Safety Guidelines
FR Wear Update - Gaseous Environment
Definition:
– 20% LEL, 1% Gas
– Company employees and
emergency responders only
FR Wear Update - Non Gaseous Environment
Working Definition:
An environment where
engineering controls or
other processes are in
place such that no loss of
containment is possible or
any containment volume
lost (either intentionally or
unintentionally) is not
considered a hazard to
personnel
FR Wear Update - Potentially Gaseous
Working Definition:
An environment where the potential exists for a hazardous loss of
containment; this loss of containment may result from a
catastrophic failure or through a controlled process such as
blowdown/purging, tapping, welding, or other interaction with
active gas pipelines or services
Please Check Your Labels
Potentially Gaseous and Gaseous
Environment Notes
• When gas is released, constantly monitor the gas levels
in the area; establish a public safety perimeter
(1926.651)
• Remove all blended material garments – including
gloves (wear leather or FR gloves) and UnderArmourtype thermal wear
• Remove all ignition sources, including cell phones and
traffic vests
• Man the fire extinguishers upwind
