Ammonia Awareness Safety Training
Ammonia is considered a high health hazard because it is corrosive to the skin, eyes, and lungs. Ammonia is also flammable at certain concentrations, especially when mixed with lubricating oils. It can explode if released in an enclosed space with a source of ignition present, or if a vessel containing anhydrous ammonia is exposed to fire. Fortunately, ammonia has a low odor threshold so most people will seek relief at much lower concentrations.
What Would OSHA Say?
OSHA wants to see employers provide training to employees on any hazards they may face on the job that could cause potential injuries or illnesses. To comply with OSHA ammonia hazards, be sure to follow container requirements. Lancaster Safety can provide the proper training about potential hazards and possible solutions associated with ammonia hazards.
