Safety Guidelines
Guidelines for the Safe Storage of Dry Ice Products.
Storage
ALWAYS
store dry ice in an area which is:
- Well ventilated
- Preferably not below ground
- Accessible with mechanical lifting equipment (where the ice is stored in large containers)
- Out of direct sunlight and sources of heat
- Secure – to prevent unauthorised access.
Suitable dry ice containers are available from your supplier. Generally, the principle is – the better the insulation,
the slower the sublimation rate and the longer the quality of the product will be maintained.
DO NOT
store or use dry ice in any gas tight container. Within large containers, gas rich atmospheres will have built up.
ALWAYS
secure the container lid open before reaching in to unload the product.
AVOID
leaning into the container for longer than necessary.
