Title:
Safety Concerns When Using Dry Ice Blasting for Hazardous Materials Remediation
Dry ice blasting is a relatively new and useful remediation tool.
Dry ice blasting can be performed safely.
However, without a complete understanding of the hazards associated with dry ice
blasting both workers and bystanders can be injured or killed.
CSC performed a case study that reveals some of the key hazards.
Attendees will learn:
- The history of dry ice
- The properties of dry ice
- The basics principals of dry ice blasting
- The benefits associated with dry ice blasting
- The hazards associated with dry ice blasting
- The synergistic hazards associated with dry ice blasting for the remediation of hazardous materials (mold, lead based paint, asbestos, etc.)
- The outcome of the 2007 Clark Seif Clark, Inc. (CSC) & Arizona Environmental Group (AEG) case study, which demonstrates some key hazards.
- Principals for developing and executing a safe work plan for dry ice blasting during remediation
