CHLORINE BASICS 35 such assistance is not immediately available continue eye irrigation for a second 15- minute period. 7.3 MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE The Chlorine Institute recommends a medical surveillance program, which would include baseline and periodic examinations, for personnel working in chlorine production, use, or handling facilities who are potentially exposed to chlorine, at or above the ACGIH® guideline of 0.5 ppm TWA or 1 ppm STEL during normal operations. Additional information on a medical surveillance program can be found in CI Pamphlet 63 (11.1). 8. ENGINEERING DESIGN AND MAINTENANCE 8.1 STRUCTURES Buildings and structures to house chlorine equipment or containers should conform to local building and fire codes. Any building used to house chlorine equipment or containers should be designed and constructed to protect all elements of the chlorine system from hazards. If flammable materials are stored or used in the same building, then a fire wall should be erected to separate the two areas. Non-combustible construction is recommended. Chlorine monitoring equipment which continuously samples the air and detects the presence of chlorine is available and should be considered in any storage or operating area where chlorine can be released. See CI Pamphlet 73 (11.1). At least two exits should be provided from each separate room or building in which chlorine is stored, handled or used. Exit doors should not be locked and should open outward. Platforms should be designed to facilitate egress and two or more access stairways or ladders should be considered. Steel structures should be protected to prevent corrosion. 8.2 VENTILATION The ventilation requirements must be determined on a site-specific basis. 8.2.1 General The building ventilation system should provide fresh air for normal operation and should take into consideration the possibility of a chlorine leak. In some cases, natural ventilation may be adequate; otherwise, mechanical ventilation systems should be installed. Safeguards should be in place to ensure that persons do not remain in nor enter buildings where chlorine is present in the atmosphere due to a leak or equipment failure without the appropriate personal protective equipment. All ventilation systems for buildings that house equipment or containers should conform to applicable building code requirements and American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) recommendations.PDF Image | Chlorine Basics 8
