What is HAZMAT? HAZMAT or Hazardous Materials are chemicals or agents that can injure humans or animals and damage the environment. These dangers can occur from either the hazardous materials themself or by interacting with them.  Materials such as chemicals, dust, fumes, vapours, biological agents, and gases can all be seen as hazardous materials. Any of these materials that are deemed as dangerous materials can cause serious harm, so it is vital they are handled correctly. Workers must ...

Risks in the Construction Industry The construction industry and other associated trades are often at risk when building, digging and engineering at work sites. Working at a height and around gas can often put workers at risk, but they can also become subject to dust produced from the activities on site. Therefore, equipment should be in place on-site to reduce these risks by preventing incidents from occurring and protecting personnel. Gases Typically Found in the Construction INDUSTRY ...

  Chlorine (Cl2) is a gas that appears green/yellow and has a pungent, suffocating smell associated to the smell of bleach. Chlorine is in the ‘halogens’ gas family, alongside fluorine, bromine, and iodine. It is a toxic and corrosive gas that can irritate the human eyes and respiratory system. Chlorine doesn’t burn but supports combustion, similar to oxygen.     The creation of Chlorine dates back to the presence of ...

  The incomplete combustion of fuels produces carbon monoxide (CO), an odourless and colourless gas. When people are exposed to CO gas, the CO molecules in their bodies displace oxygen, causing poisoning.  Our senses cannot identify Carbon Monoxide since it has no odour, colour, or taste. As a result, deadly gas levels can accumulate indoors, with people having no way of detecting the problem until they get unwell. Furthermore, the symptoms of ...

  Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) is a colourless gas but has a very strong smell of rotten eggs. It is an asphyxiant, flammable and explosive gas risk, making it a hazardous gas. H2S exists naturally and is produced by human and animal waste, exists naturally in volcanic gases, and is a by-product of industrial activity. It is very toxic by inhalation. H2S has a melting point of -85.7 Celsius and a boiling point of -60.2 Celcius.     H2S affects t...

  Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), made of nitrogen and oxygen, is a red/brown gas with an odour that has been described as irritating. It is a very poisonous gas and is toxic when inhaled and absorbed through the skin. Nitrogen dioxide is a part of a group of gases called the oxides of nitrogen (NOx). Nitrogen dioxide is typically used in applications such as the manufacturing of chemical explosives and is an oxidiser in rocket fuel. Nitrogen Dioxide has a melting p...

  Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colourless gas with a sour taste and a mild harsh odour. It is one of the most important greenhouse gases linked to global warming, but it is a minor component of the Earth's atmosphere (about 3 volumes in 10,000), formed in the combustion of carbon-containing materials, fermentation, and animal respiration, and used by plants in carbohydrate photosynthesis.   Jan Baptista van Helmont, a Belgian scientist, ident...

  Use our collection of Gas Profiles to find out about each gas and the hazards they hold. Our pages go into depth about target gases and provide information such as their Workplace Exposure Limits. You can also find products linked that are calibrated to target that gas.     The gases have been sorted in alphabetical order. Use our colour-coded Gas Icon Key to determine whether gas is Toxic, Flammable, a VOC or Exotic. A B C D ...

  Oxygen (O2) is a colourless, odourless reactive gas. It is the most prevalent element in the earth's crust, mostly in oxides, silicates, and carbonates, and makes up just under 21% of the atmosphere. In addition to its usage as a respiratory gas in healthcare, oxygen possesses strong oxidising capabilities that can assist various businesses by increasing yields, enhancing performance, lowering costs, and lowering carbon emissions compared to alternativ...

Gas Hazards Within Breweries A brewery refers to the actual building where beer or malt liquors are produced. Many people view beer brewing as an artistic endeavour, but the reality is that there is a rigorous science at work here. Breweries in the current day are held to the same high standards for safety as they are for the quality of their products. There are various gas hazards within breweries that can pose a risk to employees.  Gases found in breweries   There ...

  Phosgene (COCl2), or carbonyl chloride) is a gas used to produce organic compounds, dyestuffs, polycarbonate resins, and isocyanates to produce polyurethane resins? It is colourless, chemically reactive, poisonous, and has an odour similar to musty hay. It initially gained notoriety as a weapon during World War I, when it was used alone or in conjunction with chlorine to kill soldiers. Damage to the lungs is severe from inhalation, and it takes many hours ...

  Ethylene Oxide (ETO) is a colourless and flammable gas that smells sweet and ether-like. It is an organic compound that exists naturally in volcanic environments or with manure and sewage. Ethylene Oxide has a melting point of  -112.55 Celsius and a boiling point -10.5 Celsius. Ethylene Oxide poses a significant risk to human health and is carcinogenic. The most common ways of exposure are via inhalation and ingestion in occupational, environment...

  Hydrazine (H₂NNH₂) is a colourless gas that is very flammable and has a strong odour that is pungent, similar to ammonia. It is a part of the hydronitrogen group of gases and is commonly used as a powerful reducing agent as it is a very corrosive substance.   Hydrazine can be found within water boilers and heating systems as an antioxidant and corrosion inhibitor. It is also used in the pharmaceutical industry and is within fuel pr...

Dangers and Hazards During Shutdowns, Turnarounds, and Outages Shutdowns, turnarounds, and outages (STOs) are planned events that involve the temporary shutdown of an oil and gas facility, such as a refinery or chemical plant. These events are necessary for maintenance, repairs, upgrades, and inspections to ensure the facility operates safely, efficiently, and effectively. However, STOs also present several hazards and dangers that can pose risks to the workers, the environment, and the surrounding ...

  Refrigerant gases are substances used in refrigeration systems to transfer heat from one place to another. They are typically used in air conditioning, refrigerators, and other cooling devices. Refrigerant gases absorb heat from the surrounding environment and then release it in another location. Some common refrigerant gases include chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). CFCs and HCFCs are being phased...

  Butane (C4H10) is a colourless and highly flammable gas that smells similar to natural gas.
