Proper Identification of Process Gas LinesHazards: Use of wrong gas, mixing of incompatibles, emergency responder awareness
LBNL is in the process of implementing new requirements for the proper identification of process gas lines in the lab areas. Each process gas line must be clearly identified for the type of gas, direction of flow, and color coded for hazard. We have 1 year to label our lines before the requirement goes into effect, and EHS Division is available to provide you with support.
The following links include access to important information in order to assist you in implementing these requirements:
A brief video that demonstrates how to label gas lines: Gas Line Labeling Video A visual guide showing different labeling configurations: Visual Label Guide An on-line form for ordering labels: Gas Line Label Order Form
The requirements for gas line labeling can be viewed in Chapter 13 of the ES&H Manual: PUB-3000 Chapter 13 Label Requirements. NOTE: These requirements do not apply to plumbing that is part of building construction.
If you have questions regarding proper labeling of process gas lines in your lab area, contact the ETA Safety Manager, Ron Scholtz, at X8137 or the EHS Division contact, Alyssa Brand at [email protected] for assistance.
