CLASS
Cryogenic Protection
APPLICATION
Handling of smaller objects or samples that have been stored or hardened in cryogenic liquids, dispensing/transferring cryogenic liquids, any open cryogenic containers with the chance of exposure to liquids or splashes
*USAGE / SAFETY STATEMENT
Not intended for immersion in liquid nitrogen or other cryogenic liquids. Anyone handling cryogenic liquids should be familiar with the hazards presented by such materials and trained in how to handle them safely. Emergency procedures should be established and rehearsed, proper training in the operation of all equipment provided and knowledge and appreciation of hazardous properties of the materials instilled. Cryogenic liquids should never be handled without proper protective gear.
Generally recommended protective apparel for handling cryogenic liquids include the following:
• Proper fitting gloves*
• Protective face shield and goggles
• Protective apron without pockets
• Protective gaiters
• Pants without cuffs
• Shoes without laces
*Proper Fitting Gloves For maximum dexterity and safety, cryogenic gloves must fit properly. Although gloves should be loose enough to allow for quick removal if necessary, a glove that is too large impairs dexterity and function. A tight glove leads to thermal loss.
