Health And Safety; List Of Safety Factors; Obligations Of Employees - tatsuno OCEAN TOWER Series Installation And User Manual

Natural gas is not dangerous for human health. It has no toxic or poisonous effects. In high concentrations
it may cause suffocation because it reduces the amount of oxygen in inhaled air. When natural gas is
accumulated in a closed room or in an open space under windless conditions an explosive mixture may
be formed (within the range of 4.4 ÷ 17 vol. %) and an explosion may occur after initiation (by open flame,
spark, electric discharge). In rapid expansion from the higher pressure above approx. 15 bar cooling occurs
and water vapour in the vicinity of the discharge opening may freeze – frostbite hazard. Condensate is
flammable and saturated with methane at the moment of discharge. The recommended extinguishing
agent is a dry‐powder extinguisher.
