Preview

Category:
This publication identifies hazards inherent in oxygen-rich atmospheres and provides rules and recommendations for:

— safe working practices where oxygen-rich atmospheres can occur;

— preventing unexpected changes in the oxygen content of the atmosphere; and

— limiting the effects of accidents if they occur.

This publication provides guidance for the detection and identification, potential causes, hazards, and risk mitigation associated with oxygen-rich atmospheres resulting from a variation of oxygen content in atmospheres in the working environment.

Oxygen-Rich Atmospheres

Compressed Gas Association , 11/04/2008

Category:
Liquid and gaseous oxygen is a common product used in many industries and health care facilities. Oxygen is both essential to human life and a necessary product in many industrial processes. However, too little atmospheric oxygen (oxygen deficiency) presents a potential hazard from asphyxiation and too much oxygen (oxygen enrichment) can lead to increased risk of fire and burn injuries since oxygen supports and can accelerate combustion. This publication describes the potential hazards of an oxygen-rich atmosphere, how to detect and avoid an occurrence, and precautions and emergency response measures necessary should an oxygen-rich atmosphere occur.
