Carbon Dioxide Safety Program

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a “sleeper hazard;” very little information outside scientific literature has been published to help facilities understand CO₂ health effects and control CO₂ exposures. This Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) Safety Program – Chemical and Physical Properties; Major Uses; Ethanol Manufacturing Production of CO₂; Physical and Health Hazards; and Guidelines for Maintaining Safe Working Conditions, Including Safety Awareness, Safe Handling, and Hazard Minimization is designed to fill the gaps. 

A poster and brochure, Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) Safety Awareness, are available that condense the information in the program booklet. The poster and brochure highlight what CO₂ is, symptoms of overexposure, things you need to know, your process and how to be safe.
