b) Eye Protection
Safety Goggles: Closed, air-tight safety goggles are recommended to
protect against eye irritation caused by ozone exposure. Ensure they
form a seal around the eyes.
c)
Skin Protection
Protective Clothing: Wear long sleeves, long pants, and gloves to
minimize skin exposure. Materials that provide a barrier to gases or are
less permeable to ozone are preferable. Ozone can degrade certain
materials, so it's important to choose protective clothing that is resistant
to oxidation.
d) Other Considerations
Ensure proper fit and training: For respirators, a proper fit test is essential
to ensure the effectiveness of the mask. Users should also be trained on
the correct use and limitations of their PPE.
Monitor ozone levels: Use ozone detectors to monitor the concentration
of ozone in the area to ensure it does not exceed safe levels as
recommended by health and safety guidelines.
Reactivity of Ozone: Ozone is a highly reactive gas. It can react with various
substances and materials. Avoid contact with flammable materials, fuels, and
reactive chemicals.
Danger of Reaction Products: Ozone reactions can produce potentially
harmful by-products. Some of these by-products can be highly reactive or toxic. To
minimize risks, ensure proper ventilation to dissipate by-products.
Explosiveness of Ozone: Ozone gas is not inherently explosive, but it can
react with certain substances to form explosive mixtures. Avoid mixing ozone with
substances that can lead to explosive reactions.
Timers and Automation: Use timers or automation features to control the
duration of ozone generation. Set treatment times according to room size and
ozone concentration guidelines.
