Practice5.1 To ensure safe handling, loading, storing, and transport-ing of material, personnel shall be trained in the CGApublications, CFR regulations, and other documents, as listed
16、in Sections 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4, respectively.5.2 Handling:5.2.1 Handling shall be in accordance with CGA Publica-tion No P-1, Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Containersand as specified by the manufacturer.5.2.1.1 Personnel who handle or store, or both, cylinders ofHalon 1301 shall be trained pro
17、perly to recognize and identifythe characteristics of the product and the proper methods ofsafely handling full, partly full, and empty cylinders.5.2.2 All Halon transfers between storage containers andrecycling processes shall be performed by personnel trained inhandling procedures.5.2.3 Halon 1301
18、 recycling and transfer processes shall bein conjunction with the equipment requirements specified bythe manufacturer.5.2.4 Halon handling shall be in nonsmoking, heater-free,ventilated areas to preclude product accumulation. Provisionsshall be made to ensure that service areas limit Halon 1301conce
19、ntrations to not exceed 10 % for 1 min and 0.1 % for 8 h.5.2.5 Cylinders shall not be over filled. The maximumpermitted filling density for Type II product in accordance withSpecification D 5632 shall be 77 lb/ft3(1233 kg/m3). Themaximum permitted filling density for Type I product inaccordance with
20、 Specification D 5632 shall be 70 lb/ft3(1121kg/m3). The liquid portion of the liquefied gas shall notcompletely fill the containers internal volume and the pressureshall not exceed five fourths the service pressure of thecontainer at any temperature up to and including 130F (54C).The filling densit
21、y requirements for pure specification quality(Type II) product are specified in Title 49 CFR 173.304 and173.305.5.2.6 Handling of materials should be done in a manner thatprevents contamination of commingling of materials other thanHalon 1301.5.2.7 Cylinders shall be free of dirt and contamination t
22、hatwould contribute to or would cause deterioration of the productduring shipment or storage. Precautions should be taken toprevent the entry of oil, water, or any other foreign matter intothe container. Unique coatings or preservatives applied prior toshipment to protect the containers are not cons
