7C-3. Hazards - Electrical
Turn OFF all power switches and disconnect
power cord from power source receptacle before
performing service work. Failure to do so could
result in serious injury or death. Operate the
AGW–4015/4025/4045 on a near level surface
with safe access to electrical power. Connect
the AGW–4015/4025/4045 to a G.F.C.I. type
receptacle. Do not bury the electrical cord. To
reduce risk of electrical shock, replace damaged
cord immediately.
7C-4. Hazards - Fire
Ozone is nonflammable. Decomposition of ozone
into oxygen gas, O
2
, can increase strength of
fire. Ozone is unstable at room temperature and
spontaneously decomposes to oxygen gas. Avoid
ignition sources such as heat, sparks, and open
flame. Keep away from strong reducing agents and
combustible materials such as grease, oils, and
fats.
7C-5. Hazards - Chemical Action
Ozone is chemically incompatible with all oxidizable
materials, both organic and inorganic.
7D. Precautions for Safe Handling & Use
7D-1. Ozone Monitors
Ambient ozone monitoring equipment should
be installed in the areas where ozone is being
generated or applied. See Monitoring Section 7E.
Self-adhesive ozone monitor badges, such as the
Chromair® System by K&M Environmental (Virginia
Beach, VA, www.kandmenvironmental.com),
may be used for personal or area monitoring for
exposure times ranging from 5 minutes to 10 hours.
7D-2. Ventilation
It is mandatory that general and local exhaust
ventilation be provided to dilute and disperse small
amounts of ozone into the outside atmosphere.
Federal, state, and local regulations must be
followed.
7D-3. Emergency Procedure
Due to the short life of ozone, evacuation and
ventilation is all that is generally required in the
event of a high ambient ozone alarm. All ozone
generating and delivery equipment should be shut
down (manually or automatically by alarm) and
a high speed fan activated to dilute and disperse
ozone to the atmosphere. Personnel should
evacuate the affected area until levels are returned
to below 0.1ppm.
7D-4. Respiratory Protection
A disposable respirator (3M #N95 8214/8514 -
Minneapolis, MN, www.3m.com) is recommended
for relief against ozone levels up to 10 times the
OSHA PEL or applicable government occupational
exposure limits, whichever is lower.
7D-5. Education & Training
The education and training of workers is the
responsibility of the employer. An effective
training program must be practical, based on
written work procedures and be specific to both
the job-site and the tasks to be performed.
Training shall also include the responsibilities
and responses of workers in an emergency. The
employer shall ensure, through the education
and training program, that all workers are able to
work without risk to themselves or others around
them. All workers must clearly understand their
responsibilities with regard to not only specific work
procedures, but also the need to report all hazards,
accidents or incidents and injuries.
All routine work and emergency procedures shall
be reviewed jointly by management and employees
at least annually.
7E. Monitoring
7E-1. Location of Monitors
Ambient ozone detection monitors shall be located
to monitor ozone room air and production/plant
room air for indoor applications.
7E-2. Monitoring Equipment
OZONE IN AIR
Electronic Ambient Ozone Monitor
Shall measure the level of ozone present in the 1.
room where ozone equipment is located.
The monitor shall include both visible and
2.
audible alarms. The EcoZone™ Model
