Before entering containers which are equipped with CA systems, the oxygen content must be increased to normal (21%) by ventilation. Carrier Transicold containers using the CA option are equipped with: 1. Hazard labels on the front of the unit. 2. Hazard labels near the evaporator access panels. Hazard labels on the evaporator motor mounting bracket.
CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE (CA) SAFE CONTAINER ENTRY Entry into a CA equipped container must be performed by a (minimum) two person team. The operator will be the person performing the required procedures and that person is to be supervised by someone who is familiar with the required procedures.
ENTERING CONTAINER IN AN EMERGENCY In case of a power failure to the unit, there is no emergency provision to unlock the automatic door interlock system: DANGER WHEN OVERRIDING THE CA CONTROLLER, THE OPERATOR MUST BE AWARE OF THE IMMEDIATE DANGER OF UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND DEATH.
PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING COMPRESSED GAS Chemical safety goggles or a full face shield shall be used while handling cylinders of compressed gas. If the unit is being supplied with nitrogen or carbon dioxide, all nonessential persons shall be prohibited from being in or entering the container space while this procedure is taking place.
