Safety Considerations
Pressure control situations requiring squeeze-off may involve working in the
vicinity of escaping gas. Consider the possibility and potential hazard of static
electricity and observe safety precautions. Safety precautions regarding static
electricity generally include performing squeeze-off in a separate bellhole remote
from the blowing gas; applying a wet rag/tape to the pipe surface; and spraying
the area with a fine water mist to conduct the static charge to the ground –
grounding the squeeze-off tool*. Check the squeeze-off tool prior to use to assure
it is the correct size; is properly functioning; and is properly adjusted for the
squeeze-off to be done.
* Consider using Reed’s Grounding Accessory (#04619) and Static Discharge Alarm
(#04620).
