the oxygen (e.g. nitrogen, other inert gases)

Circumstances (oxygen concentration too high) Leaking of oxygen from pipes, oxygen bottles Measures (oxygen concentration too low) - Eliminate oxygen deficiency by mechanically aerating the room - Use self-contained respiratory protection Measures (oxygen concentration too high) - Apply hose rupture protection - No oxygen bottles in the room (e.g. confined space)

Conditions/places for potentially harmful biological agents - Waste processing - Healthcare - Agriculture - Food industry - Contact with animals - Sewers - Water treatment plants - Polluted soil - Pharmaceutical industry - Biotechnology industry Forms of health damage Infections/diseases, poisonings, allergies, fungi and parasites

Specific prevention measures -

Implications - Dispersion of product in the breathing air - Danger of fire - Environmental pollution - Slip

Skin protection, such as: protective clothing, gloves, protection cream Eye protection in case of splash hazard

- - - -

Respiratory protection

Wash hands Vaccinations

Causes -

Poor maintenance of installations Poor installation of flanges Incorrect procedure for pouring

- - - -

Leaking taps/seals

Damage (e.g. collision by forklift truck)

Principle for distinguishing between gas cylinders Color coding according to old and new code Color code on the cylinders of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, air and acetylene - Oxygen (white shoulder) - Nitrogen (black shoulder) - Carbon dioxide (grey shoulder) - Sky (light green shoulder) - Acetylene (maroon shoulder)

Preventive and corrective measures - Regularly check whether installation is in order - Only trained personnel carry out repairs and work - Report any onset of leaks - Sufficiently large drip tray under tanks - Repair leaks professionally - Remove leaked product professionally

Points of attention for using the correct gas cylinder
