Good morning! The ChE Safety Committee updated the Gas Cylinder Handling Procedures for FRNY Building document to include recommendations on how to transport liquid nitrogen tanks and Dewars safely in the building. The update is reflected in the following statement: v Always check the pressure and release excess pressure when moving liquid nitrogen tanks or Dewars, empty or full. Carry cryogenic gloves with you to help you release the excess pressure safely. The above statement is bullet #7 in the aforementioned document, which is posted on our website (https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/aboutus/safety) under the Laboratory Safety Requirements heading. I also attach the document, for your convenience. Should you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you for your commitment to safety!
