Warning
Standard guidelines for safe handling and storage of liquid nitrogen are
available from the supplier and must be carefully observed
Warning
Handle liquid nitrogen with care.
Contact with skin may cause serious
frostbite. Do not allow objects cooled by liquid nitrogen to touch your bare
skin. Objects cooled by liquid nitrogen may stick to the skin and tear flesh
when attempting removal.
Warning
Protective clothing can reduce the hazards of handling liquid nitrogen.
Insulated or heavy leather gloves should always be worn when handling any
object that has been in contact with liquid nitrogen. Loose fitting gloves are
recommended so that they may be discarded quickly in the event that any
liquid nitrogen splashes into them. If you are working with open containers
of liquid nitrogen, boots should be worn and trousers should not be tucked
into boots, but worn outside.
Warning
Personal protective equipment is essential and can save you from the risk
of liquid nitrogen.
Full face shield and safety glasses are recommended for
eyes/face protection.
Warning
Fill the container slowly
to
avoid the expansion stress that occurs as a result
of the rapid cooling. Too much pressure can damage the container.
Warning
Do not seal the containers tightly.
The use of a tight-fitting stopper or plug
that prevents the adequate venting of gas allows a build-up of pressure that
could severely damage or even burst the container. Even an accumulation of
ice or frost on the lid can interfere with proper venting. To assure safe
operation, only use the original sponge lid supplied with the Dewar.
