The principal hazards are cold burns from skin contact, asphyxiation risk from oxygen displacement in poorly ventilated or confined spaces, and pressure build-up in sealed containers if venting is obstructed. These risks are well documented by bodies including the HSE, and they are manageable with proper ventilation, oxygen level monitoring where the space warrants it, correct personal protective equipment, and staff who have been trained on the specific equipment they are using. Paul Hague, Cryolab’s founder, has worked in cryogenic equipment supply for over 40 years, going back to his time as International Sales Manager at Planer plc, and safe handling has been a constant thread through that career. If you are setting up a new facility or reviewing an existing one, it is worth speaking to our team about equipment specification alongside your own formal health and safety risk assessment.
