  • Toxic and Highly Toxic Gas Handling Procedure
    Environmental Health and Safety Toxic and Highly Toxic Gas Handling Procedure Date of Issuance: 10/2019 Revision Date: 5/27/2021 Revision Number: 1 Prepared by: EHS 1. Scope and Background The Carnegie Mellon University Toxic and Highly Toxic Gas Handling Program specifies minimum requirements for safe storage, use, and handling of toxic and highly toxic gas at Carnegie Mellon University. This program has been approved by the Laboratory Safety Committee. This document: • summarizes the health and safety risks associated with toxic and highly toxic gas use and handling; • identifies exposure control methods to protect employee’s safety and health and the environment; • outlines regulatory and university requirements related to this work; • specifies emergency response procedures for addressing toxic gas issues; and • provides resources for further information. Toxic and highly toxic gases are gases that may cause significant acute health effects at low concentrations. Health effects may include severe skin or eye irritation, pulmonary edema, neurotoxicity or other potentially fatal conditions. The criteria used to establish the materials addressed by this policy are: • A National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) health rating of 3 or 4 • An NFPA health rating of 2 with poor physiological warning properties • Pyrophoric (self-igniting) characteristics, OR • An extremely low occupational exposure limits in the absence of an NFPA health rating. Table 1 identifies common gases that meet the criteria of toxic or highly toxic, though it is
