5.9.1 Safety instructions when working with liquid nitrogen
Avoid spillage of liquid
nitrogen:
When spilled on a surface, liquid nitrogen
tends to cover the surface completely and
cools it immediately.
Rooms need to be well ventilated: • To be able to prevent excessive nitrogen
gas concentrations from being available.
• Excessive nitrogen gas concentrations
in the air reduce the concentration of
oxygen and can cause asphyxiation.
• Nitrogen gas cannot be detected by
human senses.
• As nitrogen gas is odorless there is the
risk of being inhaled as if it were normal
air.
Avoid skin contact: Due to the extremely low temperature of
liquid nitrogen (-196°C), any skin contact
can cause severe frostbites.
Wear face shield or
safety goggles:
• The sensitive eye tissue can be dam-
aged if exposed to this cold gas, even if
exposed for a short period of time.
• Use only safety goggles with side
shields.
