WARNING: When the Eective Operating Zone is small, fans must be used to force the mixing/
stirring of air and reduce high concentrations of CO.
TYPE OF WORK CONSIDERATIONS
WARNING: Proper ventilation must be combined with air mixing/stirring to reduce CO to a safe
level.
MODEL 1: Worst Case CO Management
EXAMPLES OF CO MANAGEMENT IN SPACES
Model 1 illustrates the worst case of CO management for several reasons:
• The room is not properly ventilated
• The air in the room is not mixed/stirred with any fans
• The type of work shown (stripping) requires low speed movement and results in a smaller “Eec-
tive Operating Zone”.
Note: Even though the room is large, due to these worst practices, the engine exhaust is concentrated near
the operator, resulting in high CO exposure.
MODEL 2: Poor CO Management
EXAMPLES OF CO MANAGEMENT IN SPACES
Model 2 illustrates a slightly improved case of CO management, compared with Model 1, because air venti-
lation is introduced. As a result, the Eective Operating Zone is slightly increased and slightly lower levels
of CO concentration would be expected. However, because air is not mixed/stirred, and because the type
of work shown (stripping) requires low speed movement, there is still a potential risk of high CO exposure.
The CO cloud is still concentrated in a small area. Note the “Dividing Zone” shown above, this is the line
where airow changes direction. Because all of the CO exists on one side of the dividing zone, only half of
the room’s ventilation is eectively evacuating CO.
MODEL 3: Better CO Management
Model 3 illustrates an even more improved case of CO management, compared with Model 2, because the
air is being mixed/stirred with fan(s). Notice the CO concentration and the Eective Operating Zone (Ex-
panded to the Dividing zone) due to the forced air mixing. The CO cloud is still concentrated on one side of
the Dividing zone. As in Model 2, because all of the CO exists on one side of the dividing zone, only half of
the room’s ventilation is eectively evacuating CO.
