- Hydrogen Production/Use Systems
- Fuel Cell
Procedures will be revised to include specific information about hydrogen sensors and alarm controls. Caution will be added about sparks and flames in the fuel cell operation area. Workers will be cautioned that shunt resistors may reach high temperatures, shunt resistors should be kept away from gas tubing and other electrical wiring but near the fan; and shunt resistors should be checked periodically to assure that a good connection is made, thus preventing overheating. The procedure will also be revised to specify the proper hierarchy of emergency notification.
Workers should think twice about blowing out a fire, even if it is perceived as small. Serious injury can result even if the fire is relatively small. Flammable gases such as hydrogen and oxygen could provide additional fuel. It is important to document changes to an experiment through a formal change control process. On-the-Job training should be provided in several modes of communication. An electronic mail notification should not be the only and primary method of communication.
