Appendix I: Emergency Response Procedures
Assume a low oxygen atmosphere exists when approaching.
Do not approach a potentially low oxygen atmosphere alone or without a toxic gasmonitor.
Only ITC emergency personnel with gas monitor and NMR training may investigate a lowoxygen alarm.
Do not approach the potentially low oxygen atmosphere if feeling unwell or unsafe.
Ensure a second responder remains outside the potentially low oxygen toxic area butwithin view.
If a second responder is not available consider having the Regina Fire Department attendto the scene.
WITH ANY INDICATION OF A MAGNET QUENCH, CALL VARIAN IMMEDIATELY:1-800-356-4437
Quote inst rument serial number: S011790
1. Make sure you have:a) ITX personal gas monitor capable of measuring oxygen (available from GG313).b) Second qualified responder.
2. Ensure gas monitor is operating properly.
3. Ensure personnel are away from the south and west doors leading into GG112, aswell as the north entrance to GG112.1 and the north stairwell.
4. Open the south door to GG112 and carefully enter GG112. Slowly approach the NMRlab while monitoring oxygen levels.
5. If the oxygen level falls below 19.5% in GG112 (or you feel unwell in any way),leave the lab immediately and close the door. This signifies a release of helium and/ornitrogen gas from the NMR magnet, which displaces the oxygen.
a) The ventilation system in GG112.1 will remove the helium and/or nitrogen gas, butsufficient time must be allotted for this.
b) Immediately verify that all entrances to GG112 and GG112.1 are closed.
Emergency Response Procedures Manual 44
7/28/2019 Emergency Response Procedures Manual.pdf
47/51
c) Post signs and barriers at all entrances to GG112, GG112.1 and the north stairwellto indicate there has been an NMR magnet quench, and that these areas areoxygen deficient and cannot be entered until further notice. Follow steps 1-5 aswell when approaching the north stairwell.
d) For the next hour, check these entrances frequently to ensure barriers have not
been crossed.
e) When an hour has passed, repeat steps 1-5. If oxygen levels are still unsafe,check again in another hour.
f) When oxygen levels are safe in GG112 and the north stairwell, proceed to step 6.
6. If oxygen levels are safe in GG112 and the north stairwell, approach the southdoor to GG112.1 and look into the lab. If oxygen levels are safe but there are visiblesigns of a magnet quench (venting from the magnet, fog and condensation around themagnet and other equipment), do not enter the lab. Return to step 5. Do notattempt to enter GG112.1 until at least an hour after the magnet stops venting. If
there are no signs of a quench, proceed to step 7.
7. If the amount of time specified in step 6 has passed, or there are no signs of amagnet quench, slowly enter GG112.1 while monitoring oxygen levels.
a) If oxygen falls below 19.5% in GG112.1, return to step 5.
b) If there was a quench but oxygen levels are safe in GG112.1, silence the alarmand survey the room to ensure all conditions are safe according to Varians advice.
c) If oxygen levels are safe and there was no quench, the oxygen alarm was false.Silence the alarm and contact work control to arrange for recalibration or repair.
Ensure the NMR lab is not used until the oxygen alarm is functioning properly.
8. When the alarm has stopped and conditions are safe, remove all signs and barricadesand return the gas monitor to GG313.
