Personnel protection
It is recommended that persons handling gas containers wear
safety glasses, safety footwear and clean, sturdy gloves.
Persons handling equipment in service with liquid nitrogen should
wear protective face shields, loose fitting leather or insulated
gauntlets.
EMERGENCIES
In the event of accident or emergency, the instructions below
should be implemented without delay. After emergency action
has been taken, contact your nearest Air Products PLC Sales Office
(see list at the back) for further advice.
Asphyxiation
Persons showing symptoms of oxygen deprivation should be
moved immediately to a normal atmosphere. Persons who are
unconscious or not breathing must receive immediate first aid.
Medical assistance should be summoned without delay and first
aid measures include inspection of the victim's airway for
obstruction, artificial respiration and simultaneous administration
of oxygen. The victim should be kept warm and quiet.
It is important to note that personnel carrying out rescue
operations must minimize the risk to themselves. A RESCUER
SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO ENTER AN OXYGEN-DEFICIENT
ATMOSPHERE WITHOUT USING SUITABLE SELF-CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS; OTHERWISE HE MAY HIMSELF BE
OVERCOME. Many double fatalities have occurred in industry as a
result of personnel who, with the best intentions but without
proper breathing apparatus and equipment, have entered an
oxygen-deficient atmosphere in an attempt to rescue a colleague.
Treatment of cold burns and frostbite
Cold burns should receive medical attention as quickly as possible.
However, such injuries are not an everyday occurrence and
doctors, hospital staff or on-site first aid personnel may not be
aware of the basic methods of treatment. The following notes
describe the first aid treatment and recommended advice for
further treatment to be given by a medical practitioner or a
hospital.
First Aid
In severe cases, summon medical attention at once. Flush affected
areas of skin with copious quantities of tepid water to reduce
freezing of tissue. Loosen any clothing that may restrict blood
circulation. Move the victim to a warm place but not to a hot
environment and do not apply direct heat to the affected areas.
Every effort should be made to protect the frozen areas from
infection and further injury. Dry, sterile bulky dressings may be
used but should not be applied so tightly that blood circulation is
restricted.
