On-site personnel performing treatment of reactive metals/chemicals must continue to exercise caution. Although there is an inherent risk in treating reactive metals/chemicals, personnel must adhere to conduct of operations principles to include conducting a formal pre-evolutionary briefing. During the briefing, a review of the job safety analysis and/or other applicable policies/procedures should be discussed to ensure strict compliance with all safety precautions associated with personnel protection. Prior to commencement of treatment processes, laboratory hoods must be designed with appropriate blast shielding or other pre-determined engineering safety features.
