A.1 SAFETY
Chapter Objective: This chapter describes the general precautions the operator
should take care while operating the machine.

Safeties in Handling LiBr: LiBr has to be stored in a cool and well-ventilated location and
possible contact with water is to be avoided. Special measures
are not required for handling. However, while handling the
chemical, exposure is to be avoided with minimum contact with
skin and eye. It is not recommended to inhale LiBr smell too
much. The emptied containers should be disposed of properly
(as per applicable regulations).
The work area should be provided with adequate local exhaust
ventilation, where dust or mist may be generated. Local
exhaust ventilation, confinement of the mist generation
equipment and/or room ventilation system, as well as
adequate engineering controls are needed, to ensure worker
exposure below TLV (Threshold Limit Value for Chemical
Substances in the Work Environment).
a] Number of persons exposed should be minimum.
b] Chemical goggles, rubber gloves and respiratory
protection are recommended for use.
c] Clothing should be close fitting and clean.
d] Eating, smoking and drinking are not permitted, while
handling LiBr.
e] Breathing LiBr mist is prohibited.
f] A hot shower is recommended for the worker, handling
the chemical, after the work shift.
g] The leaking and spilled liquid is to be collected in
sealable containers as far as possible.
h] The remaining liquid has to be absorbed in dry sand or
inert absorbent.
i] Washing away the chemical to sewer is not
recommended.

Safeties against hot


surfaces: The operator should avoid direct contact with the Hot Surfaces
of machine. The operator has to wear gloves while working /
touching such surfaces.
