1.3.1.1 In case of hazardous sample material
Besides the dangers described above, there can also be hazards caused by the sample
material. Depending on the type of hazardous substances used, you have to observe
the specific substance-relevant safety instructions. Put on the specific warning label on
the corresponding module position. The label must be legible and permanently discern
-
ible.
The following list exemplifies types of hazardous sample material:
Frostbite:
This warning symbol indicates cryogenic liquids (e.g. liquid nitrogen)
required to operate the spectrometer (e.g. cooling detector).
Exposure to these liquids or cooled components causes frostbite
effects. Handle the liquids with utmost care. Observe the safety
instructions for operating with cryogenic liquids.
Hot Surface:
This warning symbol refers to components and surfaces which can
become very hot during spectrometer operation. Do not touch these
components and surfaces. Risk of skin burn! Be careful when operat
-
ing near hot components and/or surfaces.
Laser Radiation:
This warning symbol indicates the existence of laser radiation. Never
look directly into the laser beam, or use any kind of optical instruments
to look into the beam as this may cause permanent eye damage.

Infectious Material
This warning symbol indicates the possible existence of biologically
dangerous and infectious material. When working with this kind of
material always observe the prevailing laboratory safety regulations
and take necessary precautions and disinfection measures (e.g. wear
-
ing protective clothing, masks, gloves etc.). Non-observance may
cause severe personal injury or even death.
For information on how to use, dilute and efficiently apply disinfectants,
refer to the Laboratory Biosafety Manual: 1984 by WHO - World Health
