The safe use of cryogenic technologies: a handbook for best practice and training

The use of cryogenic materials within both research and industrial environments continues to grow as new technologies gradually embrace the discipline. As these developments establish in more facilities around the world, there will be a consequential increase in the likelihood of cryogenic accidents happening. As the temperature range of cryogenic technologies has potential life-threatening significance to the human body, a greater awareness of the associated risks and how to mitigate hazards is crucial for their safe application. Reflecting and developing on best-practice guidance in the British Cryogenics Council's 'Cryogenics Safety Manual', this book will explore these recognisable hazards along with the vast assortment of regulations which apply to the use of cryogenic materials.
