Safety tips for handling dry ice
Wear Protective Gear: Always use insulated gloves to handle dry ice. The extreme cold can cause instant frostbite on bare skin. Also, consider using eye protection, as the sublimation of dry ice into carbon dioxide gas can sometimes propel small particles outward.
Ventilation is Key: Work in a well-ventilated area. Dry ice sublimates, turning from solid directly into carbon dioxide gas, which can displace oxygen in the air. This could create a suffocation hazard in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces.
Avoid Ingestion or Inhalation: Never eat or swallow dry ice, and avoid inhaling the gas as it sublimates. Ingesting dry ice can cause internal frostbite.
Use Appropriate Containers: Do not store dry ice in airtight containers. Pressure can build up, causing the container to expand or even explode. Use insulated but not airtight containers to store and transport dry ice.
Handle with Care: Use tongs in addition to insulated gloves when handling dry ice to minimize the risk of contact burns.
Do Not Leave Unattended Around Children or Pets: Due to its extreme temperature and potential to sublimate into a gas, it can pose serious risks if handled improperly. Educate others about its hazards and ensure it’s kept out of reach.
