Chlorine Gas (Cl2) Safety-Toolbox Talks

Chlorine Gas (Cl2) Safety

Exposure to a concentrated (rich or potent) quantity of chlorine can be toxic and irritate the skin, eyes, nose and mucous membranes. Chlorine need not be a serious hazard if the people working with it are properly trained and competent in its handling. Below mentioned are some technical guidelines for assuring the safe handling of chlorine.

  1. Make a provision of appropriate, essential and clear instruction and supervision to workers accountable for chlorine equipment.
  2. Provide proper and approved self-contained Breathing Apparatus (BP’s) in areas where Chlorine gas (Cl2) is stored or utilized.
  3. Keep all Breathing Apparatus (BP’s) stored outside the immediate chlorine area.
  4. Prepare Emergency Escape Plans (EEP) from areas where there might be a chlorine emission.
  5. Always remember to move uphill and upwind.
  6. Never store combustible or flammable materials or substances near chlorine containers and or storage areas.
  7. Never apply to heal directly to a chlorine container.
  8. Never attempt to weld an empty Chlorine gas (Cl2) pipeline without purging it with air first.
  9. Install safety showers and eyewash stations near chlorine equipment.
  10. If there is an emergency leakage of Chlorine occurs, at least two persons should make the repairs, and never try to handle it alone.
  11. Don’t spray water on leaking containers; it can make the leak worse.
  12. While entering an equipment area, take shallow breaths until you are sure that there is not a further chlorine gas leak.
  13. Always trust and or rely upon chlorination equipment for direct disposal of chlorine gas.
  14. Secure Chlorine gas (Cl2) containers/cylinders with chains, chocks, or trunnions.

Safety Rules for Chlorine

  1. Cylinders and Containers (100-150 Pound Cylinders)
  2. Never expose a Chlorine gas (Cl2) cylinder to heat.
  3. Never tamper with a fusible plug.
  4. Always keep the hood in place, except when the cylinder is being utilized.
  5. Never lift a cylinder by its hood, it could be dangerous and not secured.
  6. Never practice connecting two or more cylinders discharging liquid valves of two or more containers to a common manifold.
  7. Never drop or knock over a Chlorine gas (Cl2) cylinder
  8. Never try to move filled Chlorine gas (Cl2) containers with equipment rated under two-ton capacity.

Ton Containers

  1. Never expose a Chlorine gas (Cl2) cylinder to heat.
  2. Never tamper with a fusible plug.
  3. Do not move filled Chlorine gas (Cl2) ton containers with equipment rated under two-ton capacity.
  4. Do not connect liquid valves of two or more Chlorine gas (Cl2) containers to a common manifold.
  5. Store Chlorine gas (Cl2) containers in separately marked areas protected from heat sources.
  6. Do not use or store Chlorine gas (Cl2) containers near air intakes or basements where fumes could spread to other areas.

Chlorine Data Sheet Description

Chlorine gas (Cl2) is greenish-yellow by its colour, non-flammable, and about 2.5 times heavier than air.

Hazards

Chlorine can be toxic and irritate skin, eyes, nose, and mucous membranes. Liquid chlorine can cause severe irritation and blistering of the skin.

Alternating Current VS Direct Current Toolbox Talks

Toolbox talks (TBT) are a better way to highlight occupational health safety and environmental issues, and help to fulfill legal requirement to provide appropriate health and safety information to employees, site operatives and other stakeholders. If we are carrying out toolbox talks it is essential to keep records of the conducted trainings.

For more health and safety-related free documents such as the method of statements, risk assessments, JSA’s. JHA’s, facility management, civil, electrical reports and forms, food safety documents, toolbox talks, HSE training, orientations in PowerPoint, and along with all these free downloads, you can also request for any document you required for your project. When you request for any health and safety and environmental document via our website at  https://www.hsedocuments.com/, we try to search for that document in our HSE Document library, if not found in the library, we request our professionals to prepare the requested document and upload as soon as possible on our website. Just subscribe our website to get every document’s uploading notification.

Following are some of the main points to prepare toolbox talks for the Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC)

INTRODUCTION

  1. Make a proper review of any accidents/incident or near miss from the previous week/near past.
  2. Explain the project or work-related hazards and possible risks. 
  3. Clearly explain SAFE way of doing the job.

TOOLBOX SAFETY TALK

  1. It's not the voltage that kills, but the current. There are 2-types of Electrical Current (EC) utilized in construction or developing-Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC). 
  2. Alternating Current (AC) changes its direction of travel many times a second. 
  3. DC flows in only one direction. 
  4. AC is the type of electricity used at most construction sites and in homes because it can be transformed to lower voltages and transported long distances without losing much power.
  5. Voltage, by its very nature, is a manifestation or demonstration of potential energy. 
  6. Both Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC) currents can be deadly.
  7. 100 volts AC in the home and as little as 42 volts DC have killed people. 
  8. The actual measurement of a shack's intensity depends in the real amount of current (in Milli-amperes) forced through the human or live body.
  9. Various Electrical device utilized on a House Wiring Circuit (HWC) can, under certain environmental conditions or circumstances allow a fatal or deadly quantity or amount of current to flow. 
  10. Always use safe work practices and take all safety measures when working around electricity of any voltage.
  11. Any voltage is considered to be capable of delivering dangerous amounts of current.
  12. Use The ground-fault circuit interrupter, or GFCI, (it protects against the most common form of electrical shock hazard) and an assured equipment grounding program on all circuits in construction.
