Protecting Workers in Hazardous Environments

Water and wastewater facilities are among the most dangerous workplaces — H₂S kills more workers than any other toxic gas

⚠️ Key Hazards in Water Facilities

☠️

Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S)

The "silent killer" — heavier than air, accumulates in low areas. Deadens sense of smell at dangerous levels. IDLH: 100 ppm. Found in sewers, digesters, wet wells, headworks.

💥

Methane (CH₄)

Explosive in 5-15% concentration range. Generated in digesters, sewers, and any anaerobic environment. Lighter than air — accumulates at ceiling level.

🫁

Oxygen Deficiency

Biological activity consumes O₂ in confined spaces. Normal: 20.9%. Danger below 19.5%. Asphyxiation risk in manholes, tanks, and enclosed areas.

🧪

Chlorine & Disinfectants

Toxic at low concentrations. Cl₂ exposure limit: 0.5 ppm TWA. Chemical storage and dosing areas require continuous monitoring.

✅ NANOZ Safety Solutions

📡
