10.1.3 Filling reagent tubes
Risk of injury
Pressurised system
− The machine is pressurised during operation. The removal of the reagent
tube during operation results in an explosive escape of chemicals or
sample material and can cause injuries.
• Never remove reagent tubes during operation.
Risk of burns
Hot machine parts
− Some parts of the machine can get very hot and cause burns when
touched without wearing protective gloves.
• Wear heat-resistant protective gloves when working with hot
machine parts.
• Never touch hot parts of the machine without suitable protective
gloves.
Risk of eye injury
Chemicals
− When changing the chemicals, minute particles of chemicals may be
suspended in the air and cause burns to eyes.
• Always wear protective goggles when working with chemicals.
• Comply with the safety data sheets for the chemicals used.
Risk of poisoning
Toxic combustion gases
− Samples are exposed to high temperatures during the analysis. Harmful
gaseous fission products can be released or formed from reaction
processes here. These gases can escape from the gas outlet and cause
serious poisoning.
• Connect the exhaust air outlet on the machine to a suitable
ventilation system.
• Wear your personal protective equipment.
• Comply with the safety data sheet for the substances used.
• Carry out a risk analysis on the potential hazards of your samples
and implement protective measures.
