It is unlikely that the volume of gas generated from mixing the JetChill carbon dioxide
powder with an alcoholic/non alcoholic beverage will be harmful if inhaled.
The hazards associated with using the JetChill drinks dispensing System are considered to
be low provided all operators are trained, the correct equipment is used, including the
proprietary drinking vessels provided by JetChill and the correct operating procedures are
followed. The hazards of ‘ice’ burns - to skin and or throat (when drinking Dry Ice) is
controlled by the fact that the Dry Ice powder cannot be touched by the customer nor
inadvertently consumed because they are trapped in the bottom of the drinking vessel.
The Dry Ice powder also sublimates quickly once it comes into contact with a beverage.
The use of carbon dioxide as Dry Ice is not of the same risk as using liquid nitrogen. Liquid
nitrogen has been used in the production of ‘entertainment’ drinks and there have been
severe consequences for the end users. The use of liquid nitrogen is NOT advocated by
JetChill and its products do not contain any element of liquid nitrogen.
Overall Assessment Regarding Health & Safety Law
The use of solid carbon dioxide powder together with small quantities of alcoholic or non-
alcoholic drinks, when dispensed the suitable, proprietary, JetChill drinking vessels is
deemed to be LOW RISK in respect of harm to the end consumers.
The dispensing of solid carbon dioxide into drinking vessels and the mixing with liquids is
considered to be LOW RISK to operators provided they follow the safe operating
procedures, Risk Assessments and other instructions provided by JetChill.
The storage of carbon dioxide Cylinders creates risks of gas leakage/explosion should
Cylinders be stored inappropriately. Operators are expected to follow the safe operating
and storage procedures.
Appropriate steps have been taken to evaluate the risks to operators and end consumers
from dispensing and consuming drinks containing solid carbon dioxide and overall the risk
category is:
LOW
