It is the responsibility of every employer to assess the risks of their work activities to
employees and others who may be affected i.e. customers, members of the public.
The sale of smoking drinks has the potential to be a hazardous activity if proper
procedures are not followed and persons can be affected by freeze burns and general
discomfort if they come in to contact with Dry Ice.
In addition, the dispensing of the Dry Ice using carbon dioxide Cylinders and the
charging mechanism can be hazardous if proper and safe procedures are not followed.
JetChill has drafted generic Risk Assessments for the use of their equipment and the
sale/serving of the smoking drinks. It is recommended that you use the generic
assessments and further develop these to reflect the conditions at your own venue.
Add extra risk assessments if you will be using the JetChill equipment in any ways or for
any activities in addition to those covered.
Licence holders/users of the equipment are responsible for completing their own site
specific Risk Assessments and can use their own standard Risk Assessment template or
the blank template included in this section.
The important aspect of any risk assessment is the pragmatic review of potential
hazards and risks and the implementation of control measures so that those hazards
and risks are reduced to the lowest acceptable level, including elimination.
Once the risk assessment has been completed it must be communicated to staff and
they must be provided with appropriate training.
It is recommended that you include any copies of site specific risk assessments in this
section.
