Provides those unfamiliar with the technology for hydrogen energy applications a basis on which to understand the safety issues. This Technical Report concerns itself with applications that derive their utility from the chemical reactions of hydrogen and does not apply to applications based on nuclear processes.  

This technical report is the logical starting point for any hydrogen system to be designed, installed or operated in Australia. It applies to both liquid and gaseous hydrogen and provides peer reviewed background information, properties of hydrogen, safety issues and references to other applicable standards.
