Balloon Gas Safety | At BOC we put our customers' and employees' safety first. Helium balloon gas is a safe, non-flammable, non-toxic gas which is lighter than air. It can be used safely either indoors or outdoors, provided appropriate care and attention is taken. | |
Dispense Gas Safety | BOC Sureserve are the experts in dispense gas safety and work continually towards improving safety standards, offering you safety assurance. A pub, club or restaurant is not a particularly dangerous place compared to, say, an oil drilling rig, a construction site or a factory floor, but accidents can happen in any environment. | |
Safe Handling of Dry Ice (Solid CO2) | Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, CO2. It is made by compressing and cooling gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) until it liquefies. Expansion converts the liquid into the snow form of the solid state. The snow is then compressed by a hydraulic press into dry ice blocks, slices or pellets. | |
Tank Safety | To maintain safe operation of on-site bulk liquid gas storage vessels ( VIE/VITs) our customers are required to complete a few simple checks to ensure the system remains in good operational condition. The following page contains a powerpoint presentation which details how to manage your installation on a daily basis. |
