Shipslog Safety Instructions
of the body.
Handle vessels containing liquid nitrogen carefully. Liquid nitrogen boils at -196ºC and both liquid
and gas can cause rapid and severe frostbite. Delicate tissue, e.g. the eyes, can be damaged by
an exposure to the cold gas, which may be too brief to affect the skin of the hands or face.
Stand clear of boiling and splashing liquid nitrogen and its gas when filling a dewar at normal room
temperature or when inserting objects (such as a pump) into the liquid.
Use tongs or wear cryogloves when handling cold or hot objects. Cryogloves are available as an
accessory from Planer plc. During operation, freezer chambers and contents may get cold
enough to cause frostbite.
Only use vessels designed for working with liquid nitrogen.
User servicing is limited to cleaning. All other servicing must only be undertaken by suitably
qualified engineers.
1.2
First aid
IF IN DOUBT, SEEK IM M EDIATE M EDICAL ATTENTION.
If any quantity of liquid nitrogen comes into contact with the skin or eyes, immediately flood that
area of the body with large quantities of unheated water, apply cold compresses and seek medical
attention. If the skin is blistered or there is any possibility that eyes have been affected, the patient
should be taken immediately to a doctor or hospital for treatment.
