cryogenic safety

Cryogenic safety involves handling extremely cold liquids, like liquid nitrogen, with care. These substances can cause severe frostbite or freezing injuries if they contact skin or eyes. They also pose asphyxiation risks by displacing oxygen in the air, especially in enclosed spaces. Proper protective equipment, such as insulated gloves, face shields, and lab coats, is essential. Handling should be done in well-ventilated areas, and containers must be securely sealed to prevent spills or rapid temperature changes. Awareness of these hazards ensures safe use, prevents injuries, and maintains a secure environment when working with cryogenic materials.
