Cryo/Cold Protection

Risks in Handling Cryogenic Liquids

Handling cryogenic liquids represent several hazards and workers handling such materials need to be trained in how to handle them safely. Emergency protocol should be established and rehearsed, training provided in the operation of all equipment and there should be knowledge and appreciation of hazardous properties of the materials. Protective gear is essential for handling any cryogenic liquid.

Key Hazards as per OSHA

Cold Temperature

Frostbite

Adverse Weather Conditions

Generally recommended protective apparel for handling cryogenic liquids include the following:

  • Fitting gloves
  • Protective face shield and goggles
  • Protective apron without pockets
  • Protective gaiters
  • Pants without cuffs
  • Gaiters

For maximum dexterity and safety, cryogenic apparel must fit properly. Although they should be loose enough to allow for quick removal if necessary, apparel that is too large impairs dexterity and function. Tight apparel leads to thermal loss.

The importance of the workplace being free from recognised hazards is understood by us and thus we suggest employing appropriate PPE as well as safe work practices. Along with proper protective equipment, it is vital to train the workers on the appropriate engineering controls and work practices to minimise the risk of stress. Udyogi offers protection while dispensing or transporting cyrogenic liquids, which may pose as a threat to workers if not managed properly.

Udyogi has over four decades of experience in designing the right solution for organisations given the hazards prevalent in the workplace.
