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...

Chapter
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...

Chapter
Physical Hazards
The hazards considered in this chapter are those associated with changes in phase of cryogenic fluids, and with interactions between the fluids and their environments.

Chapter
Physiological Hazards
The hazards considered in this chapter are those associated with the exposure of humans to the cryogenic fluids and their vapors. Such exposure may result in the freezing of tissue and in various respiratory a...

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...
