I. Test the atmosphere . for
oxygen, toxic . gases - and
explosiveness -
2. If a dangerous. atmosphere
exists. you must ,. wear is
self-contained breathing apparatus.
Ventilate the areas if possible.
3. All mechanical and electrical
equipment must be locked out.
4... Use the "buddy system" .and
wear a lifeline. - Sufficient
equipment and manpower must be
available. The extra person is there
to summon assistance if needed.
5. Establish some form of
communication: verbal; hand
signals; line signals.
6. Never re-enter a confined •
space without retesting or venting
the area.
Gases may be a • significant -
problem in areas where -crops were
damaged •due Co hail. or where
excessive rains have 'contributed to
weed growth. Weeds and . stressed
• plants -tend to harbor higher
- concentrations of free nitrates
which • are converted into silo gas,
ordioxide when put into the silo.
