Preface Safety Alerts and Important Information Safety Symbols and Signal Words All safety symbols are followed by WARNING or CAUTION, which indicates the degree of risk for personal injury and/or instrument damage. Cautions and warnings are following by a descriptor. A WARNING is intended to prevent improper actions that could cause personal injury. A CAUTION is intended to prevent improper actions that may cause personal injury and/or instrument damage. The following safety symbols may be found on your instrument and/or in this guide. BURN HAZARD: This symbol alerts you to the presence of a hot surface that could or may cause burn injuries. ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: This symbol indicates that an electrical shock could or may occur. FIRE HAZARD: This symbol indicates a risk of fire or flammability could or may occur. FLAMMABLE GAS HAZARD: This symbol alerts you to gases that are compressed, liquefied or dissolved under pressure and can ignite on contact with an ignition source. This symbol indicates this risk could or may cause physical injury. GLOVES REQUIRED: This symbol indicates that you must wear gloves when performing a task or physical injury could or may occur. HAND AND CHEMICAL HAZARD: This symbol indicates that chemical damage or physical injury could or may occur. INSTRUMENT DAMAGE: This symbol indicates that damage to the instrument or component may occur. This damage may not be covered under the standard warranty. LIFTING HAZARD: This symbol indicates that a physical injury could or may occur if two or more people do not lift an object. MATERIAL AND EYE HAZARD: This symbol indicates that eye damage could or may occur. RADIOACTIVE: This symbol indicates that exposure to radioactive material could or may occur. READ MANUAL: This symbol alerts you to carefully read your instrument’s documentation to ensure your safety and the instrument’s operational ability. Failing to carefully read the documentation could or may put you at risk for a physical injury. TOXIC SUBSTANCES HAZARD: This symbol indicates that exposure to a toxic substance could occur and that exposure could or may cause personal injury or death. This is the general warning symbol that the ISO 3864-2 standard uses to prevent personal injury. This symbol precedes the WARNING safety alert word. In the vocabulary of ANSI Z535 signs, this symbol indicates a possible personal injury hazard exists if the instrument is improperly used or if unsafe actions occur. We use this symbol and another appropriate safety symbol to alert you to an imminent or potential hazard that could cause personal injury. xii ISQ User Guide Thermo Scientific
Hydrogen Safety Precautions Preface Hydrogen Safety Precautions Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, highly flammable gas with the molecular formula H 2 and an atomic weight of 1.00794, making it the lightest element. Hydrogen gas presents a hazard as it is combustible over a wide range of concentrations: at ambient temperature and pressure, this ranges from about 4% to 74.2% by volume. Hydrogen has a flash point of - 423 °F (- 253 °C) and an auto-ignition temperature of 1,040 °F (560 °C). It has a very low ignition energy and the highest burning velocity of any gas. If hydrogen is allowed to expand rapidly from high pressure, it can self-ignite. Hydrogen burns with a flame that can be invisible in bright light. WARNING - FIRE HAZARD: The use of hydrogen as a carrier gas is dangerous. Hydrogen is potentially explosive and must be used with extreme care. Any use of hydrogen gas must be reviewed by appropriate health and safety staff and all installations of hydrogen systems must be performed to applicable codes and standards. Thermo Fisher Scientific assumes no liability for the improper use of hydrogen as a carrier gas. Before you begin using hydrogen, you should conduct a risk assessment based on the quantity of hydrogen to be used and the conditions of your laboratory. You should ask yourself: “What hydrogen hazards associated with this project are most likely to occur?” “What hydrogen hazards associated with this project have the potential to result in the worst consequences?” • Try to reduce or eliminate the higher risks by using the proper ventilation to remove hydrogen gas before an ignitable concentration can accumulate. You should also consider purging the hydrogen to further reduce hazards and ensure anyone who will be working with hydrogen has basic hydrogen safety training. • As with laboratory safety in general, be sure to wear safety glasses, laboratory coats, gloves, etc. Typically there are no specific requirements for gaseous hydrogen, other than eye protection when working with a compressed gas. If working with liquid (cryogenic) hydrogen, insulated gloves and protective shoes should be worn in addition to eye protection. • You should post “No Smoking” and “No Open Flames” signs to identify hydrogen sources and cylinders. Maintain, inspect and leak-test all hydrogen sources regularly. • All hydrogen shutoff valves should be clearly marked and permanent hydrogen piping should be labeled as such at the supply or discharge point and at regular intervals along its length. Where hydrogen gas piping passes through a wall, the piping should be labeled on both sides of the wall. • There should also be contingency plans in place should an incident occur. • The site emergency response team, as well as the local fire department, should know the location of all hydrogen storage tanks.
