    Accident Investigations (Explosions)

    Each accident involving cryogenic fluids should be investigated to determine the cause of the accident and the procedure to be used to prevent a recurrence. The following steps have been found especially usefu...

    Introduction

    A systematic study of safety with cryogenic fluids can best be made by considering both the hazards associated with the materials, processes, and procedures of interest, and the principles to be used in the pr...

    Plant and Test Site Safety

    As with laboratory operations, basic safety considerations in low-temperature plants and test sites are similar to those in many chemical-processing plants. For example, many of the items considered by Kintz a...

    Laboratory Safety

    Basically, safety considerations in the low-temperature laboratory are similar to those in any other laboratory. Each worker must recognize his responsibilities to himself and to those around him. The supervis...

    Chemical Hazards

    Perhaps the most common but least understood hazard is that associated with exothermic chemical reactions. Such reactions may occur with certain combinations of cryogenic fluids and with cryogenic fluids in co...
