Hazard Severity Levels - Teledyne CombiFlash Companion XL Installation Manual

CombiFlash Companion
If you are using flammable solvents or chemicals with this
system, vapor concentration levels may exceed the maximum
exposure levels as recommended by OSHA Guide 1910.1000.
To reduce those levels to a safe exposure, Teledyne Isco
recommends that you place the system in a laboratory hood
designed for the purpose of ventilation. This hood should be
constructed and operated in accordance with federal, state,
and local regulations. In the event of a solvent or chemical spill,
your organization should have a plan to deal with these
mishaps. In all cases, use good laboratory practices and
standard safety procedures.

1.6.1 Hazard Severity Levels

This manual applies Hazard Severity Levels to the safety

result in minor or moderate injury. This category can also warn you
of unsafe practices, or conditions that may cause property
damage.

not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
DANGER – limited to the most extreme situations to identify
an imminent hazard, which if not avoided, will result in
