1.3.4 Hearing Protection
While the Dragon A400 is relatively quiet, it is recommended that the operator wear hearing
protection as specied per the facility safety requirements.
1.3.5 Breather Mask or Ventilation System
Plasma dust and debris is toxic, and inhalation can cause respiratory di󰀩culties or other
complications. It is recommended that the operator and any observers wear a breathing mask,
or that the shop be equipped with an e󰀨ective ventilation system for safe operation of the
