web browser. The most common safety hazards when working on the GC are:
• Burns caused by touching heated areas on or in the GC.
• Release of pressurized gas containing hazardous chemical compounds caused by
opening inlets.
• Glass cuts or puncture wounds caused by sharp capillary column ends.
• Use of hydrogen as a GC carrier gas.
