Control measure knowledge

Strategic actions

Fire and rescue services should:

Ensure that personnel have access to advice regarding the specific hazards presented by released cryogenic materials

Tactical actions

Incident commanders should:

Identify triggers for a rapid expansion of a cryogenic liquid
Ensure that no other substances are allowed ingress into the container
Ensure that substances which may be reactive with cryogenic materials are kept separated
Identify signs that the pressure inside a cryogenic container has increased
Establish if any loss of cooling or insulation of the cryogenic container has occurred
Liaise with on-site personnel to determine safety features of the container
Use signs, labels, markings and container types to identify the presence of cryogenic materials
Avoid water and other extinguishing media entering any cryogenic containment system
