
-
Ensure area to be gassed is free of any humans, animals and plants.
SPILLAGES
Mop up with plenty of water and run to waste, diluting at least 20:1.
POWER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT
Ensure the Bioquell ProteQ system modules are connected to
appropriately rated circuits which have an earth.
COMMUNICATION CONNECTIONS
If more than one system is in operation on a site, ensure each system is
on a separate network. This can be identified by the colour of the
wireless indicator, otherwise operational interference may occur
DURING A CYCLE
-
Do not enter the area being bio-decontaminated
-
A suitable portable H
2
O
2
detector should be used throughout the
cycle to monitor concentrations outside the area.
-
If leak is detected, leak sealing and evacuation procedures should be
followed.
AT THE END OF AERATION
Before re-entering the area check that the vapour concentration is at, or
below, the countries Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL) (Long-term
exposure limit is 1ppm and short-term is 2ppm in the UK). In USA: the
Permitted Exposure Limit (PEL) has a Threshold Limit Value (TLV) of
1ppm for eight hours exposure a day.
IF THE CYCLE ABORTS DURING GASSING OR AERATION
-
Check that the vapour concentration is at, or below, the OEL before
entering the enclosure
-
If above the OEL, run further aeration cycles in accordance with
these instructions until the safe concentration level is reached.
EXTERNAL DISCHARGE OF VAPOUR
If a fixed ventilation system is used to exhaust, it must not allow
leakage of hydrogen peroxide vapours within the building. When the
HVAC is started, check that the room does not become heavily
pressurised, as this could cause the room sealing to become
compromised.
