Protective Equipment
Cryogloves
The wearing of a suitable pair of gloves is essential for day to day operations with liquefied gases.
Gloves generally fall into two categories. Those for handling objects in cold gas vapours are usually gauntlets of
mid-arm or shoulder length. For handling liquid dispensing hoses and tanks, heavy duty leather wrist length
gloves can be used.
Face Shields
Clear visors are available to protect eyes and face from liquid splashes.
Aprons
Thermal aprons can also be worn to protect against liquid splashes.
Footwear
Appropriate safety footwear should be worn at all times. Lightweight footwear and open sandals are not
recommended for obvious reasons. Wellington or loose fitting boots should be tied at the top to ensure that no
liquid can enter. For best protection use only approved safety footwear.
Oxygen Deficiency Monitors
Analysis of the oxygen content in an atmosphere is often overlooked but can be one of the most fundamental
safety measures. A monitor can provide a constant analysis and thus increase safety.
All of the above safety equipment is available from Statebourne’s Customer Service Department who
will be pleased to help with any queries you might have.
