Handling of gas at the laboratory in case of fire or accident
If possible, turn off the gas in the lab or at an emergency valve. It is vital for all users to be familiar with how and where to turn off the gas in case of an emergency.
If there is risk of personal injury, immediately evacuate the building and move all personnel to a secure zone, close all doors and contact 112 (0112 via LiU's switchboard). Tell the rescue services about the type of gas concerned i.e. any hazardous characteristics plus which system is involved, central gas or gas tubes. Also state the number of gas tubes at the location and where the shut off valves are.
When using combustible or explosive gas, it is essential that the risk assessment describes for example what would happen during a power cut or ventilation stop. Are there sources of possible ignition? What would happen when power came back on as concerns sources of ignition?
