Ground All Piping

The rapid discharge of liquid carbon dioxide through a line which is not electrically

grounded will result in a buildup of static electricity. Contact with this electrical

charge could be startling and potentially dangerous to operating personnel. Such

lines should, therefore, be grounded before use.

NOTE:

For additional information on properties of carbon dioxide and proper

handling refer to CGA pamphlets G-6, “Carbon Dioxide” and G-6.1, “Standard for

Low Pressure Carbon Dioxide Systems at Consumer Sites”. These publications

are available from the Compressed Gas Association, 1235 Jefferson Davis Highway,

Arlington, VA, 22202

Cover Eyes and Skin

If released to atmosphere, liquid carbon dioxide will turn to carbon dioxide snow.

Accidental contact of carbon dioxide snow or cold gas with the eyes or skin may

cause severe frostbite. Handle liquid so that it will not vent or spill. Protect your

eyes with safety goggles or a face shield, and cover the skin to prevent contact

with snow or cold gas, or with cold pipes and equipment. Protective gloves can

be quickly and easily removed and long sleeves are recommended for protection.
