IGC Fire Manual for Rexburg Satellite LNG Facilities 4.0.EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO CRYONGENIC FLUIDS 4.3.Exposure to LNG Liquified Natural Gas exposed to atmospheric pressure is at sub-zero temperatures,approximately minus—-260'and contact with skin will result in server frostbite. LNG spills expose the Vap.Tech to several hazards,including localized cold effects such as cryogenic burns, frostbite,and general cold effects(hypothermia,lung damage,asphyxia).In the event of ignition and burning of the vapor cloud,thermal radiation hazards would also exist.Direct contact with a cryogenic liquid generally produces rapid freezing of tissue because of the high rate of heat transfer. Keeping the liquid confined within piping and storage vessels and wearing adequate protective apparel are the two best ways to avoid exposure of the liquid to skin.Contact with cold gas will usually involve more body area that liquid contact.When cold gas is released in a jet with corresponding high rate of heat transfer,the result can be rapid freezing of large portions of the body.Equipment and structures should also be protected from contact with low temperature vapor to prevent embrittlement of materials. When handling of LNG or equipment which contains LNG,protective clothing should be worn to protect the skin against the extremely low temperatures encountered.Leather gloves should always be worn when handling anything that is or may have been in contact with LNG.Gloves should be loose-fitting so that they may be easily removed should liquid splash onto or into them.If splashing or spraying of LNG is likely to occur,the face and eyes should be protected with a face shield.Overalls or similar type work clothing should be worn preferably without pockets or cuffs and trousers should be worn outside of boots.Where there is considerable risk of spilling or spraying,special clothing which provides protection against frostbite,flash burn or fire should be worn.

Storage, and Handling of Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) 2001 Edition, 9.7.Personnel Safety. 9.7.1.*Protective clothing,which will provide protection against the effects of exposure to LNG,shall be available and readily accessible at the facility. 9.7.2.Those employees who are involved in emergency activities,as determined in accordance with 9.1.2., shall be equipped with the necessary protective clothing and equipment and qualified in accordance with NFPA 600,Standard on industrial Fire Brigades *Appendix A Explanatory Material A 9.7.1.Protective clothing for normal liquid transfer operations should include cryogenic gloves,safety, face shields,and coveralls or long-sleeve shirts.
