Procedures, staff training, specific
collective and personal protective
equipment are required to work
in the presence of toxic gases.
PLAN
• Guarantee that the operating procedures, work instructions
and ERP have been developed considering the risks related
to toxic gas release.
• Guarantee that everybody is informed on toxic gas risk
and properly trained on their specific role during
emergencies,
and on collective/personal protective equipment.
• Guarantee that each worker has both a personal toxic gas
detector and a proper breathing escaping device (full face
mask / hood with specific filter / air bottle).
• Post safety signs and any other means, warning of the
potential
presence of toxic gas.
READY?
• Are you authorized to enter a toxic gas classified area?
• Is the ERT present on site and alerted?
GO!
• Always wear your full face mask / hood with specific
filter / air bottle, to be used exclusively in case of
emergency,
and your personal detection devices when working in an area
where there is or could be the presence of toxic gas
(provided
that breathable air is guaranteed, otherwise, use a breathing
apparatus).
