The
use of cryogenic materials within both research and industrial environments
continues to grow as new technologies gradually embrace the discipline. As
these developments establish in more facilities around the world, there will be a consequential
increase in the likelihood of cryogenic accidents happening. As the temperature
range of cryogenic technologies has potential life-threatening significance to
the human body, a greater awareness of the associated risks and how to mitigate
hazards is crucial for their safe application. Reflecting and developing on
best-practice guidance in the British Cryogenics Council’s “Cryogenics Safety
Manual”, this book will explore these recognisable hazards along with the vast
assortment of regulations which apply to the use of cryogenic materials.
